Edgemont

Overview

Edgemont recorded 163 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026, across all four home types. Detached houses were 120 of those sales, 73.6% of the market, at a typical price of $809,250. Eighteen apartments sold at a typical $217,500, 13 row and townhouse homes at $560,000 and 12 semi-detached homes at $499,000.

Set beside Citadel and Hawkwood over the same twelve months, Edgemont was the busiest and the priciest of the three: 163 sales to Citadel’s 133 and Hawkwood’s 86, and a typical price of $735,000 to Hawkwood’s $700,000 and Citadel’s $635,000. It is also the only one of the three with enough apartment and semi-detached sales to put a reliable price on either.

The City dates the community and its ravine park to the late 1970s. The land came into Calgary in stages between 1961 and 1979, and Edgemont’s first residents, 332 of them, were counted in 1979. The boundary runs along Country Hills Boulevard NW on the north, with Hamptons across it, and Shaganappi Trail NW on the east and south-east, with MacEwan Glen and Nose Hill Park across. John Laurie Boulevard NW is the south-west edge, with Dalhousie across, and Sarcee Trail NW the west edge, with Hawkwood across. Citadel, Ranchlands, Brentwood and Hidden Valley meet it only at its corners. Every address is NW, the community sits in Ward 4, and its street-name families all begin with Ed, from Edcath and Edelweiss to Edgeridge and Edgewood.

Edgemont has no homeowners association fee. Its extra landscaping is paid for through a City tax on the property tax bill.

David’s take

The vibe

Edgemont went up mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, around ravines the City kept free of houses. Most of it is detached, most households own their homes, and residents move less often than Calgarians as a whole.

The ravines, the escarpment and the park next door

In the City’s words, “The network of ravines in the northwest section of the city are completely surrounded by the community of Edgemont.” The ravines, part of the drainage system from Nose Hill, “were carved by post-glacial runoff,” and when the community was planned the City “identified the ravines as inappropriate for building” and set them aside as Environmental Reserve. A wetland was built inside that reserve, a marsh the City calls “one of the first to be constructed as part of the water management scheme in a community development.”

The park has hiking trails, pathways, picnic tables, a playground, fitness equipment, a gazebo, and tennis and basketball courts. Its wildlife runs from white-tailed deer and coyotes to grey catbirds, brown thrashers and red-winged blackbirds. Indigenous people used the area for thousands of years, and archaeological work in the park has turned up a couple of campsites. The ravine parking lot is on the east side of Edgebrook Boulevard NW.

Along Shaganappi Trail in the south-east is a second City district park, Edgemont Escarpment, 80.1 hectares. Four City off-leash areas sit inside the community. The largest is a 73.8-hectare regional area at 40 Edelweiss Crescent NW, most of it inside the Edgemont Escarpment park, partly fenced along Shaganappi Trail and unfenced along Edgemont Boulevard. The other three are at 91 Edgepark Boulevard NW, 175 Edgedale Drive NW and 27 Edgedale Drive NW.

Nose Hill Park, across Shaganappi Trail, is not part of Edgemont. The Federation of Calgary Communities says Edgemont’s elevation leaves it more exposed to wind than the communities around it, and gives it views of the city and the mountains.

The landscaping is a City tax

Edgemont has no residents association, and owners pay no homeowners association fee. The City’s phrase for the extra upkeep is “enhanced landscape and boulevard maintenance,” and Edgemont pays for it through a special tax, levied by the City of Calgary on every residential property and printed as a separate line on each owner’s property tax bill. The City’s 2026 notice to Edgemont owners keeps it at $86.52 a year, “the same amount as in 2025.” The tax does not replace a condo fee: owners in a condo complex pay their condo corporation separately.

According to that notice, the tax was established in 2016, at the request of the Edgemont Community Association, after a community-wide petition gathered the support of two-thirds of property owners. It is an annual levy, so it needs a fresh Council bylaw every year. For 2026 that is Bylaw 2M2026, adopted on February 24, 2026.

The notice makes the association responsible for setting the rate and running the program. Any change it asks for is limited to five per cent a year, up or down, and applies only once Council approves it by bylaw. Every five years the tax goes back to owners in a reaffirmation vote, and the notice tells owners they “can initiate a petition to discontinue the levy.” The association wrote in November 2025 that there would be no reaffirmation vote that year, because the City had asked it to hold off until a City review of the special tax program was complete.

Citadel and Hawkwood pay the same kind of City tax. The City’s 2026 rates put it at $68.96 in Citadel and $79.94 in most of Hawkwood, so Edgemont’s $86.52 is the highest of the three.

Membership in the Edgemont Community Association is voluntary. The association’s own site puts it at $35 a year, or $20 for seniors, and members can vote at its meetings and run for its board.

The hall, the rink and the shops

The Edgemont Community Centre at 33 Edgevalley Circle NW shares its site with Edgemont School, and a facility share agreement with the school gives the association use of a junior-high-sized gymnasium. The association rents out rooms and a commercial kitchen. Its programs include before- and after-school care, summer camps, sports, arts, seniors’ activities and a Good Food Box.

Its boarded outdoor rink is in the park at the community’s south end, at 6911 Edgemont Drive NW. Volunteers flood it, the association pays for it and the City supplies the water, and it is free to use. Two of the community’s four City tennis courts are in the same park. Across Edgemont the City lists those four tennis courts, two basketball courts, 13 soccer fields and six ball diamonds. Fire Station 28 is at 7925 Edgemont Boulevard NW.

