Medicine Hat is a city of 63,271 people (2021 census) in southeast Alberta, on the South Saskatchewan River west of the Saskatchewan border. It is the sunniest place in Canada according to Environment and Climate Change Canada, with a semi-arid climate of warm, dry summers and winters often eased by Chinook winds.
Known as "The Gas City" for the natural gas fields beneath it, Medicine Hat grew as an industrial and railway town. Today it sits on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) at the eastern end of the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3), with the Town of Redcliff adjoining it to the northwest and Medicine Hat College in the city.
The South Saskatchewan River valley, with Seven Persons Creek and Ross Creek, cuts steep valleys and coulees through the city, and many neighbourhoods sit on the ridges above them. Crescent Heights, built mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, runs along the ridge on the north side of the river. South of the Trans-Canada Highway, South Ridge dates from the late 1970s, Saamis Heights has walkout view lots above the Seven Persons Creek valley, and South Vista Heights is one of the newer suburban communities.

Since January 1, 2023, the federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act has barred most non-Canadians from buying residential property, with exceptions such as permanent residents and some work-permit holders. The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
