Overview
Nearly every street in Castleridge starts with the word “Castle”: Castledale, Castlebrook, Castleglen, Castlegreen, Castlefall, Castlebury, Castlegrove and Castlepark among them. 54 Street NE is the one exception. The houses on those streets came in a rush: nine homes in ten were built from 1980 to 1983, and more than half of them in 1981 alone.
Three roads give the community the shape of a wedge. 64 Avenue NE runs straight across the north, with Martindale on the other side. Falconridge Boulevard NE cuts down the east and south-east on a long diagonal, facing Falconridge, and Castleridge Boulevard NE curves around the west and south-west, with the Westwinds industrial and commercial district beyond it. Every address is NE.
Inside those three roads it is detached houses and half-duplexes, one rental apartment complex, two elementary schools and one strip of shops. There are no condominium homes at all. Grocery stores, the Catholic high school and the community hall are each a crossing away, in Westwinds or Falconridge.
David’s take
The vibe
1980 to 1983
Calgary took in the land in 1961, but houses only began going up around 1980. The Federation of Calgary Communities dates Castleridge to 1980. After that it filled quickly, by the City’s count: 642 residents in 1981, 3,159 in 1982 and 4,633 in 1983. The City’s count peaked at 6,475 in 2015, and the 2021 census counted 6,130 people in private households.
Households at the 2021 census
At the 2021 census, a Castleridge household held 3.3 people on average, against 2.6 across Calgary, and 21% of households had five or more people (Calgary: 10%). Children 14 and under made up 20% of residents, against 18% across the city. Owners lived in 68% of households, close to Calgary’s 69%, and 76% of them had a mortgage, above the citywide 65%. The typical total household income for 2020 was $87,000, against $98,000 for Calgary as a whole.
School fields and small parks
The two largest City park sites in Castleridge are its school grounds, O.S. Geiger School’s on Castlebrook Drive NE and St. John Paul II School’s on Castleridge Drive NE. Between them they hold four soccer fields and three ball diamonds, kept up by Calgary Parks. Nine smaller City park sites sit between the houses, and four of them have playground equipment. The land is flat, without a pond or creek, and no regional pathway crosses it.
The one commercial site is the strip at 12 Castleridge Drive NE. As of November 2026 it had a Shell gas station, a pharmacy, a liquor store and restaurants. A place of worship stands on Castleridge Boulevard NE, and there are three daycare sites inside the community.
A crossing away
Westwinds, across Castleridge Boulevard, has grocery stores. As of November 2026 a Safeway and a Real Canadian Superstore were open there. Prairie Winds Park, a City regional park of about 17 hectares with a wading pool and spray park, is on the same side of the road.
Falconridge, across Falconridge Boulevard, has Bishop McNally High School, Terry Fox School, the community hall the two communities share and a fully fenced City off-leash area. Over 64 Avenue to the north, Martindale has the Genesis Centre, which shares its site with a YMCA and the Saddletowne Library. The Don Hartman North East Sportsplex is over in Coral Springs.
The Castlebrook streets and the NEF 25 contour
Every home on Castlebrook Way, Road, Rise, Place, Court and Mews NE is inside the NEF 25 contour of the City’s Noise Exposure Forecast map, and so is every home on Castlebury Road and Court NE and Castledale Gate NE. Nearly every home on Castlebury Way NE is in the band as well, with parts of Castlefall Grove, Road and Way, Castledale Way, Castleridge Drive and Castlebrook Drive NE. Castlefall Crescent NE is outside it. The band covers the west and south-west of Castleridge, about a third of its land. In the City’s words, the contours “are a development constraint for properties that are within the contours.”
The rest of Castleridge is outside the contours, apart from a sliver of the NEF 30 contour at the west edge along Castleridge Boulevard with no address inside it. Before you make an offer on a west-side house, look the lot up on that same map.
Housing stock
Castleridge has 1,452 detached houses and 214 half-duplexes, every half titled separately. Eight more duplex buildings each sit on a single title, and three houses have a backyard suite on the lot. The single apartment property is a rental complex on Castleridge Drive NE, built in 1981. No townhouse complex and no condominium plan exists anywhere in the community.
At the 2021 census, single-detached houses were 68% of occupied homes (Calgary: 55%), and semi-detached homes 13% (Calgary: 6%). The census counted no row houses at all, against 10% across Calgary.
Detached lots are typically about 4,400 square feet, and 1981 is the typical detached build year. The half-duplexes sit on half-lots that are typically about 2,800 square feet, concentrated on Castleglen Road, Castlebrook Way and Castlebrook Rise NE and around Castleridge Drive, Castlepark Way and Castleridge Way NE. Around 20 houses have been torn down and rebuilt on their lots since 2004.
Owned by the half
Because the half-duplexes are titled by the half and there are no condominium homes, no Castleridge home carries a condo fee. Castleridge has no residents association or homeowners association fee either. The two owners of a half-duplex still share a wall, so ask the seller what the two owners have agreed between them.
The community association is the Falconridge/Castleridge Community Association, a single body that represents both communities. Membership is optional, the association lists prices from $10, and each membership year begins in October and ends in September. Its hall is across Falconridge Boulevard at 95 Falshire Drive NE, in Falconridge, and Castleridge has no hall of its own. The difference between a community membership, a condo fee and a fee registered on title is set out in what counts as an HOA fee in Calgary.
| Type | Median sale price | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | $450,000 | 26 |
| Semi-detached | $347,500 | 8 |
| All home types | $422,650 | 34 |
Recent sales
Castleridge had 48 residential sales in the twelve months to August 2026, and every one was a detached house or a half-duplex. The 36 detached houses sold at a typical $460,000, in a range of $377,000 to $629,000, and half sold within 27 days. Their typical build year was 1981.
The 12 half-duplexes went for a typical $380,500, between $330,000 and $465,000, and half sold within 23 days. A typical one dated from 1982.
Put together, the 48 sales had a typical price of $440,000, and the middle half sold between $411,000 and $512,000. The full range ran from $330,000 to $629,000. Half of all 48 sold within 24 days, and a typical seller received 96.54% of the asking price.
Castleridge’s average sale price, $455,636, runs $15,636 ahead of that typical price. Three sales in four were detached houses at a typical $460,000, and they weigh most in the average. The 12 half-duplexes, at a typical $380,500, make up the other quarter, enough to set the middle sale below the typical house.
North across 64 Avenue, Martindale’s 105 detached houses sold at a typical $485,000 in the twelve months to August 2026, against $460,000 for Castleridge’s 36. Castleridge’s houses moved faster: half sold within 27 days here, and half of Martindale’s within 39. Martindale’s are also newer, with a typical build year of 1995 against 1981 here.
Selling a Castleridge house starts with a home valuation built from the sales around it. If you’re buying, the buyer’s guide walks through each step, from the offer and deposit to the conditions coming off.
Getting around
Castleridge Drive NE is the main street through, running from Castleridge Boulevard in the west across to Falconridge Boulevard in the east, and Castlebrook Drive NE is a second main street.
MAX Orange, one of Calgary Transit’s bus rapid transit lines, uses Falconridge Boulevard NE along the east edge. At Falshire Drive Station, the southbound platform, with buses heading for Brentwood, is on the Castleridge side, and the northbound one is across the road in Falconridge. Castleridge Boulevard Station, despite its name, has its platforms outside the community, in Falconridge and Westwinds.
Route 21 Castleridge runs on Castleridge Boulevard and Castleridge Drive, and Route 55 Falconridge on Castleridge Drive, both every day of the week. Routes 23, 38, 60, 61 and 68 stop along the edges, also all week. Castleridge has no CTrain station: McKnight-Westwinds Station is across Castleridge Boulevard in Westwinds, and Martindale Station is across 64 Avenue in Martindale. The 2021 census found 14% of employed residents commuting by transit (Calgary: 9%).
Calgary International Airport is the quickest of the four drives, 15 minutes by car from the middle of Castleridge without traffic, as of November 2026. Downtown, the Municipal Building takes 24 minutes, with the University of Calgary at 28 and Foothills Medical Centre at 29.

