Cradled between towering peaks and the winding Bow River, Canmore is a vibrant mountain town where adventure and refinement meet. Located just outside Banff National Park, Canmore is home to a thriving year-round community of about 15,000 full-time residents and 6,000 seasonal homeowners — athletes, artisans, professionals, and families who share a deep appreciation for the mountain lifestyle.
Once a historic coal-mining town founded in 1884, Canmore has evolved into one of Canada’s most desirable mountain destinations. The transformation began after the 1988 Winter Olympics, when the Canmore Nordic Centre hosted cross-country and biathlon events. Today, the town is a hub for world-class recreation, offering skiing, hiking, biking, and cultural events year-round, all framed by the iconic Three Sisters peaks.
Canmore’s real estate landscape is as diverse as its residents. Buyers will find luxury estate homes, modern townhomes, and mountain-inspired condominiums throughout communities such as Spring Creek Mountain Village, Three Sisters Mountain Village, and Silvertip Resort. Established neighbourhoods like Cougar Creek, Larch, The Homesteads, and Lions Park offer family-friendly living, while Prospect Heights, Cairns on the Bow, and South Canmore showcase elegant riverfront properties. For those seeking privacy and seclusion, Rundleview, Harvie Heights, Lac Des Arcs, and Quarry Pines provide serene retreats amid forest and mountain views.
Outdoor recreation is woven into daily life. Residents enjoy three golf courses within town — Silvertip Resort, Canmore Golf Club, and Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club — with Kananaskis, Banff Springs, and Brewster’s Kananaskis Ranch nearby. In winter, skiers and snowboarders are just minutes from Nakiska, Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise.
Canmore’s proximity to Calgary (only an hour away) makes it a rare blend of wilderness and connectivity. With high-speed internet, access to global air travel, and a thriving professional community, Canmore has become a haven for those who work remotely yet refuse to compromise on lifestyle.
Whether you’re seeking a permanent home, a mountain retreat, or an investment opportunity, Christopher Vincent and Laura Wright are always available to share their insight into this remarkable community — and to help you find your place in the heart of the Rockies.
