Who Lives in Livingston?

Young families in new homes. In the 2021 Census, 25% of residents were under 15 and 4% were 65 or older. Most homes were bought new from a builder, and semi-detached homes and townhomes make up more than a quarter of the community.

Why Livingston? New homes, a large residents' facility on the doorstep and a young, family-focused community. The trade-offs: almost everyone drives, construction is still under way in parts of the community, and the Green Line is still only a plan, with no completion date. If you work downtown, the drive is the trade-off: about 33 minutes at weekday rush hour and about 26 at quieter times of day. If you work at CrossIron Mills or the airport, the drive is much shorter: about 12 and 16 minutes at rush hour.

Living in Livingston: A Complete Guide

Daily Life in Livingston

Livingston runs north from Stoney Trail and 144 Avenue NW to 160 Avenue N, between about 7 Street NW and 6 Street NE. Because it straddles Centre Street, homes on one side have NW addresses and homes on the other have NE addresses. Daily life centres on The Hub and its park, and most errands mean a drive south across Stoney Trail.

Parks, Pathways & Playgrounds

City of Calgary parks data shows 11 park sites inside Livingston covering about 22 hectares. The largest is a community park of about 10 hectares. About 11 km of City pathway runs through the community, including about 2 km of the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway, the network of parks and pathways that circles the city. The Hub's outdoor park adds rinks, a splash park, a playground and tennis courts.

Playgrounds

Space Jam Park and The Hub's playground, with more opening as the community builds out.

The Hub and the Homeowners Association

Every home in Livingston belongs to the Livingston Homeowners Association. Its yearly fee pays to run The Hub, inside and out, and to maintain the entrance features and the landscaping at key spots around Livingston.

Inside The Hub

A 35,000 sq ft facility with a gymnasium, banquet hall, community kitchen, meeting and multi-use rooms, a skate change area, and space for daycare and a cafe.

Outside

Leisure and hockey rinks, a splash park, a playground, tennis courts, an amphitheatre and ping pong tables.

The Community Association

The volunteer Livingston Community Association, registered in January 2021, is separate from the homeowners association and speaks for residents on civic issues.

Getting Around

  • Buses: Calgary Transit's stop data (November 2026) shows Route 137 (Livingston) with 10 stops in the community, running to North Pointe Terminal, the bus hub about 3 km south in Country Hills Village. From there, the MAX Green bus runs downtown. Routes 115 (Symons Valley Parkway) and 124 (Evanston) have 4 stops each and also run to North Pointe, and Route 115 continues to Tuscany Station on the CTrain Red Line.
  • School route: Calgary Transit's Route 753 (Fowler / Livingston) runs from Livingston to James Fowler High School on 4 Street NW.
  • By car: Stoney Trail along the south edge and Centre Street through the middle. In 2021, 87% of working residents drove and 4% took transit.
  • Commute times: 38% of commuters took 30 to 44 minutes, against 22% across Calgary.
  • Green Line: the City's full plan has stations at 144 Avenue N and 160 Avenue N, but only Phase 1, from Shepard in the southeast to downtown, is funded and under construction. Expansion north depends on Council direction and funding.

Commuter Insight: By car it's about 33 minutes to downtown at weekday rush hour and about 26 minutes off-peak. These times are from the middle of Livingston to 500 6 Avenue SW, downtown, measured with Google Maps in November 2026, on weekday trips in at 8:00 a.m. and back at 4:00 p.m. for rush hour, and in at 10:00 a.m. and back at 2:00 p.m. off-peak. Measured the same way, CrossIron Mills is about 12 minutes at rush hour and 13 off-peak, and the airport about 16 at both times.

Schools & Education

For 2026-27, the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) designates Cambrian Heights School (K-6), Colonel Irvine School (7-9) and James Fowler High School (10-12). Cambrian Heights is in lottery or overflow, so a spot there isn't guaranteed. Calgary Catholic designates Mother Mary Greene School (elementary), St. Jean Brebeuf School (junior high) and St. Francis High School (high school).

None of the designated schools are in Livingston, so students take a bus or are driven. School boundaries can change as new schools open in the north, so if schools matter to your move, HappyHouseHunting.ca can confirm the designated schools for any address you're considering.

Homes & Real Estate in Livingston

In the 2021 Census, 71% of Livingston's 1,330 homes were single-detached, 18% row homes, 10% semi-detached and 1% apartments, and 97% had been built between 2016 and 2021. For recent prices, see the latest market data of Livingston: average sale price, days on market and number of sales over the last 30 days. The search above shows every home for sale in Livingston right now.

New or Nearly New

A builder's new home and a resale a few years old differ on price, finish, what is included, and how much landscaping or basement work is left to do.

Townhomes & Semi-Detached

More than a quarter of homes, and the usual way in for first-time buyers. For anything with a condo fee, once your offer is accepted and before conditions are removed, a professional condo document reviewer reads the reserve fund study, financial statements, AGM minutes and insurance certificate. The reviewer then goes through the report with you in plain English: Is this building on track? Are capital items deferred? Is the funded ratio healthy? HappyHouseHunting.ca helps you decide whether the price reflects what the report found, and whether to waive the condition.

Buying a Home in Livingston

Market Dynamics

Builders are still selling new homes in Livingston, so resale homes compete with them. The sold listings at the bottom of this page show recent Livingston sales.

Buyer Considerations

Before you make an offer, HappyHouseHunting.ca helps you compare a builder's new home with a resale a few years old: for the new home, the warranty, the possession date and what is included; for the resale, what is left of its new home warranty. We also check what is planned on nearby land and which schools the address is designated to.

Compare to Other Communities

Carrington is next door to the west and still being built out too, but more of its homes are detached: 85% single-detached in the 2021 Census, against 71% here, with fewer semi-detached homes and townhomes.

vs. Panorama Hills

Panorama Hills is south across Stoney Trail and older: established in 1994, with most homes from the 2000s and its own residents' centre.

vs. Airdrie

Airdrie is a separate city a short drive north on the QEII, for buyers comparing new homes outside Calgary.

The Livingston Advantage: New homes, almost all built since 2016, and a young community with The Hub's rinks, splash park and gym on the doorstep. Its 11 City park sites and about 11 km of pathway include part of the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway.

REVIEWS

My husband and I recently purchased a home in Airdrie with Justin Newman and couldn't be happier with our experience! He guided us through the whole process, was incredibly helpful in answering questions, and went above and beyond to make sure the whole process was stress free and seamless. He was always available for phone calls and helped us navigate every aspect of the purchase (showings, home inspection, condo doc read, lawyers etc.). We highly recommend Happy House Hunting and Justin for a realtor in the Calgary area and will definitely be using him again!

Justin was prompt with his responses and clear with expectation for the process. It was a smooth and enjoyable selling experience with him. I have worked with couple other realtors before and I can say with confident Justin would be who I will use for any of my future transaction.

Gyann Yiu

Justin Newman was wonderful to work with. He helped us through an emotional time as we had to sell our family home that my parents had lived in for over 50 years. His vast experience and knowledge was valuable throughout this process. He walked us through everything and answered all questions in a manner that was easy to understand. He always made himself available and we appreciated his insight. He told us what was needed to sell the home and, when we were ready, listed the home in a wide variety of online venues. The photos and drone views of the home and area were incredible and added to helping to sell our family home quickly. He held open houses in a very short period of time after listing it, and also helped us navigate the multiple offers we received. Our family home sold quickly. We have nothing but positive things to say about the honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity of Justin and would highly recommend him if you are looking to sell or buy a home. We would not hesitate to use his services again.
