Belmont

Overview

Belmont sits at the far south edge of the southwest, one of the newest communities in the city and part of the West Macleod growth area south of Silverado. Developed by Anthem Properties, it was announced in 2017, with show-home construction starting that autumn, and it has been building steadily since. It is bounded by 194 Avenue SW to the north, where it meets Silverado, by 210 Avenue SW to the south, and by Sheriff King Street SW to the west, across which sits Yorkville, a separate Mattamy-built community that shares Belmont’s far-south, new-build character. Belmont’s east side faces open land toward Macleod Trail, which lies further east.

Belmont is still very much under construction. CBE’s 2026 school capital plan, the best independent measure available, puts the community at roughly 33% built out, with a planned capacity of 9,000 to 9,400 residents across about 3,230 homes at full build-out. In practical terms that means a buyer today is stepping into a community that is a third of the way to complete, with fresh housing, a growing population, and major amenities in progress rather than finished.

What makes Belmont worth a close look is its price ladder. Of the new far-south communities, it offers the widest range of housing and the lowest entry point, from apartments and townhomes through semi-detached and detached homes, which makes it one of the more accessible ways into brand-new construction in the deep south. The sections below break down what that looks like in the market, the schools, and the amenities taking shape.

David’s take

The vibe

Belmont reads as a brand-new community in the middle of becoming itself. Roughly a third built out as of 2026, it is a place of fresh streetscapes, show homes, and active construction, where the housing is all recent and the landscaping is still maturing. The feel is contemporary and family-oriented, the kind of new-build environment that appeals to buyers who want a home with no deferred maintenance and a community they can grow into.

The green space is already taking shape. Belmont has a playground, the developer’s Mounds of Fun play space, and several park areas linked by pathways, part of the open-space network planned across the community. The bigger civic amenities are on the way rather than open: the Belmont Fieldhouse and Library, on the civic site at Creekside Boulevard and 210 Avenue SW, is under construction, with the City anticipating completion around the second quarter of 2027.

For day-to-day shopping, Belmont is still in its early phase. As of late 2025 the developer noted that residents travel five to ten minutes outside the community for daily essentials, to established retail such as Silverado Marketplace, Shawnessy Village, and the Township centre nearby. That is set to change: a large open-air retail centre anchored by a grocery store is under construction at the south end of the community. More on that below.

Housing stock

Belmont’s defining feature as a market is the breadth of its housing. Because it is a large master-planned community still filling in, it was built from the start with a full range of product rather than a single dominant type, and that shows up clearly in the sales. Detached homes are the largest segment, but attached housing, row homes and townhouses in particular, makes up nearly as much of the market, with semi-detached and apartment product filling out the lower rungs.

That range is the reason Belmont has the lowest entry point of the new far-south communities. A first-time buyer or a downsizer can find an apartment or townhouse here at a fraction of the detached price, while a growing family can buy new-construction detached space, all inside the same community. The table below sketches the typical price by type over the twelve months to July 2026. If you want help reading where a specific home or floor plan sits within these bands, the buyer’s guide is a good starting point.

Type	Typical price	Notes
Detached	$692,500	47 sales (about 45% of all sales in the community), up to the community high of $890,000.
Row / townhouse	$460,000	41 sales, nearly as many as detached, the deep middle of Belmont's price ladder.
Semi-detached (half duplex)	Too few sales	Only 7 sales, not enough for a reliable price.
Apartment / condo	$359,950	10 sales, the most affordable rung. The community floor this year was $240,000.

Recent sales

Over the twelve months to July 2026, Belmont recorded 105 residential sales. The typical (median) sold price was $539,900 and the average was $554,616, with homes spending about 48 days on market on average and selling at roughly 98% of list price. Detached homes made up about 45% of sales, with row and townhouse product close behind. Prices ran from a floor of $240,000 to a high of $890,000, the wide spread you would expect from a community that sells everything from apartments to detached family homes.

Twelve-month sales by property type

• Detached. 47 sales. Typical price about $692,500. The largest segment and the top of the market, up to the community high of $890,000.
• Row / townhouse. 41 sales. Typical price about $460,000. Nearly as many sales as detached, the deep middle of Belmont’s price ladder.
• Semi-detached (half duplex). Only 7 sales, not enough for a reliable price.
• Apartment / condo. 10 sales. Typical price about $359,950. The most affordable rung, and the community’s overall floor this year was $240,000.

Schools

Belmont has two school sites reserved inside the community, but as of 2026 neither has been built, so every designated school currently sits outside Belmont’s boundaries. On the public side, CBE designates Belmont’s elementary students to Ethel M. Johnson School (K-6) and junior-high students to Harold Panabaker School (7-9), both in Southwood, an established community several kilometres north, with Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School (10-12) in the Canyon Meadows area as the senior-high designation. The elementary assignment is recent: effective the 2025-26 school year, CBE re-designated Belmont’s K-6 regular-program students from Ron Southern School to Ethel M. Johnson, so older builder pages that still list Ron Southern are out of date.

On the Catholic side, CSSD designates Holy Child School (K-9) in adjacent Silverado, closer than the public assignments, feeding to All Saints High School (10-12) in Legacy for the senior grades.

