About Drumheller, Alberta Real Estate

In Drumheller, the real estate landscape boasts an abundance of single detached homes alongside some quaint small to medium sized apartment buildings, creating a harmonious tapestry of residential living. The town is renowned for its dinosaurs but also it’s a rich history in coal mining , leading to many pre 1950’s, two-bedroom “minor” homes. After mining faded, the federally built & maintained penitentiary made way for correctional workers & for generously sized post 1960s four-bedroom bungalows, embodying a sense of comfort and versatility. A strong sense of community permeates the atmosphere, with approximately 70% of dwellings proudly owned by residents, while the remainder are leased. History resonates through the streets, with roughly one third of homes standing as proud relics from the vibrant heyday when coal mining was in full force.  The small minor homes are complemented by a mix of pre-1960 and 1980s constructions, each contributing to the town’s timeless charm.
