Varsity covers 676 gross hectares (1671 gross acres) making it the largest community in Calgary. This extensive suburb is located in the northwest sector of the city, south of Crowchild Trail and east of Sarcee Trail. The collegiate name of this community is a result of its location adjacent to the University of Calgary. In addition, the triangular-shaped portion east of 37 Street N.W. is designated as a university research area. There is an abundance of local open space within Varsity. There is also easy access to the pathway system which can take one north to Nose Hill or south to the Bow River.
