An established southeast Calgary community where cultural diversity, convenient connections, and scenic city views create a vibrant place to call home.
Forest Heights is a well-established community in southeast Calgary, surrounded by Marlborough, Penbrooke Meadows, Forest Lawn, Erin Woods, and Albert Park/Radisson Heights. Development began in 1959, and the area was annexed by The City of Calgary in 1961. Thanks to its rolling landscape and elevated location, parts of the neighbourhood also offer views of downtown Calgary and the Rocky Mountains.
One of Forest Heights’ strengths is its accessible location. With convenient connections to 17 Avenue S.E. and Memorial Drive, residents can easily reach downtown, surrounding communities, and destinations throughout Calgary. In addition, nearby transit, shopping, parks, pathways, and recreational amenities support everyday community life.
Forest Heights is also home to both public and Catholic schools, providing educational opportunities close to home. Along with its established housing and green spaces, these local amenities help create a welcoming neighbourhood for families, individuals, and long-time residents.
Above all, Forest Heights is known for its cultural diversity. Residents from many backgrounds contribute to the neighbourhood’s character, while an active Community Association helps strengthen connections through programs, events, recreation, and opportunities for neighbours to come together.
