Why Varsity Residents Choose to Age in Place
Varsity is a mature, well-established northwest neighbourhood with one of Calgary's highest concentrations of seniors — over 22% of residents are aged 65 and older. Developed in the 1960s and 70s, it features wide lots, abundant green space, and the innovative Radburn-plan Varsity Village with its network of car-free pedestrian pathways.
The neighbourhood's proximity to the University of Calgary, Market Mall shopping, Foothills Medical Centre, and the YMCA at Crowfoot gives residents convenient access to healthcare, fitness, shopping, and lifelong learning — making it a natural choice for aging in place.
Our home care services support Varsity residents in maintaining the independent lifestyle they've built over decades — from morning walks along the pedestrian pathways to afternoon visits to the library or community centre. We understand that Varsity isn't just a neighbourhood; it's where life's most meaningful chapters unfold.