Two forward-looking notes matter here. First, CBE’s 2026 Three-Year School Capital Plan, approved in March 2026, names a future Belmont/West Macleod High School to be built inside Belmont, expected to open around 2031 or 2032, which would eventually become the senior-high pathway for Belmont and its neighbours; the current Scarlett designation is very likely an interim one. Second, because this is a fast-growing area, CBE and CSSD designations are set by your specific address and are reviewed annually, so confirm the current pathway for any address using the CBE Find a School and CSSD school-finder tools before you buy.

Getting around

Belmont is a car-first community today, which is normal for a new far-south neighbourhood still under construction. Most trips start with the arterial grid: 194 Avenue SW along the north edge, Sheriff King Street SW on the west, and 210 Avenue SW to the south connect quickly to Macleod Trail and the Stoney Trail ring road for trips across the city. That grid also connects Belmont north to the established deep-south communities of Millrise, Somerset, Bridlewood, and Evergreen, where much of the area’s older retail and transit is concentrated.

There is confirmed bus service. Calgary Transit extended Route 78 to serve Belmont and Yorkville effective December 2022, connecting the area toward the wider network. For rail, there is no CTrain station in Belmont today; the nearest is Somerset-Bridlewood Station, the current southern terminus of the Red Line, which the developer places within about five kilometres and a roughly ten-minute drive.

Longer term, the City is studying a Red Line LRT South Extension that would run south from Somerset-Bridlewood toward 210 Avenue, with new stations proposed along the way. It is worth knowing about, but it is early-stage: in the City’s own words, detailed design and construction are currently unfunded, with no committed opening date. Treat it as a possibility rather than a dated plan, and note that it is the Red Line, not the Green Line.

Drive times depend on your exact address and traffic. The developer’s own estimate puts downtown at roughly 35 minutes by car from the community’s south edge; treat that as an estimate. For your own commute, check a live map for your route and for destinations such as the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, or the airport, since verified drive times to those were not available for this guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is Belmont a good community to buy in?

Belmont suits buyers who want brand-new construction and a range of price points in one place. It is a young far-south community, roughly a third built out as of 2026, so you are buying into a neighbourhood that is still growing, with major amenities like the fieldhouse, library, and town-centre retail under construction rather than finished. The appeal is the price ladder: Belmont offers the lowest entry point of the new far-south communities, from apartments and townhomes up to detached family homes, plus new-build features and no deferred maintenance. The trade-off is patience, since for now residents drive five to ten minutes to established retail nearby. For buyers comfortable growing with a community, it is one of the more accessible ways into new construction in the deep south.

How much do homes cost in Belmont?

Over the twelve months to July 2026, the typical (median) sold price was $539,900 and the average was $554,616, with sales running from $240,000 to $890,000. That figure describes a ladder rather than a typical house, because Belmont sells a wide range of product. By type, apartments carried a typical price around $359,950, row and townhouse homes around $460,000, and detached homes around $692,500. Semi-detached had only 7 sales, too few for a reliable price. Detached made up about 45% of sales, with row and townhouse product close behind at 41 of 105 sales. For a read on a specific property, a home valuation is the place to start.

What schools serve Belmont?

Belmont has two school sites reserved inside the community, but neither has been built yet, so every designated school currently sits outside Belmont. On the public side, CBE designates Ethel M. Johnson School (K-6) and Harold Panabaker School (7-9) in Southwood, an established community several kilometres north, with Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School (10-12) in the Canyon Meadows area for senior grades. The elementary designation changed recently, moving from Ron Southern to Ethel M. Johnson effective the 2025-26 school year. On the Catholic side, CSSD designates Holy Child School (K-9) in adjacent Silverado, feeding to All Saints High School (10-12) in Legacy. Designations are set by your specific address and reviewed annually, so confirm the current pathway with the CBE Find a School and CSSD school-finder tools before you buy.

Does Belmont have shopping and amenities?

Not fully yet, but a lot is under construction. Today Belmont has parks, a playground, and pathways, plus a small retail node, and residents drive five to ten minutes to established centres such as Silverado Marketplace, Shawnessy Village, and the Township centre for groceries and daily essentials. The big additions are in progress: a large open-air retail centre anchored by a grocery store is under construction at the south end of the community, targeted to open in 2027, and the City’s Belmont Fieldhouse and Library is under construction on the civic site, anticipated to open around the second quarter of 2027. A larger recreation centre has been approved for planning but is not yet funded for construction. Belmont in 2027 will have noticeably more on its doorstep than Belmont in 2026.

How does Belmont compare to Silverado next door?

They sit side by side across 194 Avenue SW, but they are at different stages. Silverado is the older, more established community to the north, largely built out, with its own retail at Silverado Marketplace. Belmont is newer and still under construction, which is exactly why it offers a wider spread of brand-new product and a lower entry point, from apartments and townhomes up to detached homes. If you want a settled community with amenities already in place, Silverado makes sense; if you want new construction and are comfortable with a neighbourhood that is still filling in, Belmont is the draw. Belmont is also directly adjacent to Yorkville to the west, across Sheriff King Street SW, a comparable new community by a different builder, and sits in the same far-south group as Pine Creek, so it is worth comparing all of them before deciding.
