Chestermere Homes for Sale

Twenty minutes east of downtown Calgary sits one of Alberta’s few true lake communities. Chestermere grew up around its namesake lake — a 750-acre body of water that shapes everything about life here, from summer boating and beach days to skating and ice fishing in winter. What was once a quiet summer village is now a city of over 20,000 people, and one of the most sought-after markets in the Calgary region for families who want more home, newer construction, and a lifestyle Calgary itself can’t offer at the same price.

Below you’ll find every active MLS® listing in Chestermere, updated in real time. Keep reading for a breakdown of the city’s communities, what homes actually cost right now, and what to know before you buy or sell here.

Why People Move to Chestermere

The lake. Chestermere Lake is the centrepiece — public beaches, boat launches, and a genuine waterfront lifestyle that’s nearly impossible to find within an hour of Calgary. Lakefront and lake-access properties along East and West Lakeview Road are among the most distinctive real estate in the region.

Newer homes, more space. A large share of Chestermere’s housing stock was built in the last two decades, with active new construction continuing today. Buyers routinely find newer, larger detached homes here than a comparable budget buys inside Calgary.

The commute. Highway 1 runs straight into east Calgary — most residents reach the city in 20–30 minutes, with quick access to Stoney Trail, the airport, and East Hills shopping.

Room to grow. Chestermere is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the Calgary area, with new communities, schools, and commercial development arriving alongside the population.

Westmere — Central and established, close to shopping and the lake’s west side. A mix of family homes, townhomes, and executive properties around Marina Drive.

The Chestermere Market Right Now

New-construction communities like Dawson’s Landing, Chelsea, and Waterford keep steady inventory in the $500,000–$750,000 range, while Kinniburgh and the lake communities carry most of the upper end.

The broader Calgary-region trend applies here too: detached homes remain the most competitive segment, while buyers of townhomes and condos currently have more selection and negotiating room. For a current read on your specific situation — or a valuation of your Chestermere home — get in touch.
