Calgary communities, explained honestly

Alpine Park

A Dream Unlimited community on the southwest Ring Road, and genuinely unfinished: the homes that sold here over the past year carry a median build year of 2025, and most Village Centre retail was still labelled as opening in 2026. Sixty-eight sales, 63% of them detached, from $317,000 to $1,340,000.

$317,000 to $1,340,000

Altadore

Inner-city SW neighbourhood bordered by River Park and Marda Loop, with a mix of post-war bungalows, new detached infills, and attached townhomes on quiet, walkable streets.

$243,250 to $3,999,900

Aspen Woods

Westside master-planned community built from the late 1990s onward, anchored by a private-school corridor, Aspen Landing retail, and mountain access via Stoney Trail.

$205,500 to $3,888,000

Bankview

Dense, eclectic inner-southwest community on the hill below Marda Loop, with downtown views, walkable apartment and townhouse entry points, and a growing layer of infill detached and semi-detached homes. Of 97 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 53 were apartments, at a $208,000 median.

$110,000 to $1,640,000

Bayview

Small SW Calgary luxury enclave on the south shore of Glenmore Reservoir, with large-lot 1968-1978 detached houses along Bay View Drive and its cul-de-sacs, and the Palliser-Bayview-Pumphill school catchment running from Nellie McClung through John Ware to Henry Wise Wood High School.

$885,000 to $3,950,000

Belmont

A new far-south community south of Silverado and directly east of Yorkville, roughly a third built out and still under construction, offering the deepest price ladder of the area's new builds: apartments and townhomes at the entry, semi-detached and detached above, with a fieldhouse, library, and town-centre retail all under construction for 2027.

$240,000 to $890,000

Braeside

Bungalow-heavy SW community built from the mid-1960s through the 1970s, walkable to Southland Leisure Centre and five minutes from Rockyview General Hospital, with detached, Brae Glen townhouses, and Braeglen Close apartments.

$185,000 to $1,600,000

Bridlewood

Settled 1990s and 2000s family community in deep SW Calgary, CBE-designated to Centennial High School (unlike Evergreen, Silverado, and Legacy, which feed Dr. E.P. Scarlett), with the Red Line CTrain southern terminus on its eastern doorstep, a 55-plus villa pocket at Bridle Estates, and detached, semi, townhouse, and apartment stock under one community name.

$201,000 to $875,000

Britannia

Prestige inner-SW Calgary community on the bluff above the Elbow River, anchored by Britannia Plaza and Sunterra Market, with a bifurcated housing mix of original 1950s mid-century bungalows on 70-foot lots and a deep wave of 2000s-2020s custom estate rebuilds.

$320,000 to $5,000,000

Canyon Meadows

Established SW community built 1965-1980 with the Red Line LRT station on its eastern edge, the designated public senior high inside the community, and a citywide Spanish Bilingual program running K-9 across two in-community schools.

$160,000 to $2,000,000

Cedarbrae

Outer SW community established in 1973 between Southland Drive and Anderson Road, with a housing mix that runs from bungalows and two-storeys through townhouses, half-duplexes, and a small apartment market. Of its 90 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026, 37 were detached, 26 row and townhouse, 21 semi-detached and six apartments.

$287,500 to $855,000

Christie Park

A west-side community with Sirocco Station on the Blue Line inside its boundary and no CBE school inside it at all. Christie Park recorded 34 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $782,500, and that figure describes nobody: detached houses ran a median of $1,202,500 while row and townhouse product ran $449,400, and the two segments did not overlap at any price.

$416,000 to $1,625,000

Coach Hill

Established west-side community from 1979 near the Blue Line's 69 Street and Sirocco stations, and one of the most genuinely split markets in the southwest. Row and townhouse product is 43% of sales at a $405,000 median while detached homes run a $790,000 median, so the blended number describes neither buyer.

$178,000 to $1,250,000

Cougar Ridge

Westside SW community built mostly 2001-2014 along the Paskapoo Slopes ridge, sharing the West Springs/West Ridge school pathway but designated to Bowness High, with quick Stoney Trail mountain access and a townhouse layer along Cougar Ridge Drive.

$335,000 to $1,555,000

Currie Barracks

Master-planned SW Calgary community on former military base lands, built almost entirely post-2010, with a deliberate mix of detached homes, row/townhouses, and mid-rise apartments steps from Mount Royal University.

