Evanston, one of Calgary's most sought-after residential neighborhoods, is known for its modern developments and family-friendly atmosphere. For those looking to buy a townhouse, it’s important to understand the current market and the factors influencing property values. In this article, we'll explore the typical cost of a townhouse in Evanston and what potential buyers need to know.
Located in Northwest Calgary, Evanston is a relatively new and fast-growing community that attracts young families, professionals, and first-time homebuyers. The area is known for its scenic views, well-designed homes, and proximity to amenities. From local schools and parks to convenient shopping centers and easy access to major roads, Evanston has become a popular choice for those seeking a balanced lifestyle.
The size of the townhouse, including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall square footage, will greatly impact its price. Townhouses with three or more bedrooms generally command higher prices, while those with additional features such as finished basements or attached garages are also valued more highly.
Newer townhouses or those in excellent condition tend to be priced higher. Properties that have been recently updated with modern fixtures, new appliances, or energy-efficient upgrades will also have a higher market value.
Extra features such as private outdoor spaces, larger garages, or luxury upgrades like granite countertops and hardwood flooring can significantly increase a townhouse’s value. Buyers should consider the long-term value these upgrades bring to the home.
The exact location within Evanston also matters. Homes closer to schools, parks, or transit options tend to be priced higher than those further away from amenities. Homes located in quieter cul-de-sacs or with desirable views might also command premium prices.
The price of a townhouse in Evanston typically ranges between $400,000 and $550,000, depending on the size, age, and features of the property. As of 2024, the real estate market in Calgary has seen steady growth, with Evanston being a key area for new developments. However, these prices can fluctuate based on market conditions, so it’s important to stay updated or consult with Diane Richardson Calgary realtor. Townhomes in Evanston
Compared to other nearby areas like Sage Hill or Kincora, Evanston offers competitive pricing for townhouses, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for value in Calgary's northwest.

Calgary's economy, particularly its ties to the energy sector, often plays a role in property values. Interest rates, employment rates, and economic outlook can all influence how much townhouses are worth in Evanston and across Calgary.
Upcoming infrastructure projects, new schools, or commercial developments in and around Evanston could have a positive impact on property values, making it a sound investment for buyers looking ahead.
In Evanston, townhouses are generally more affordable than detached homes, which can range from $550,000 to $800,000 or more. On the other hand, condos in the area tend to be less expensive, often priced between $250,000 and $350,000, but they typically offer less space than townhouses.

Your realtor will have insights into the current market trends, helping you make informed decisions on when to buy and how to approach negotiations.
