2+ Bedrooms Homes for Sale in Canmore & MLS® Listings

Canmore Real Estate

Canmore sits in the Bow Valley in Alberta's Rocky Mountains, about an hour west of Calgary and just outside the eastern gate of Banff National Park. Buyers are drawn here for the obvious reason, which is the setting, but the town has grown into something more than a weekend destination. It supports a year-round community of around 15,000 residents, a mix of outdoor professionals, remote workers, retirees, and families who've chosen mountain living over the city. The proximity to Banff without the national park restrictions on property ownership is a big part of the appeal.

The town is wrapped by the Three Sisters peaks and the Rundle range, and the trail networks reflect that. The Nordic Centre, built for the 1988 Winter Olympics, still draws cross-country skiers and mountain bikers. Quarry Lake is the local swimming and off-leash spot in summer. The downtown along Main Street has independent restaurants, gear shops, and the Canmore Nordic Centre feeds a serious athletic culture. Employment leans heavily on tourism, hospitality, and construction, though the remote-work population has grown noticeably, and healthcare and the arts both have a footing here through the Canmore General Hospital and arts venues like artsPlace.

Canmore's housing stock runs newer than most Alberta towns, with a lot of development from the 1990s onward as the town shifted from its coal-mining roots toward tourism and recreation. Three Sisters Mountain Village and Spring Creek are the more recent master-planned areas, heavy on condos and townhomes. Older neighbourhoods like South Canmore and the areas near downtown hold the town's original single-family homes, many now renovated and commanding a premium for their walkability. Prices here sit well above the Alberta average, and the market includes a meaningful share of recreational and second-home buyers.

REW's Canmore MLS® listings are updated regularly, so you're looking at what's actually available right now. You can filter by property type, price range, and bedroom count to narrow things down quickly. Common property types in Canmore include:

• Detached houses: Single-family homes in Canmore are limited in supply and priced accordingly, with the most sought-after stock in South Canmore and established streets close to downtown. Newer detached homes turn up in Three Sisters and Silvertip, often with mountain views built into the lot.

• Townhouses: Townhomes make up a large part of the Canmore market and are common in Spring Creek and Three Sisters, where newer developments cater to both full-time residents and recreational owners. They're often the more attainable way into the area for buyers who want more space than a condo.

• Condos and apartments: Condos are the most active segment in Canmore, and the pool includes everything from tourist-zoned units that can be short-term rented to residential-only buildings. Pay close attention to the zoning and any rental restrictions, because they vary building to building and affect how you can use the property.

• Duplexes: Duplexes and half-duplexes offer a middle ground between a condo and a full detached home, with some found in the older core and others in newer phases of Three Sisters. They tend to appeal to buyers who want a bit of yard and no shared building amenities to pay for.
