Copperfield

Overview

Copperfield’s market is not a detached-first story with two afterthought segments tacked on. Three product types traded in real volume over the twelve months to August 2026: detached houses, row and townhouse product, and apartments. Row and townhouse product closed 73 sales. Apartments closed 69, four fewer. That is not a rounding gap between a real segment and a token one; it is two ends of a genuine condo market running at close to equal volume, and together they account for 142 of Copperfield’s 303 sales, just under half of everything that changed hands.

Three hundred and three residential sales closed in the community over that window, at a blended median of $500,000. Half of everything sold between $360,000 and $598,999, and individual sales ran from as low as $155,000 to as high as $874,000. Detached houses were the largest single segment at 160 sales, 52.8% of the market, closing at a median of $590,000. Row and townhouse product closed at $391,000, and apartments at $263,500. Those three segments add to 302 of the community’s 303 sales; one further sale falls in a product type with too few transactions of its own to support a published figure, and nothing about it appears on this page beyond that count. The homes that sold across the community carried a median build year of 2012.

Copperfield was launched in 2002 by Hopewell Residential Communities and grew to roughly 4,000 homes, about 2,800 of them single-family, over a four-year build-out that finished in 2006. The City of Calgary’s own community boundary record lists Copperfield under community code CPF, in the Southeast sector, with a status of Established.

David’s take

The vibe

Wikipedia’s own account has Copperfield’s build-out finished in 2006, four years after Hopewell Residential Communities launched the community in 2002. The build years behind this guide’s own sold-homes data run well past that close date: a median of 2007 among the detached homes that sold, 2013 among row and townhouse, 2015 among apartments. Set against a build-out Wikipedia dates to 2006, that gap means multi-family product kept arriving in Copperfield for close to a decade after the single-family phase wrapped, which lines up with the segment mix reported throughout this page: three product types trading in real volume, not a detached community with a condo project added on the side.

Day to day, the community’s shared infrastructure runs through one body, the voluntary Copperfield Community Association, at $30 a household a year. Whether that fee carries any weight against a title, it does not, is covered in full in David’s take above and in the frequently asked questions below. What the fee actually funds is its own detail, and it is worth setting out plainly.

What the association operates

For the $30 a year, the Federation of Calgary Communities directory lists tennis courts and a skating rink, a hockey rink, a main hall with 50 person capacity, two meeting rooms, a sound system and indoor fireplace, and a wheelchair accessible facility. The association’s own site additionally references the hall as available for rental, outdoor rinks, a community garden planning committee, and ongoing programs and classes. Contact details on file are 6 Copperstone Way SE, Calgary, AB T2Z 0E7, phone (403) 532-8864, email info@mycopperfield.ca.

Boundaries

Per the Federation of Calgary Communities’ own directory listing for the association, Copperfield’s boundaries run to McIvor Boulevard and 130 Avenue SE on the north, the Stoney Trail transportation utility corridor on the east, Marquis de Lorne Trail, itself part of Stoney Trail, on the south, and 52 Street SE on the west.

Housing stock

Three product types carry enough sales to publish a segment median, and the spread between them is the real structure of this community’s market.

Detached houses were the largest group at 160 sales, 52.8% of the market, at a median of $590,000. The detached homes that sold carried a median build year of 2007, the oldest of the three published segments.

Row and townhouse product was 73 sales, 24.1% of the market, at a median of $391,000, with a median monthly association fee of $326.80 reported on those sales and a median build year of 2013.

Apartments were 69 sales, 22.8% of the market, at a median of $263,500, with a median monthly association fee of $456.33 and a median build year of 2015, the newest of the three. The newest product moving through Copperfield is also its least expensive, an eight-year gap in median build year against the detached segment that sits at the top of the market.

Those three segments account for 302 of the community’s 303 sales. One further sale closed in a product type with too few transactions of its own to support a published median, build year or fee figure. This guide does not reconstruct that figure from the community total; it simply notes that the published segments do not add to 303, and why.

Type	Typical price range	Notes
Detached	Median $590,000	160 sales, 52.8% of the market. Median build year among the homes that sold, 2007.
Row / townhouse	Median $391,000	73 sales, 24.1% of the market. Median monthly association fee $326.80. Median build year among the homes that sold, 2013.
Apartment	Median $263,500	69 sales, 22.8% of the market. Median monthly association fee $456.33. Median build year among the homes that sold, 2015.