Schools
Castleridge has two elementary schools inside it, one for each board, and every address in the community is designated to them for kindergarten to grade 6. Everything after grade 6 is across Falconridge Boulevard or farther.
Every Castleridge address, as CBE publishes it in November 2026, starts at O.S. Geiger School (100 Castlebrook Dr NE) for kindergarten to grade 6. Terry Fox School (139 Falshire Dr NE), in Falconridge, takes grades 7 to 9, and Crescent Heights High School (1019 1 St NW), in Crescent Heights, takes grades 10 to 12. Crescent Heights is new to Castleridge: CBE’s notice of December 11, 2025 shifted Castleridge’s designation away from James Fowler High School beginning in the 2026-27 school year, while letting students then in grade 10 or 11 finish at James Fowler.
As CSSD publishes it in November 2026, the whole community starts at St. John Paul II School (119 Castleridge Drive NE), inside Castleridge, for kindergarten to grade 6. St. John XXIII School (1420 Falconridge Drive NE), in Falconridge, takes grades 7 to 9. Bishop McNally High School (5700 Falconridge Blvd NE), also in Falconridge, then has them from grade 10 to grade 12. CSSD’s 2027-2028 high school boundaries leave Castleridge with Bishop McNally.

Bishop McNally High School
Catholic, 10-12

Frequently asked questions
What do homes sell for in Castleridge?
Detached houses and half-duplexes were the whole market in the twelve months to August 2026. The 36 detached houses went for a typical $460,000, from $377,000 to $629,000, and the 12 half-duplexes for a typical $380,500, from $330,000 to $465,000. No townhouse or apartment sold. Across all 48 sales the typical price was $440,000, with the middle half between $411,000 and $512,000. To price one house rather than the community, ask for a home valuation set against the sales closest to it.
Do Castleridge homeowners owe any condo or association fee?
No. Castleridge has no condominium homes, and its half-duplexes are titled by the half, so a condo fee doesn’t come with any home here. Castleridge has no residents association or homeowners association fee. Joining the community association is optional. That’s the Falconridge/Castleridge Community Association, one body for both communities, which lists memberships from $10 a year and has its hall across Falconridge Boulevard at 95 Falshire Drive NE.
Where do Castleridge children go to school?
Each board sends the whole community the same way, with no split at any grade. As CBE publishes it in November 2026, children go to O.S. Geiger School inside Castleridge for kindergarten to grade 6, then Terry Fox School in Falconridge and Crescent Heights High School. As CSSD publishes it in November 2026, they go to St. John Paul II School inside Castleridge, then cross into Falconridge for St. John XXIII School in grades 7 to 9 and Bishop McNally High School after that.
