Where Northern Hills Sits — and Who Lives There

The Northern Hills cluster sits between Stoney Trail (north), 96 Avenue NE (south), Centre Street North (west), and Deerfoot Trail (east). Country Hills Boulevard runs east-west through the centre as the main retail corridor. Each sub-community has its own character: Coventry (1990s family), Country Hills (1990s-2000s golf-adjacent), Harvest Hills (2000s newer), Panorama Hills east (overlap with the NW Panorama Hills proper).

Median household age 39. Median household income: ~$98K. Settled European-Canadian families alongside major Asian (Chinese, Korean, Filipino) + South Asian + Eastern European newcomer waves. The Country Hills Boulevard corridor + T&T Supermarket + Save-On-Foods + Cineplex VIP make this one of NE's most retail-walkable family belts.
