Lethbridge is located in Alberta between Calgary and the Canada-United States border. This growing city is Southern Alberta's commercial, educational, and financial hub. Home to over 98,000 residents, Lethbridge has grown steadily over the last several years as more and more Canadians choose to set down roots in Alberta.

Traditionally the home of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), they called the area Sikoohkoyoki, meaning black rock, because of the coal they found.The first European settlement, Fort Whoop-Up, was a popular whisky trading post. Eventually becoming a small mining town called Coalbanks, the city was renamed Lethbridge in 1885 after William Lethbridge, the first president of the North Western Coal and Navigation Company. As oil and gas became more prominent, the coal mining industry died away, with the last local coal mine closing in 1957.

It’s a common misconception that Lethbridge is named for the Lethbridge Viaduct. Commonly known as the High Level Bridge, the Lethbridge viaduct was completed in 1909 and is still the world’s longest and highest trestle bridge. Numerous trains cross the bridge every day, and you can view it from several spots in the city, including the Helen Schuler Nature Centre and the Galt Museum and Archives trails.

Lethbridge's economy has historically been based on agriculture. However, it has diversified and offers jobs in many different sectors. The city is home to several manufacturing companies, which employ just over 5% of the workforce. Manufacturing areas include agricultural equipment, food and beverages, manufactured housing, and construction materials.

In addition, healthcare is a major employer in Lethbridge. The Chinook Regional Hospital offers many healthcare services, including an emergency department, medical subspecialties, and the Jack Ady Cancer Centre.

Another top employer is the University of Lethbridge, a public research university that has been named as one of Canada’s top universities for undergraduate studies and employs over 2,000 Lethbrigians.

Located in Mountain Time (GMT -6), Lethbridge is known as a sunny, albeit windy, city, earning it the nickname “The Windy City”. Average temperatures in Lethbridge vary widely throughout the year. Thanks to the city’s high elevation and proximity to the Rocky Mountains, summers in Lethbridge are cooler than other locations in the Prairies, with the daily highs typically reaching 20 to 26 degrees Celsius in July and August. In the winter months, expect cold temperatures and snow. However, cold snaps are frequently broken by the warm and moist Chinook winds from the Pacific, which melt snow and ice.

You may be wondering if it’s expensive to live in Lethbridge. According to the Alberta Living Wage Network, the living wage in Lethbridge is $20.00 per hour. This living wage is lower than in other cities in Alberta. For example, the living wage in nearby Calgary is $24.45.

Overall, Lethbridge offers a reasonable cost of living, a moderate climate, and abundant things to do, all close to Calgary and the Rocky Mountains. These features make Lethbridge an attractive place to live, work and play. The city offers a wide range of housing options for those looking to buy a home in Lethbridge. You can find budget-friendly condos, newly built townhouses, and plenty of detached homes with yard space.

Neighbourhoods

While Lethbridge is a small city, it is divided into three distinct geographical areas: North, South, and West Lethbridge. Each area features numerous neighbourhoods, amenities, and advantages.

For those looking to live near amenities, consider buying a home in one of the neighbourhoods within South Lethbridge. South Lethbridge is the city's commercial heart and includes the downtown area, where you'll find restaurants, museums, and plenty of local businesses. South Lethbridge is generally more expensive than North or West Lethbridge.

Downtown is an excellent choice if you are looking for a Lethbridge condo within walking distance of popular local restaurants and businesses. Nearby London Road is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in South Lethbridge, primarily made up of single-family homes built in the early 1900s.

Glendale is another popular neighbourhood in South Lethbridge. While this area once contained some of the largest lots in the city, many have been subdivided into smaller lots. However, the neighbourhood offers detached homes, schools, and parks within commuting distance of downtown and exhibition park.

For some of the most expensive homes in Lethbridge, check out Southridge, where most properties are on lots of one acre or more. In addition, Arbour Ridge offers beautiful homes on larger lots.

Alternatively, North Lethbridge offers some of the least expensive homes in Lethbridge. Staffordville, once an independent village, will appeal to those looking to live on a quiet street close to nature. The majority of houses are single detached homes built before the 1960s and in the 1980s.

Winston Churchill is a popular choice for those looking to live close to parks, as there are numerous public green spaces throughout the community. In addition, a high school, public pool, and other local businesses are centrally located.

If you’re searching for a Lethbridge townhouse, the new development Blackwolf offers a friendly community close to parks and trails.

Also known as The Westside, West Lethbridge is separated from North and South Lethbridge by the Oldman River. In the 1970s, the University of Lethbridge moved to the Westside, and the bulk of the city's growth since the early 1990s has been on the Westside. Thanks to the university and new development, its population is younger than that of North and South Lethbridge.

If you're searching for a newly built single-family home on the Westside, several communities, including Garry Station, The Crossings, and Copperwood, have new builds and others in development or construction.

For those looking to live closest to the University, Varsity Village is a good choice. Many of the homes in this area were built in the 1970s, and the community is easy to navigate by bike, thanks to bike lanes and cycling pathways.

To help start your property search, check out our neighbourhood rankings. Using the latest data, all communities are ranked based on how quickly houses sell, the sale price, and how many listings are currently available.