$207,000 to $2,500,000

Discovery Ridge

Secluded SW community built 2000-2008, anchored by Griffith Woods Park and the Elbow River, with detached family homes, the Wedgewoods apartments, and fast Stoney Trail mountain access.

$290,000 to $2,090,000

Evergreen

Two-era family community in deep SW Calgary where the established Evergreen Estates section backs directly onto Fish Creek Provincial Park along the escarpment, paired with a newer 2000s-built southern half. Over the twelve months to August 2026, its 296 sales ran from $155,000 to $2,150,000, with detached houses at a median of $700,000. Evergreen feeds Dr. E.P. Scarlett, not Centennial, with Early and Late French Immersion at the high-school level.

$155,000 to $2,150,000

Garrison Green

Master-planned SW Calgary community on former military lands, developed from 2003, with detached homes, townhouses, and a notable concrete apartment complex steps from Mount Royal University.

$220,000 to $1,753,486

Glamorgan

Established SW community anchored by Mount Royal University, with a dense concentration of 1950s-60s bungalows, extensive townhouse inventory, and walkable access to Glamorgan Bakery and Grafton Park.

$155,000 to $1,389,000

Glenbrook

Under-the-radar inner-SW community of mid-century bungalows next to Glendale, Glamorgan, and Killarney, now seeing steady infill, with Westhills and Signal Hill shopping a short drive west.

$215,000 to $1,500,000

Glendale

Post-war SW community of tidy bungalows near Westbrook LRT, with cul-de-sac streets, Turtle Hill, and quick access to 17 Avenue and Mount Royal University.

$367,500 to $2,260,000

Haysboro

Established reservoir-side community of mid-century bungalows between the Glenmore Reservoir and Macleod Trail, with a large transit-oriented condo market along its eastern edge and sales split almost evenly between apartments and detached houses.

$155,000 to $1,100,000

Kelvin Grove

Quiet, established prestige pocket of large mature lots beside the Rockyview General Hospital.

$235,000 to $2,490,000

Killarney

Inner-city SW community with a tight grid of mature streets, character bungalows, and an active infill market, steps from 17 Ave SW and Westbrook LRT.

$183,000 to $1,625,000

Kingsland

Transit-connected mid-century community next to Chinook Centre and the Chinook CTrain, with original bungalows, an active infill-duplex market, and some of the easiest shopping and commuting access in the southwest.

$102,000 to $956,000

Lakeview

Established 1960s-70s SW community on the Glenmore Reservoir, where original bungalows and newer custom infills share tree-lined streets. Of 86 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 70 were detached, at a $975,000 median.

$331,000 to $4,350,000

Lincoln Park

A compact, condo-heavy pocket in SW Calgary next to Mount Royal University, built on former CFB Calgary airfield lands. All 52 of its residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 were apartments, at a median of $272,250.

$196,000 to $365,000

Marda Loop

Marda Loop is an inner-city SW district of South Calgary, mixing character homes, semi-detached infills, and a walkable commercial strip steps from parks.

$155,000 to $2,440,000

Millrise

LRT-served deep-south community established in 1982 below Fish Creek Provincial Park, split between a 1980s and 1990s detached family core and a large transit-oriented apartment market clustered around the Fish Creek-Lacombe station, with apartment sales close behind detached sales over the twelve months to August 2026.

$191,000 to $792,500

North Glenmore Park

Inner-city SW community immediately north of the Glenmore Reservoir, with 1950s-60s bungalows, growing infill, reservoir pathway access, and walkability to Marda Loop.

$580,000 to $2,850,000

Oakridge

Established 1970s SW community on the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir, with bungalow and split-level family homes, the Estates two-storey tier on the north side, and direct South Glenmore Park access.

$220,000 to $1,750,000

Established 1960s-70s SW community on the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir between Oakridge and 19 Street SW, with bungalow and split-level detached and the John Ware to Henry Wise Wood school pathway.

$185,000 to $1,147,500

Patterson

Westside SW community on the upper Paskapoo plateau, built mostly 1981-2003 with a newer Patina/Patterson Boulevard infill layer, with downtown view lots, fast Stoney Trail and Highway 1 access, and the Olympic Heights to Vincent Massey to Bowness HS school pathway.

