Overview
Every street in Coral Springs but one carries the word Coral: Coral Springs, Coral Shores, Coral Keys, Coral Reef, Coral Sands and Coral Cove, with 68 Street NE the exception. Coral Springs Boulevard NE runs a loop around a private lake in the middle. Almost all the homes in the community are detached houses, and most went up between 1991 and 2002.
68 Street NE is the west edge, with Falconridge across it, and McKnight Boulevard NE is the south edge, facing Monterey Park. Taradale is to the north, along 64 Avenue NE for the western part of that side and then across open corridor land. Stoney Trail NE runs along the southern half of the east side, and the rest of that side faces undeveloped land. Every address is NE, and the whole community is in Ward 10.
The lake and the park around it take up the centre. Inside the boundary there is also one school, an arena complex and a strip of shops. There is no supermarket, community hall, library or CTrain station.
David’s take
The vibe
The lake and its yearly fee
The lake covers 16 acres, and the Coral Springs Residents Association runs it from the beach house at 80 Coral Springs Boulevard NE. Around the water are a north beach and a south beach with marked shallow swimming areas, tennis and basketball courts and a beach volleyball area. The association lends rowboats, kayaks and pedal boats to members, and in winter it keeps two lit hockey rinks, a skating pad and a skating path around the lake.
None of it is public. The lake park is for members and their guests, and every member has to check in at the beach house first. A card covers up to three guests, larger groups need a booking, and the association’s rules keep out animals, glass, alcohol and bicycles. The association says there is never a lifeguard on duty at the swimming areas.
“Membership fees are mandatory and are due April 1st of every year,” the association says, and a 2024 notice added: “Lake fees are not optional.” Its 2026 invoices were scheduled to go out by email on April 1, with no increase over the year before. Listings for Coral Springs homes typically show the lake fee at $389.64 a year. For a budget, the number to use is the amount on the seller’s April 1 invoice from the association. In 2025 the association said it would charge interest and an admin fee on accounts still unpaid on May 1.
The condominium townhouses on Coral Cove NE pay condo fees to their own corporations. Whether a Coral Cove unit also carries the lake fee is a question for the seller and the condo documents before you buy. A condo fee, a lake fee and a community membership are three different charges, and homeowners association fees in Calgary explains each one.
The Coral Springs Community Association is a separate society, registered in 1993, and it has no building of its own. Joining it has nothing to do with the lake.
Built in the 1990s
The western part of Coral Springs came into the city in 1983 and the east side, along Stoney Trail, in 1989. The residents association was registered in 1991, the year the first houses went up. By the City’s count, 205 people lived here in 1992. Five years later there were 2,312, by 2001 there were 5,408, and the count topped out at 6,166 in 2006.
More houses went up in 1997 than in any other year, and only a handful are newer than 2002.
Households
At the 2021 census, 89% of Coral Springs households were owners, set against 69% for Calgary as a whole, and 63% of those owners were paying a mortgage (Calgary: 65%). That census put 5,610 people in about 1,510 private households, an average of 3.7 a household. Calgary’s average was 2.6. Households with five or more people made up 28% of them, compared with 10% citywide, and typical household income for 2020 was $121,000, against a Calgary figure of $98,000.
The same census found 8% of residents had moved in the previous year, against 14% across the city. Over the five years before the census, 21% had moved, against 42% citywide.
The Sportsplex, the fields and the Stoney Trail strip
The Don Hartman North East Sportsplex, at 5200 68 St NE, has two NHL-size ice rinks, a gym and a fitness area, and a not-for-profit society runs it. It shares a large City park site with Monsignor A.J. Hetherington School, and that site holds three of the community’s four soccer fields and one of its two ball diamonds. Playgrounds stand on six park sites.
About a third of the land inside the boundary is the Stoney Trail corridor along the east edge, a strip with no homes in it. It holds a dozen small ponds, a stretch of paved regional pathway on a City park site named the Coral Springs Greenway, and most of a fenced off-leash area that runs over the line into Taradale. That off-leash area has a separate fenced section for small dogs. The ground across the community is flat.
Shops and what is outside
The strip centre at 5 Coral Springs Boulevard NE, where the boulevard meets 68 Street, had a pharmacy, a physiotherapy clinic, a liquor store, a Circle K with fuel and several restaurants as of November 2026. There is no grocery store inside Coral Springs, so groceries mean a trip out of the community. As of November 2026, one option was the FreshCo on Saddletowne Circle NE in Saddle Ridge.
The Saddletowne Library, a YMCA and the Genesis Centre share one site on Falconridge Boulevard NE in Martindale. Across 68 Street, Falconridge has a regional off-leash area of its own and the community centre that Falconridge and Castleridge share.
Housing stock
Coral Springs is a community of detached houses. Of the occupied private dwellings here at the 2021 census, 92% were single-detached houses, where the Calgary share was 55%. Row houses were 1%. The only condominium homes are the townhouses on Coral Cove NE, which sit in four condominium plans. There are no apartment buildings.
Nearly all the houses date from 1991 to 2002, and the typical one was built in 1997. A typical lot is about 4,800 square feet. The streets with the most houses are Coral Springs Boulevard and Coral Springs Circle NE, with Coral Shores Drive NE, Coral Keys View NE and Coral Springs Close NE next.
Some of the houses on Coral Springs Landing NE, Coral Springs Boulevard and the Coral Shores streets back onto the lake park. That park includes pathway and green space as well as water, so what a particular back yard faces is something to see in person.
More than 100 development permit applications for secondary suites have gone to the City from Coral Springs since 2015. A house with a basement suite comes with its own paperwork to check: the seller’s permits for the suite, and the lot on the City’s map for what its land-use district allows.