Recent sales

The community-wide figures on this page are worth reading as pairs, because the blended median and the segment figures beside it tell different parts of the same story.

The blended median across all 303 sales was $500,000, and the arithmetic mean was $479,750, which is the figure shown in the stat block at the top of this page. That puts the mean $20,250 below the median, the less common direction for a residential price distribution. A median only marks a position in a ranked list; a mean carries the actual dollar total of every sale and divides by the count. Detached, the segment above the community median, sits only $90,000 above it at $590,000. Row and townhouse and apartment sales sit much further below it, at $391,000 and $263,500, and together they are 142 of the 303 sales, just under half the market. With the segment above the median sitting close and the segments below it sitting far and carrying nearly half the volume, the dollar total behind the mean settles under the sale ranked in the exact middle.

Half of everything sold between $360,000 and $598,999, and the full range for the year ran from $155,000 to $874,000.

On timing, the middle sale took 28 days and the mean across all 303 sales was 40, a 12 day gap running the more ordinary direction: a tail of slower listings pulling the average above the middle rather than below it. Segment-level timing figures were not available for this guide, so this page reports the community-wide pair only.

Sellers held onto 98.11% of asking at the median, giving up a little under two percent at the midpoint.

None of the community-wide numbers price a single house. They summarise 303 transactions across three published product types trading at three separate levels, which is why the segment table above is where a real search starts. For help placing a specific home inside these bands, start with the buyer’s guide. On the selling side, a home valuation is the first step.

Getting around

No CTrain line and no MAX or BRT stop sits inside Copperfield’s boundary. The City of Calgary’s own transit stop dataset lists four active routes serving the community. Route 153 Copperfield is the community’s own regular local route. Route 151 New Brighton Express is an express route with some stops inside Copperfield, including Copperfield Boulevard at Copperfield Manor SE. Route 23 52 St E runs along the community’s western edge.

Route 717 Beaverbrook/Copperfield is categorised by the City as a school route rather than a general-purpose service. It is timed to school bell schedules and feeds Lord Beaverbrook High School, so it should not be read as a resident’s regular commute option.

Reaching Bus Rapid Transit or MAX service means connecting outside the community. Route 302, the Southeast/City Centre BRT, runs through neighbouring New Brighton, and Route 306, MAX Teal, runs through Douglasdale/Glen, but neither has a stop named for Copperfield inside the community itself, per the City’s own cross-reference dataset. A Copperfield resident reaches either service by riding Route 153 or Route 151 to a stop outside the community.

The Green Line is not part of Copperfield’s transit picture, now or in any published plan. The City of Calgary’s Green Line Stations page lists all ten stations of the Southeast Segment by name: Shepard, Douglas Glen, Quarry Park, South Hill, Ogden, Lynnwood/Millican, Highfield, 26 Avenue S.E., Ramsay/Inglewood and Event Centre/Grand Central Station. Copperfield is not among them, and no Green Line station is planned in or adjacent to the community.

Put plainly, a Copperfield resident without a car is planning around Route 153, the community’s own line, or a walk to Route 151 or Route 23 at the edge, and then a transfer once they get there for anything faster than a local bus, whether that is the BRT into downtown or MAX Teal into the southeast. Nothing labelled Copperfield sits on a rapid-transit line today, and nothing published changes that.

Schools

Five designated schools serve a Copperfield address, three on the public side and two on the Catholic side, though only one sits inside the community’s own boundary on each side. Each placement below was settled by testing the school’s location against the City of Calgary’s community boundary dataset rather than by reading its address, using ten interior coordinates spread across the community and pulled back from every edge, queried against each board’s regular-programme designation service, then re-run on ten fresh coordinates. Attendance areas reflect the 2025/2026 school year.

The public pathway

Copperfield School, kindergarten through grade 5, sits inside the community at 54 Copperstone Rd SE and is the CBE elementary designation for every address tested here, returning at all ten interior coordinates on both the first run and an independent second run.

Grade 6 through 9 is Dr. Martha Cohen School, at 116 Brightondale Park SE, which point-in-polygons into New Brighton rather than Copperfield itself. It is still the middle-school designation for a Copperfield address, and it returned at all ten coordinates on both runs. CBE’s own record files the designation as two overlay rows, Regular (6) and Regular (7-9), against a stated school profile span of 6-9. That is a disagreement of form rather than of catchment, so this guide publishes the full 6-9 span.