$210,000 to $2,264,000

Pine Creek

A new far-south community west of Legacy and south of Silverado, roughly 42% built out and still under construction, and the most detached-led of the area's new builds: about 63% of sales were detached, no apartments traded, and the detached band runs from below its $749,950 median up to estate homes past $1.6 million on the Creekstone Hill phase.

$429,000 to $1,625,000

Pump Hill

Small SW Calgary luxury enclave on the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir beside Palliser and Bayview, built in two waves from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s, with large lots, mature trees, greenspace-edge inventory, and the same John Ware to Henry Wise Wood school pathway as Palliser.

$677,500 to $2,600,000

Richmond

Inner-southwest infill community west of Marda Loop, where teardown bungalows have given way to modern semi-detached and detached homes, walkable to 17th Avenue and minutes from downtown.

$186,500 to $2,200,000

Rosscarrock

An inner-west community the City of Calgary classes as 1950s, where the homes that changed hands last year were far newer than that. Half duplexes were the single largest product type at 19 of the 43 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026, ahead of detached houses at 14. The blended median was $845,000, Westbrook Station sits inside the boundary on the Blue Line, and the CBE elementary designation is not the same at every Rosscarrock address.

$135,000 to $1,099,900

Rutland Park

Compact mid-century SW community near Mount Royal University, with a tight grid of 1950s bungalows, growing semi-detached infill, and a townhouse complex at the north end.

$329,000 to $2,650,000

Shaganappi

An inner-west community with the Bow River along its north and east sides, Shaganappi Point Station inside it on the Blue Line, and a golf course the City of Calgary owns and operates. Shaganappi recorded 71 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $760,000, a figure that lands between three separate price tiers: apartments at a median of $210,000, row and townhouse product at $697,500 and detached houses at $1,097,500. Detached was 31.0% of the market, and the CBE elementary designation is not the same at every address.

$125,000 to $2,025,000

Shawnessy

Accessible, full-spectrum deep-south community built on Samuel Shaw's agricultural heritage, with an in-community LRT station, a regional town centre on its doorstep, and a true price ladder from first condos to family detached homes.

$200,000 to $801,000

Signal Hill

Suburban SW community on a ridge west of the city, with 1990s-2000s family detached homes, prominent mountain views, and a significant adult-living apartment presence at The Sierras.

$205,000 to $1,725,000

Silverado

Far-south community where construction began in 2005, built 75% single-detached against the Spruce Meadows equestrian lands, with a price ladder from a $683,000 typical detached price down through semi-detached, row and townhouse and a small apartment group, and no LRT station of its own.

$262,500 to $1,995,000

Somerset

Walk-to-the-train deep SW Calgary community built mid-1990s to early 2000s, with the Somerset-Bridlewood Red Line southern terminus and its 913-stall park-and-ride on its edge, a CBE feed to Centennial High, and a small annual Residents Association fee that funds the Somerset Waterpark.

$170,000 to $834,250

Southwood

Established 1959 inner-south community on the Macleod Trail corridor with two Red Line LRT stations inside its own boundaries, a 1960s and 1970s detached family core at a $634,375 median, and homes selling in a brisk 24 days at the median.

$184,000 to $901,000

Springbank Hill

Westside SW community built mostly 2000-2018 along the upper Paskapoo plateau, with Aspen Landing and Westside Recreation Centre on the doorstep, fast Stoney Trail mountain access, and the Griffith Woods K-9 to Ernest Manning school pathway shared with Discovery Ridge.

$210,000 to $3,761,500

Spruce Cliff

Southwest riverside community along the Bow above Bow Trail, pairing mid-century bungalows and modern infills with a large pocket of apartment buildings, the river and Shaganappi pathways, and a West LRT station for a fast downtown commute.

$172,500 to $1,615,000

Strathcona Park

Established west-side SW community built mostly 1979-1989 between Aspen Woods and Discovery Ridge, with detached two-storeys and splits, two on-site CBE schools, and quick Stoney Trail mountain access.

$380,000 to $1,650,000

West Springs

SW Calgary westside community built mostly 2000-2015, adjacent to Aspen Woods, anchored by West 85th retail and the 69 Street LRT, with a mix of detached family homes, new townhouse clusters, and a growing mid-rise condo district along Broadcast Avenue.

$305,000 to $2,597,000

Westgate

Small established inner-SW community of late-1950s bungalows with rare no-transfer Blue Line LRT access and Edworthy Park parkland just to the north.

