About High River, AB

Discover what makes High River such a great place to live and explore.

High River, AB is a friendly small-town community just south of Calgary, known for its walkable centre, local shops and cafés, and easy access to bigger-city services when you need them. Many people appreciate the relaxed pace, the mix of established streets and newer areas, and the way the Highwood River and nearby pathways add everyday outdoors time. Commutes are straightforward via Highway 2A or Highway 2, and it’s common to run errands in nearby Okotoks while still coming home to a quieter setting.

Living options range from single-family homes with yards to townhomes, condos, and a variety of rentals, with some acreage-style living available on the outskirts. Families and active residents often gravitate toward the parks, sports fields, and local recreation facilities, along with schools, the library, and community programming. With clear skies and brisk mornings that give way to comfortable afternoons, it’s easy to see why residents spend time outside, whether it’s walking the trails, meeting friends downtown, or heading out for a quick drive into the foothills.