Senior high is Lord Beaverbrook High School, at 9019 Fairmount Dr SE in Acadia, well outside Copperfield’s own boundary. It returned at every coordinate on both runs, and it is also the senior high designation for Douglasdale/Glen and New Brighton, sitting outside the boundary of all three.

The Catholic pathway

St. Isabella School holds the CSSD designation for Copperfield at both elementary and junior high, from 855 Copperfield Blvd SE, inside the community. Both tiers returned at all ten coordinates on both runs, so there is no split to describe at either level. CSSD’s own record for the school carries a caution worth stating in full rather than softening: St. Isabella has limited resources and facilities, and the district asks families to call the school directly to discuss enrolment and waitlist options. A designation is not the same thing as an available seat, and here the district says so itself.

Senior high on the Catholic side is Bishop O’Byrne High School, at 333 Shawville Blvd SE in Shawnessy, returning at all ten coordinates on both runs. CSSD’s own attendance-area note for Bishop O’Byrne names an additional All Saints High School option for four other communities: Auburn Bay, Cranston, Mahogany and Seton. Copperfield is not one of them, so for a Copperfield address, Bishop O’Byrne is the designation on its own, with no alternative attached to it.

Both boards reset and review designations by address annually, so treat everything above as a snapshot of the 2025/2026 attendance areas taken in August 2026, and get the live answer from CBE’s Find a School tool and the CSSD school finder before you commit to a purchase. The schools resource sets out how Calgary’s boundaries and choice programmes fit together.

Frequently asked questions

How much do homes cost in Copperfield?

Over the twelve months to August 2026, Copperfield recorded 303 residential sales at a blended median sold price of $500,000, with half of everything closing between $360,000 and $598,999 and individual sales running from $155,000 to $874,000. Three product types trade here in real volume and each one carries enough sales to publish a median. Detached houses, 160 of the 303 sales, closed at a median of $590,000. Row and townhouse product, 73 sales, closed at a median of $391,000, with a median monthly association fee of $326.80. Apartments, 69 sales, closed at a median of $263,500, with a median monthly association fee of $456.33. Those three segments account for 302 of the community’s 303 sales. The remaining sale falls in a product type with too few transactions on its own to support a published median, build year or fee figure, which is why the segments above do not add to 303. For a read on a specific property rather than on a community, a home valuation is the place to start.

Does Copperfield have a mandatory residents association?

No. The only community organisation found for Copperfield is the Copperfield Community Association, the operating name of the Marquis de Lorne Community Association, a provincial society registered July 11, 2005. Its own site states membership is optional: a voluntary $30.00 per household per year. Neither the association’s site nor its Federation of Calgary Communities directory entry claims an encumbrance, a caveat or any fee registered against a Certificate of Title for Copperfield. There is one sentence worth addressing directly, because it does appear on the association’s own site and a careful buyer may find it. mycopperfield.ca’s Memberships page carries an FAQ explaining the difference between a community association, Copperfield’s own type, and a resident’s or homeowner’s association, a different category the page defines in general terms: developer built communities with amenities turned over to a residents association whose membership is compulsory and whose fee is collected through a caveat on title. That paragraph describes the second category in the abstract. It never says Copperfield has one, and the page never names a Copperfield Residents Association anywhere. Compare Cranston’s community association site, which carries the identical generic definition and then adds a sentence Copperfield’s page has no equivalent of: in Cranston, the amenities are run by the Cranston Residents Association. Copperfield’s page supplies no such confirming sentence for itself. Wikipedia corroborates no mention of an HOA, encumbrance, caveat or mandatory fee for Copperfield. Read together, that is an established absence rather than a simple failure to find something.

What does the Copperfield Community Association fee cover, and how do I reach it?

The $30 per household per year is voluntary, and the association operates a real set of facilities on it: tennis courts and a skating rink, a hockey rink, a main hall with 50 person capacity, two meeting rooms, a sound system and indoor fireplace, and a wheelchair accessible building. The association’s own site additionally references the hall as available for rental, outdoor rinks, a community garden planning committee and ongoing programs and classes. Contact details on file are 6 Copperstone Way SE, Calgary, AB T2Z 0E7, phone (403) 532-8864, email info@mycopperfield.ca.