$192,000 to $1,235,000

Wildwood

Established SW community on the edge of Edworthy Park, with post-war bungalows on large lots, a strong sense of neighbourhood identity, and quick access to the Bow River pathway network.

$442,500 to $2,565,000

Woodbine

Self-contained SW community built 1979-1990 against Fish Creek Provincial Park to the south and Tsuut'ina Trail to the west, anchored by Woodbine Square mall and 1980s detached family homes.

$315,000 to $1,750,000

Woodlands

Self-contained SW community built from 1976 against Fish Creek Provincial Park, home to the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, with mature detached homes and a large townhouse market.

$187,500 to $1,600,000

Yorkville

A new far-south community south of Silverado and directly west of Belmont across Sheriff King Street, still under construction and the most uniform of the area's new builds: every sale over the past year was ground-oriented, no apartments traded, and detached, row, and semi-detached homes sit inside a tight band from $450,000 to $921,500.

$450,000 to $921,500

Arbour Lake

Northwest Calgary's lake community, where access to the lake is an Encumbrance registered against the Certificate of Land Title rather than a membership anyone joins, and where the annual amount is set by how close the lot sits to the water. Arbour Lake recorded 133 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $610,000, with detached houses at a median of $685,465 across 80 sales and apartments at $324,273 across 36. The homes that changed hands carried a median build year of 1999.

$200,000 to $1,525,000

Beddington Heights

NW and NE Calgary

A north Calgary community built almost entirely between 1977 and 1983. It sits on both sides of Centre Street, so about three quarters of its addresses are NW and a quarter are NE. Of 157 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 89 were detached at a typical $589,000 and 42 were semi-detached at a typical $448,500. The half-duplexes sit on their own lots with no condo corporation, most of the townhouses are condominiums, and the community has no residents or homeowners association fee.

$247,500 to $757,000

Bowness

A former town on the inside bend of the Bow River in NW Calgary, most of which became part of the city in 1964, with Bowness Park at its west end and a main street on Bowness Road. Of 188 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 93 were detached houses at a typical $625,000. The 51 semi-detached homes sold for more, a typical $734,000, and the typical one was built in 2016. Every designated school from kindergarten to grade 12 is inside the community, apart from the Catholic senior high. There is no residents association or homeowners association fee, and transit is by bus.

$117,000 to $3,400,000

Brentwood

Brentwood is two housing markets inside one NW Calgary boundary: 1960s detached houses on streets that mostly start with B, and 2010s condominium towers beside Brentwood Station. In the twelve months to August 2026, 66 houses sold at a typical $723,000 and 29 apartments at a typical $298,000. A high school, a library, a City pool and the arena the community association runs share one block in the middle, and Nose Hill Park is across John Laurie Boulevard.

$230,000 to $1,565,000

Citadel

A northwest community inside the curve of Stoney Trail, built out from 1991 to 2003. In the twelve months to August 2026, 133 homes sold at a typical $635,000, detached houses at $665,000, and half sold within 22 days. Owners pay no residents or homeowners association fee, and extra landscaping comes from a City special tax of $68.96 a year on the property tax bill. Citadel Green and Citadel Grove, east of Sarcee Trail, follow a different Catholic school pathway.

$185,000 to $1,008,000

Country Hills

A 1990s NW Calgary community bounded by Country Hills Boulevard, Harvest Hills Boulevard and Beddington Trail, with much of the private Country Hills Golf Club inside it. Of 52 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 23 were detached houses at a typical $550,000, 15 were townhouses at $389,500 and 11 were apartments at $335,000. The southbound MAX Green platforms are on its east edge, no school building or hall stands inside, and there is no residents association or homeowners association fee.

$250,000 to $1,200,000

Dalhousie

A NW Calgary community built mostly between 1965 and 1981, inside Crowchild Trail, Shaganappi Trail, John Laurie Boulevard and Sarcee Trail, with the bus loop and park and ride of Dalhousie Station on its Crowchild edge. Of 132 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 62 were detached houses at a typical $712,700 and 42 were apartments at a typical $213,000. The public elementary and junior high schools are inside Dalhousie, and the community association has a free membership for residents and a paid Activity membership for anyone joining the programmes that require it.