|---|---|---|
| Detached | $682,500 | 26 |

Getting around
Coral Springs Boulevard NE is the loop through the community, and it meets 68 Street NE at two points, one toward the south end and one toward the north.
Route 21 Castleridge and Route 55 Falconridge both travel the boulevard loop, every day of the week, in opposite directions. Route 70 runs along 68 Street NE, with its northbound stops on the Coral Springs side and the southbound ones across the road in Falconridge. There is no CTrain station in Coral Springs. Saddletowne Station, in Saddle Ridge, and Martindale Station are the two closest.
Anyone studying or working at the University of Calgary has a 30-minute drive to campus from the middle of Coral Springs, without traffic, as of November 2026. The hospital beside the campus, Foothills Medical Centre, comes in at 31. Getting to the Municipal Building downtown takes 25 minutes, and to Calgary International Airport 19.

Schools
Every address in Coral Springs has one set of designated schools on each board. Public students leave the community from kindergarten on, and Catholic students stay inside it through grade 6.
As CBE publishes it in November 2026, every Coral Springs address is designated to Chief Justice Milvain School (3428 42 St NE) for kindergarten to grade 6 and Annie Gale School (577 Whiteridge Way NE) for grades 7 to 9, both in Whitehorn. There is no CBE school building in Coral Springs. A family can also apply to the Traditional Learning Centre at either Whitehorn school. That is a choice programme, and it sits apart from the designation.
For grades 10 to 12, the CBE designation is Crescent Heights High School, at 1019 1 St NW in Crescent Heights. James Fowler High School held that role until a CBE notice of December 11, 2025 changed it, starting with the 2026-27 school year. A student in grade 10 or 11 at James Fowler at the time could stay there to graduate.
As CSSD publishes it in November 2026, Monsignor A.J. Hetherington School (4 Coral Springs Blvd NE) takes every Coral Springs address from kindergarten through grade 6. St. John XXIII School, over 68 Street in Falconridge at 1420 Falconridge Drive NE, follows for grades 7 to 9. Grades 10 to 12 are at Bishop McNally High School, in Falconridge as well, at 5700 Falconridge Blvd NE. The board’s 2027-2028 high school boundaries do not move Coral Springs away from Bishop McNally.

Frequently asked questions
What do homes sell for in Coral Springs?
In the twelve months to August 2026, 30 detached houses sold at a typical $680,000, between $530,000 and $940,000, and half sold within 48 days. Two other sales were not detached houses. All 32 sales together came to a typical $677,500, with the middle half between $630,000 and $730,000. A house of your own is better priced with a home valuation than with a community figure.
Can anyone use the lake in Coral Springs?
No. The Coral Springs Residents Association runs the lake, its two beaches and the beach house for its members and their guests. Owners get a lake card at the association’s office, a member can bring up to three guests per card, and the association does not allow animals in the lake park. It also says there is never a lifeguard on duty.
Is there a lake fee in Coral Springs?
Yes. The Coral Springs Residents Association says its membership fees are mandatory and due on April 1 of every year, and it bills owners by invoice. Listings for Coral Springs homes typically show the lake fee at $389.64 a year, and the association said there was no increase for 2026. Ask the seller for the association’s April 1 invoice, which shows the amount, and on a Coral Cove townhouse, ask whether the unit carries the lake fee alongside its condo fee. The Coral Springs Community Association is a different group, with no hall.
Which schools serve Coral Springs?
Neither board divides the community. As CBE publishes it in November 2026, every address goes to Chief Justice Milvain School for kindergarten to grade 6 and Annie Gale School for grades 7 to 9, both in Whitehorn, then Crescent Heights High School. There is no CBE school in Coral Springs. Catholic students, as CSSD publishes it in November 2026, start at Monsignor A.J. Hetherington School inside Coral Springs, followed by St. John XXIII School for grades 7 to 9 and Bishop McNally High School for grades 10 to 12, both in Falconridge.
Is there a CTrain station in Coral Springs?
No. Saddletowne Station, in Saddle Ridge, and Martindale Station are the two closest. Route 21 Castleridge and Route 55 Falconridge both run around the loop on Coral Springs Boulevard NE every day of the week, and Route 70 runs along 68 Street NE.
Does Coral Springs have a grocery store or a community hall?

The strip centre at 5 Coral Springs Boulevard NE had a pharmacy, a gas station, a liquor store and several restaurants as of November 2026, and a FreshCo was open on Saddletowne Circle NE in Saddle Ridge. The Coral Springs Community Association has no building, and the lake’s beach house is the residents association’s, for its members.
How old are the homes in Coral Springs?
Nearly all the houses were built from 1991 to 2002, and more went up in 1997 than in any other year. Homes sold in the twelve months to August 2026 were typically 1998 builds.
