A condo apartment is the most affordable way to own a home in Calgary. Over the last 12 months, Calgary condo apartments sold at a median price of $295,000, after a median of 38 days on the market, at about 97% of their asking price.
When you buy one, you own your unit and share everything else (the roof, the hallways, the elevators, the parkade and the grounds) with the other owners through the condominium corporation. Your monthly fee is your share of looking after it all.

About 4 in 10 Calgary condo listings are in the City Centre zone (the Beltline, Downtown, Mission, Lower Mount Royal and the communities around them). The rest are spread across the suburbs, where buildings are usually low-rise and newer.
The steps
- Get pre-approved. Your lender counts half of the monthly condo fee (sometimes all of it) as a monthly cost, so the fee affects how much you can borrow.
- Shortlist by total monthly cost, not price. A $280,000 condo with a $700 fee can cost more each month than a $310,000 one with a $420 fee. Each listing here shows an estimated monthly cost.
- See the homes, and the building. Walk the hallways, the parkade and the garbage room. They tell you how well the building is looked after.
- Make an offer with conditions. In Calgary that usually means financing, a home inspection and a review of the condo documents.
- Review the documents. This is where you find out about the reserve fund, upcoming repairs and the rules on pets, rentals and parking. See the condo documents checklist.
- Remove conditions and close. Your lawyer handles the title transfer and adjusts the monthly fee and property tax to your possession date.
What to check in an apartment that you wouldn’t in a house
- Parking. “Titled” parking is a separate piece of property you own; “assigned” parking belongs to the building and is assigned to the unit. Underground or heated parking is worth a lot in a Calgary winter. Check the listing’s Parking line and confirm it in the documents.
- Storage. Is there a storage locker, and is it titled, assigned or in the unit?
- Laundry. Most newer units have a washer and dryer in the suite; some older buildings have a shared laundry room.
- Which way it faces, and what’s next door. A south or west view gets the sun; a unit over the parkade ramp, garbage room or a busy street gets the noise. The map on each listing has an Up close button for this.
- Floor. Ground-floor units often have a patio but less privacy. Top-floor units have no one above them.
- Pets and renting. Many buildings limit the number, size or kind of pets, and some limit renting the unit out. The bylaws have the final word, not the listing.
- Elevators. In a building with one elevator, a breakdown or a move-in day affects everyone.
Costs to plan for besides the price
- Down payment: at least 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% of any amount above that, or 20% to avoid mortgage insurance.
- Legal fees and title insurance.
- A home inspection.
- A condo document review, if you hire someone to read the documents.
- Every month: the condo fee, property tax, the utilities your fee doesn’t cover, and contents insurance.
- Alberta has no land transfer tax, only Land Titles registration fees.
