Surrounded by soaring peaks, turquoise waters, and world-famous alpine scenery, Lake Louise is one of the most iconic destinations in the Canadian Rockies. Nestled deep within Banff National Park, this small community is home to those who live, work, or operate businesses in the area — from hospitality and guiding professionals to Parks Canada staff and long-time residents dedicated to preserving this remarkable environment.
Because Lake Louise lies within the boundaries of a national park, real estate ownership and residency are governed by the federal government’s “Need to Reside” regulations. These rules require residents to demonstrate a direct connection to the park, such as employment, business ownership, or essential services within Banff National Park. As a result, there are no publicly available properties for sale or rent in Lake Louise.
For those seeking a mountain home surrounded by the same stunning scenery and recreational access — but with the freedom of fee-simple ownership — nearby Canmore and the surrounding hamlets of Harvie Heights, Deadman’s Flats, and Exshaw offer exceptional alternatives. These communities provide the same Rocky Mountain lifestyle, world-class amenities, and breathtaking views, all within a short drive of Banff National Park.