Why does Copperfield's average sale price sit below the median?

A median only marks a position: whichever sale ranks exactly in the middle of the list is the median, no matter how far the rest of the list stretches above or below it. A mean is different. It adds up the actual dollar figure of every sale and divides by the count, so it moves with where the dollars really sit. In Copperfield the mean, $479,750, lands $20,250 below the median of $500,000, and the segment table explains why. Detached sits fairly close to the community median, at $590,000, only $90,000 above it. Row and townhouse and apartment sales sit much further below it, at $391,000 and $263,500, and together those two segments are 142 of Copperfield’s 303 sales, just under half the market. With the segment above the median sitting close to it and the segments below it sitting much further away, and carrying nearly half the sales, the dollar total behind the mean settles under the sale that ranks in the exact middle.

What schools serve Copperfield?

Copperfield School, kindergarten through grade 5, sits inside the community at 54 Copperstone Rd SE and is the CBE elementary designation for every address tested here, returning at all ten interior coordinates on both a first and an independent second run in August 2026. Grade 6 through 9 is Dr. Martha Cohen School, at 116 Brightondale Park SE, which sits just across the community line in New Brighton but is the CBE middle school designation for a Copperfield address, also returning at every coordinate on both runs. Senior high is Lord Beaverbrook High School, at 9019 Fairmount Dr SE in Acadia, well outside Copperfield’s own boundary, and it is also the senior high designation for Douglasdale/Glen and New Brighton. On the Catholic side, St. Isabella School, at 855 Copperfield Blvd SE, holds the CSSD designation at both elementary and junior high, inside the community, with no split at either tier. Its own district record carries a caution about limited resources and enrolment waitlists. Senior high on the Catholic side is Bishop O’Byrne High School, at 333 Shawville Blvd SE in Shawnessy, which designates on its own for a Copperfield address. Attendance areas above reflect the 2025/2026 school year, and both boards reset and review designations annually, so confirm a specific address with CBE’s Find a School tool and the CSSD school finder before you commit to a purchase.

Is St. Isabella School accepting new students?

Check before assuming so. CSSD’s own attendance-area record for St. Isabella School carries a note, stated plainly rather than softened here: St. Isabella has limited resources and facilities, and the district asks families to call the school directly to discuss enrolment and waitlist options. St. Isabella is the CSSD designation for Copperfield at both elementary and junior high, returning at every interior coordinate tested across two independent runs in August 2026, so the designation itself is not in question. What is in question is whether a seat is available in the year a family needs one, and that is a call to the school rather than an assumption from the designation.

How do I get around Copperfield without a car?

No CTrain line and no MAX or BRT stop sits inside Copperfield’s boundary. The City of Calgary’s own transit stop dataset lists four active routes serving the community. Route 153 Copperfield is the community’s own regular local route. Route 151 New Brighton Express is an express route with some stops inside Copperfield, including Copperfield Boulevard at Copperfield Manor SE. Route 23 52 St E runs along the community’s western edge. Route 717 Beaverbrook/Copperfield is categorised by the City as a school route, timed to school bell schedules and feeding Lord Beaverbrook High School, so it is not a general commute option. Reaching Bus Rapid Transit or MAX service means connecting outside the community: Route 302, the Southeast/City Centre BRT, runs through neighbouring New Brighton, and Route 306, MAX Teal, runs through Douglasdale/Glen, but neither has a stop named for Copperfield inside it. A Copperfield resident reaches either service by riding Route 153 or Route 151 to a stop outside the community. The Green Line is not part of Copperfield’s transit picture, now or in any published plan. The City’s Green Line Stations page lists all ten stations of the Southeast Segment by name, and Copperfield is not among them; no Green Line station is planned in or adjacent to the community.

How long do homes take to sell in Copperfield?

The middle sale took 28 days over the twelve months to August 2026, and the arithmetic mean across all 303 sales was 40 days, which is the figure shown in the stat block at the top of this page. That gap runs the more familiar direction: a tail of slower moving listings pulling the average above the middle rather than below it. At the median, sellers held onto 98.11% of their asking price, giving up under two percent at the midpoint. Segment level timing figures were not available for this guide, so this page reports the community wide pair only.
