North Haven Upper started development in 1977, which was previously cattle grazing ranch land. It's bordered by Nose Hill Park and 14 Street to the west, John Laurie Boulevard to the south, and Egert's Park on the north/east. The community was split by a bus trap into North Haven and North Haven Upper.
Bordering Nose Hill Park, daily outdoor activities are within reach, such as enjoying the Calgary Winter Club, the kilometres of nature pathways, and the Stone Maze. Parks within the community include North Haven Off-Leash Dog Park, North Haven Green Park, and Egert's Park. Nearby amenities include Pelican Pier - Seafood Restaurant & Fish Market, Salsita Mexican Food Market, M&M Food Market, and Safeway Thorncliffe.
Schools serving the area include North Haven Elementary, Colonel Irvine Junior High School, and John G. Diefenbaker Senior High School.