$175,000 to $1,999,999

Edgemont

A northwest community of the 1980s and 1990s, built around a City ravine network. Edgemont recorded 163 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a typical price of $735,000: 120 detached at $809,250, 18 apartments at $217,500, 13 row and townhouse homes at $560,000 and 12 semi-detached at $499,000. There is no residents association or homeowners association fee. Every residential property pays $86.52 a year for 2026 toward enhanced landscaping. It is a City special tax, collected with property tax, and it applies whether or not the owner joins the voluntary community association that runs the program. Condo fees are a separate charge.

$179,888 to $2,077,500

Evanston

A northern community where the homes that sold carry a median build year of 2013 and where the community fee question has a short answer. Of 265 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 175 were detached at a $675,000 median, 26 semi-detached at $573,000 and 58 row and townhouse at $397,000. There is no residents association: the Evanston-Creekside Community Association is a voluntary society at $30 a household, and the City's 2026 special tax bylaw does not list Evanston. September 2026 is also the month the public school ladder changed shape, with Evanston Heights open for grades 4 to 8, Kenneth D. Taylor now ending at grade 3, and grade 9 designated to Brentwood for this one school year.

$205,000 to $1,088,000

Hamptons

Home to the members-only Hamptons Golf Club, Hamptons is a 1990s NW Calgary community between Country Hills Boulevard and Stoney Trail. Detached houses made up 61 of its 76 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, at a typical $924,000. Almost every home belongs to the Hamptons Homeowners Association, whose mandatory annual fee is secured by an encumbrance on title. The newer houses on former golf course land are left out of it.

$464,000 to $1,597,000

Hawkwood

A 1980s NW Calgary community of mostly detached houses between Country Hills Boulevard and John Laurie Boulevard. Of 86 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 69 were detached at a typical $730,000. Most of Hawkwood pays for enhanced landscaping through a City special tax, $79.94 for 2026, charged with the property tax. The Uplands, 198 homes on Hawkside Close, Hawkside Mews and Hawkside Road, is left out of that tax and has a homeowners association instead, with its own pool and dues of $110.00 plus GST a month.

$252,800 to $1,176,500

Hidden Valley

A north Calgary community where the City's district line does more work than the street name. Hidden Valley recorded 129 residential sales over the twelve months ending August 31, 2026, at a blended median of $590,000, with 107 detached sales at a median of $604,000 and a median 21 days on market across the community. There is no known residents association or encumbrance fee anywhere in the City's Hidden Valley district. The pocket north of Beddington Trail that the City says is commonly known as Hanson Ranch is the part to read carefully: 73 of its Hidden Creek addresses sit inside the City's Panorama Hills district and inside the City's maintenance area for the Panorama Hills residents association, and only the title of a specific address says whether that association's fee is registered on it.

$360,000 to $1,220,000

Huntington Hills

NW and NE Calgary

A north Calgary community built mostly between 1967 and 1976, on both sides of Centre Street. A little over half of its addresses are NE and the rest are NW. Of 131 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 83 were detached at a typical $580,000, 27 were townhouses at a typical $322,500 and 10 were apartments at a typical $329,000. A City pool and arena, a library and the community association's arena and curling rink are inside it, and it has no residents or homeowners association fee.

$135,000 to $1,290,000

Kincora

A 2000s NW Calgary community between Stoney Trail and Symons Valley Parkway, cut through by ravines, with no shops inside. Of 87 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 41 were detached houses at a typical $710,000 and 30 were apartments at a typical $267,750. The southern part of Kincora pays a mandatory residents association fee, the community association is optional and has no hall, and no school building stands in the community.

$197,000 to $950,000

MacEwan Glen

A small NW Calgary community of mostly detached 1980s and early 1990s houses with Nose Hill Park for its south edge, where local streets and the backs of house lots meet the park with no major road between. There were 69 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 61 of them detached houses that sold at a typical $630,000, and half of all homes sold within 18 days. No school building is inside the community, the optional community association is shared with Sandstone Valley, and MacEwan Glen is not on the City special tax that Edgemont owners pay for enhanced landscaping.

$372,000 to $900,000

Nolan Hill

A 2010s NW Calgary community inside four arterial roads: Sarcee Trail NW, Symons Valley Parkway NW, Shaganappi Trail NW and 144 Avenue NW. Of 119 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 72 were detached houses at a typical $680,250 and 47 were townhouses at a typical $449,000. The Nolan Hill Residents Association charges a yearly fee that it says is mandatory and secured on every owner's title. A Sobeys anchors the shopping centre in the south-east, and no school is open inside the community yet.

