Welcome to Mayfair

The Mayfair real estate market consists almost entirely of detached luxury homes. Many original homes were built during the late 1950s and 1960s, with an increasing number being transformed into modern custom residences.

• Luxury executive homes
• Renovated mid-century properties
• Contemporary custom-built homes
• Large private lots
• Beautifully landscaped yards
• Multi-million-dollar estate properties

One of the features that makes Mayfair so desirable is the generous lot sizes. Many homes sit on lots significantly larger than those found in newer communities, providing exceptional privacy and outdoor living space.

Because the neighbourhood is small and turnover is limited, available listings are often in high demand.

Living in Mayfair means enjoying one of Calgary's most peaceful and picturesque settings.

The nearby Glenmore Reservoir provides year-round recreation including walking, cycling, sailing, rowing, kayaking, and cross-country skiing. Scenic pathways connect residents to kilometres of waterfront trails, making it easy to stay active while enjoying some of Calgary's most beautiful natural scenery.

Residents also appreciate the neighbourhood's close proximity to the prestigious Calgary Golf & Country Club, one of Canada's oldest and most respected private golf clubs as well as the Earl Grey Golf Club. 

Although Mayfair itself is purely residential, residents are only minutes away from excellent shopping and restaurants.

Whether you're running errands or enjoying an evening out, everything is conveniently close.

Outdoor enthusiasts have no shortage of options nearby.
