Fairview Neighbourhood Information
Originally established in the 1950s and the 1960s, the neighborhood of Fairview continues to feature many of the original homes built in that initial period. Tucked in between Glenmore Trail to the north, Blackfoot Trail to the east, Heritage Drive to the south, and MacLeod Trail to the west, Fairview sits in southeast Calgary and remains a view into the Calgary of yesteryear with properties occupying large lots with many properties exceeding 1,000 sq. ft. Many of the neighborhood’s original tenants continue to occupy the original properties as is. In recent years, Fairview has continued to expand as it now maintains a population of nearly 3,700 residents across 1,700 dwellings.
Public school students in Fairview attend Acadia Elementary, David Thompson Junior High, and Lord Beaverbrook Senior High School. Meanwhile, Catholic school students living in the community attend St. Matthew Elementary and Junior High before proceeding to Bishop Grandin Senior High School.
The major feature of Fairview has always been its location, with regards to its close proximity to many major amenities – Fairmont Drive bisects the neighborhood from north to south; across Blackfoot Trail lies several commercial opportunities that residents enjoy taking advantage of; and the Chinook Centre is located just northwest of the community. In addition to the primary residential west side of Fairview, the eastern half is largely industrial with numerous employment opportunities offered. The Fairview community association also remains in close contact with the City to advocate on behalf of residents on issues ranging from traffic concerns to zoning regulations.
Calgary Transit offers several bus stops at various points throughout the cityscape that forms Fairview. These are to assist residents with affordable transportation to other areas of Calgary.
No matter the season, the neighborhood of Fairview is always in blossom with opportunities celebrating everything from Calgary’s small businesses to the city’s pathway system and beyond. Ethnic cultures, family, the arts, and the beauty of the city are all fine points made in the Fairview area.

The neighborhood can be a festival onto itself at certain times of the year and offers never a dull moment – no matter who you are. It’s worth being seen.