$385,000 to $992,000

Panorama Hills

A north Calgary community that is two communities on title. Panorama Hills recorded 286 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026, with detached houses at a median of $730,000 across 163 sales, apartments at $258,000 across 57 and row homes at $399,000 across 45. North of the regional pathway that crosses the district, titles carry the Panorama Hills RA Ltd. encumbrance, quoted by the association at $250 plus GST for a single-family title and $200 plus GST for a multi-family one. South of it, Panorama Hills Estates has a separate association and a separate encumbrance, which its site puts at $100 plus GST, and Phase 1A inside the Estates carries no encumbrance at all. Which of the three applies to a house is written on its title.

$202,000 to $1,260,000

Ranchlands

A NW Calgary community built from 1976 into the early 1980s inside Crowchild Trail, Sarcee Trail, John Laurie Boulevard and Nose Hill Drive, with four hill parks left in their natural grass when it was laid out. Of 96 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 49 were detached houses at a typical $580,000 and 36 were townhouses at a typical $356,950. Both elementary schools and the community association's hall share one park block in the middle, and its townhouses include freehold rows as well as condominiums.

$230,000 to $1,045,000

Rocky Ridge

A NW Calgary community of 1990s and 2000s homes at the city's north-west edge, between Crowchild Trail, Rocky Ridge Road, Country Hills Boulevard and Twelve Mile Coulee Road, with Tuscany CTrain Station on its south-east edge. Of 121 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, 59 were detached houses at a typical $826,500. Many titles carry an annual fee to the Rocky Ridge Ranch Homeowners Association, whose members-only park has a small lake and a winter rink, and one group of condominiums belongs to a separate association with its own clubhouse.

$220,000 to $2,025,000

Royal Oak

A northwest community where detached housing carries the market and where the annual charge people call the Royal Oak fee is not an association fee at all. Ninety-four of 152 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 were detached, closing at a median of $772,000, against 31 apartment sales at $257,500 and 21 row and townhouse sales at $450,000. Royal Oak Estates has a homeowners association and it charges no fee: the enhanced landscaping there is paid for by a City of Calgary special tax on the property tax bill, $225.11 per parcel for 2026 across 635 properties under Bylaw 2M2026, created by petition of the property owners themselves. Restrictive covenants are registered on those same titles, and a covenant is a separate instrument from a tax.

$200,000 to $1,498,784

Tuscany

A northwest community where speed is the headline number.

Coverage is not universal. The Tuscarora sub area sits outside the Association's boundaries, that boundary is published nowhere, and the only reliable check is the title of the specific address.

$309,000 to $1,625,000

Valley Ridge

A 1990s and 2000s NW Calgary community between the Trans-Canada Highway and the Bow River, west of Stoney Trail NW, with the 18-hole Valley Ridge Golf Club inside it.

$195,000 to $2,401,000

Chaparral

A deep-south community where the name on the sign does not settle what you are buying. Chaparral is one City of Calgary community, and Chaparral Valley, Chaparral Ridge and Chaparral Ravine all sit inside its boundary, but lake access here is registered as an encumbrance on an individual land title rather than granted by the address. Chaparral recorded 172 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $680,000, pooled across the pockets that carry lake access and the pockets that do not. Detached houses were 72.1% of that market at a median of $724,850.

$212,500 to $2,007,500

Copperfield

A southeast community where the market runs a genuine three step ladder rather than one product type carrying the count.

$155,000 to $874,000

Cranston

A southeast community on the east bank of the Bow River, started in 1999 and still being built, where an annual residents association fee is registered against every title as a rent charge encumbrance. Cranston charges that fee at two rates: $180.50 plus GST for the standard and commercial classes, and $493 plus GST in Riverstone. Cranston recorded 398 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $577,750, with detached houses at a median of $715,000 across 244 sales, row and townhouse product at $421,000, apartments at $320,000 and semi-detached homes at $496,250. Detached was 61.3% of the market.

$220,000 to $2,510,000

Douglasdale/Glen

A southeast community carrying two eras under one MLS subdivision, split by Quarry Park. The homes that sold over the twelve months to August 2026 carried a blended median build year of 1997, but detached sales carried 1995 while apartment sales carried 2016. Two hundred and seventeen residential sales closed at a blended median of $645,000, and the single highest sale of the year, $1,900,000, was an apartment, not a house; the detached ceiling was $1,225,000. Quarry Park also carries its own mandatory land fee registered on title. Most of the older Douglasdale and Douglas Glen area pays a small City special tax for landscaping, and membership in the community association is voluntary.

