about us

Mayfair Bel-Aire is one of Calgary’s best-kept secrets in terms of being a quiet, family-friendly urban oasis situated near the inner core of our fast-paced city.

The Mayfair Bel-Aire Community Association was registered under the Alberta Societies Act on November 13, 1958 which coincided with much of the original residential construction that spawned across a small piece of farmland that was once considered to be on the outskirts of town.

This legacy formed the foundation of a well-established and evolving community that is especially noted for its robust mixture of handsome mature trees and rich variation of tasteful home architectural designs that range from Mid-18th Century Colonial to Classic 1950s-60s to 21st Century Modern.

To preserve the character and value of our community, the original developer applied legally binding Restrictive Covenants that are registered on title to the majority of lots in Mayfair and Bel-Aire, which “run with the land” and are binding on any future owner of the property.

Since 1958, our quaint neighbourhood, measuring less than one square kilometre and located east of the Glenmore Reservoir and west of Elbow Drive, has matured into 314 dwellings that are “home sweet home” for just over 900 residents, including numerous original homesteaders enjoying their senior years, mature families with high energy teenagers and college-age kids and a growing number of young families.

As residents of Mayfair Bel-Aire, we enjoy stunning beautiful views of the the Elbow Valley and Rocky Mountains and direct access to numerous recreational and outdoor amenities, including the City of Calgary’s Elbow River Pathway, two modern playgrounds, two private tennis courts, an outdoor ice skating rink, outdoor fitness equipment and our unique Participatory Art Wall located at the newly renovated Mayfair Bel Aire Recreation Lane which features two giant chalkboards where we express and share our hopes and dreams with our neighbours.
