The City of Calgary is divided into eight districts for the purposes of MLS® searches. The previous four zones A,B,C and D that formerly divided the city similar to Calgary’s four quadrants of NW, NE, SW and SE (these remain the same) have been replaced by districts.

In addition, some community name changes also took place. Some of the changes were as simple as Brentwood_Calg being switched to Brentwood; other changes being more significant such as Varsity Village, Varsity Acres, and Varsity Estates being amalgamated into one community called Varsity. Some communities ceased to exist altogether, such as Connaught and Victoria Park; the neighbourhoods were amalgamated into a new community known as Beltline.

The community name changes were meant to align the Calgary Real Estate Board and MLS® system with the community names used by the City of Calgary ,allowing for more symmetry, while the creation of the new “districts” was meant to allow for easier searching of larger areas as the city continues to grow.