$319,900 to $1,900,000

Lake Bonavista

A southeast community built around two separate man-made lakes, where access to the 52-acre Lake Bonavista and its 25-acre park runs through a mandatory homeowners association membership registered on land title, set at $409.50 including GST for 2026-2027. The homes that sold here over the past year carried a median build year of 1973, and the market trades in two product types only: 99 detached sales at a $1,022,000 median and 50 apartment sales at $339,500.

$212,000 to $3,400,000

Legacy

A large deep-southeast community east of Macleod Trail that sells across four segments with real volume behind each one: 78 apartment sales starting at $185,000, 27 row and 32 semi-detached through the middle, 97 detached above them, and an estate pocket in Legacy Mount reaching $1,500,000. One community that genuinely spans first condo to estate home.

$185,000 to $1,500,000

Mahogany

A southeast lake community established in Fall 2008 by Hopewell Residential, where access to Mahogany Lake, the two beach sites and the Beach Club runs through an annual encumbrance fee registered on every residential land title.

Detached was 56.1% of the market, and the homes that sold carried a median build year of 2018.

$226,000 to $2,800,000

McKenzie Lake

A southeast community the City of Calgary classes as established 1980s and 1990s stock, built east of the Bow River around a private lake the residents association has run since 1989. Nine in ten of the homes that sold here over the past year were detached: 154 of 170 sales, at a median of $751,500 against a blended community median of $708,250. The detached market moved at a median of 15 days. The part that surprises buyers is legal rather than physical, because the association records its encumbrance against most lots in McKenzie Lake rather than all of them, so a McKenzie Lake address is not by itself proof of lake access.

$351,250 to $2,500,000

McKenzie Towne

A southeast community developed from 1995 on what the City of Calgary's Area Structure Plan calls a neotraditional model, with four residential neighbourhoods and a commercial towne centre built around a traditional main street. An encumbrance on every title makes membership in the McKenzie Towne Council automatic, and the Council charges one flat annual fee of $235.00 including GST for 2026, after four years held at $226.60. Condominium and commercial owners are required members under the Council's Articles. McKenzie Towne recorded 368 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $479,600, with detached houses at $610,000 across 167 sales, semi-detached at $478,000, row and townhouse product at $400,111 and apartments at $275,000.

$175,000 to $1,380,000

Midnapore

Deep-south Calgary lake community with a genuine small-town history, two heritage churches, and a private residents-only lake, where detached houses were 44 of 86 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 and semi-detached, row, and apartment homes made up the rest.

$187,460 to $2,050,000

New Brighton

A southeast community where two home types make up most of the market: detached and row and townhouse. Apartment and semi-detached sales were the other fifteen of New Brighton's 190 sales over the twelve months to August 2026. New Brighton also carries a community-wide mandatory encumbrance: every residential title carries a New Brighton Residents Association fee registered under the Land Titles Act (Alberta), and there is no lake behind it, only a clubhouse. The 190 sales closed at a typical price of $563,450, with detached at $629,000 across 123 sales and row and townhouse at $385,000 across 52. Individual sales ranged from $253,000 to $775,000, though the low end came from the small apartment group, not from either of the two main types.

$253,000 to $775,000

Sundance

Deep-south planned lake community established in the early 1980s, where a near-pure detached streetscape and four-season access to private Lake Sundance define the half of MidSun south of Sun Valley Boulevard.

$481,000 to $2,202,371

Walden

A Genstar community in the deep southeast that fills every rung of its ladder rather than stretching between two: 34 apartments, 56 row and townhouse homes at a $403,036 median, 32 semi-detached and 103 detached, from $220,000 to $1,057,500. The steps between rungs are short, and the typical home sold in 35 days.

$220,000 to $1,057,500

Willow Park

A settled southeast community with a private 135-acre golf course inside its boundaries, where 82.2% of the past year's sales were detached houses and the homes that changed hands carried a median build year of 1968. Willow Park recorded 73 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026 at a blended median of $755,000, and the school inside the community is a citywide choice programme rather than the designated catchment school.

$259,500 to $2,800,000