Day-to-day shopping is inside the boundary. One shopping area is on Country Hills Boulevard NW: a Real Canadian Superstore with a gas bar at 5251, and a centre at 5149 with a coffee shop, restaurants, a registry and a veterinary clinic among its tenants. Other centres at 34 Edgedale Drive NW, 45 Edenwold Drive NW and 8210 Edgebrook Drive NW hold pharmacies, restaurants, convenience stores and personal services between them, and there is a 7-Eleven at 35 Edenwold Drive NW. Edgemont Athletic, at 7222 Edgemont Boulevard NW, is a private fitness club with its own membership, not a City or association facility.

There is no City pool, arena or library inside Edgemont. Nose Hill Library, at 1530 Northmount Drive NW, is in Brentwood, as is the Sir Winston Churchill Aquatic and Recreation Centre at 1520 Northmount Drive NW. Crowfoot Library, at 8665 Nose Hill Drive NW, is in Arbour Lake.

Older, settled and mostly owners

The 2021 census counted 15,255 people in private households, and the City’s population series had peaked at 17,667 in 2003. People aged 65 or older made up 22% of residents, against 13% across Calgary. Owners held 84% of households (69% citywide), and only 40% of those owners carried a mortgage (65% citywide). Just 29% of residents had moved within the previous five years (42% citywide). Median total household income in 2020 was $121,000 ($98,000 citywide), and the average household was 2.9 people (2.6 citywide).

Housing stock

The 2021 census dates 46% of Edgemont’s occupied dwellings to 1981 to 1990 and 31% to 1991 to 2000, against 12% and 15% across Calgary. On the City’s assessment roll, building started in 1978 and tapered off by about 2002, with the Edgeridge streets among the last, and the community filled in broadly from the south-west toward the north-east. The homes that sold over the twelve months to August 2026 had a typical build year of 1988. Of Edgemont, Hawkwood (1989) and Citadel (1999), that is the oldest.

Single-detached houses were 81% of occupied dwellings in 2021 (55% citywide), with row houses and low-rise apartments at 7% each and semi-detached homes at 4%. The apartment condos are on Edenwold Heights NW and Edgeridge Terrace NW. Townhouse complexes are scattered through the community, with the most units on Edgeridge Terrace NW.

At a typical $809,250, Edgemont’s detached market was the priciest of the three communities, against $730,000 in Hawkwood and $665,000 in Citadel. Among the four home types, half the semi-detached homes sold within 18 days, the quickest, and half the apartments within 39, the slowest.

Type	Typical price	Notes
Detached	$809,250	120 sales (73.6% of all sales in the community) between $481,500 and $2,077,500. Half sold within 23 days. Typical build year 1986.
Row / townhouse	$560,000	13 sales between $410,000 and $896,500. Half sold within 21 days. Typical condo fee $512 a month, typical build year 1992.

Getting around

Four major roads make the edges: Country Hills Boulevard NW on the north, Shaganappi Trail NW on the east and south-east, John Laurie Boulevard NW on the south-west and Sarcee Trail NW on the west. Inside, Edgemont Boulevard NW is the one arterial road, running south-west to north-east through the middle, with Edgepark Boulevard, Edgebrook Drive, Edenwold Drive and Edgevalley Drive feeding it.

There is no CTrain station and no MAX stop inside Edgemont. Four regular bus routes tie it to Dalhousie Station on the Red Line. Route 54 Edgevalley and Route 154 Hamptons both loop from the station through Edgemont and Hamptons and back. Route 77 Edgemont runs from the station up 53 Street NW and through the community to a terminal on Edgebrook Rise NW. Route 129 Dalhousie Station/Sage Hill crosses Edgemont on Edgemont Boulevard and Edgepark Boulevard, then carries on north past Citadel and through Sherwood and Kincora to Sage Hill. Calgary Transit also runs school specials inside the community to Sir Winston Churchill, Tom Baines and St. Francis.

Timed from the middle of Edgemont in September 2026 with the roads empty, the drives came to 25 minutes and 16.0 kilometres to the Municipal Building downtown, 16 minutes and 10.5 kilometres to the University of Calgary, 17 minutes and 11.6 kilometres to Foothills Medical Centre, and 18 minutes and 13.4 kilometres to Calgary International Airport. Treat them as the shortest the trip will take. The route you would really drive, at the hour you would drive it, is the one worth timing yourself.

Schools

Edgemont’s designations are the same for every address on both boards, and three of the six schools stand inside the community.

As CBE publishes it in September 2026, an Edgemont address is designated to Edgemont School for kindergarten to grade 5, at 55 Edgevalley Circle NW, and to Tom Baines School for grades 6 to 9, at 250 Edgepark Boulevard NW, both inside the community. Senior high is Sir Winston Churchill High School, grades 10 to 12, at 5220 Northland Drive NW in Brentwood.

As CSSD publishes it in September 2026, Edgemont’s designated Catholic elementary school is Mother Mary Greene School, kindergarten to grade 6, at 115 Edenwold Drive NW inside the community. The designation moves out of Edgemont after grade 6: Brentwood’s St. Jean Brebeuf School, at 5030 Northland Drive NW, for grades 7 to 9, and Collingwood’s St. Francis High School, at 877 Northmount Drive NW, for grades 10 to 12. CSSD’s new high school boundaries for 2027-2028 keep Edgemont with St. Francis.

CBE’s 2026-2029 accommodation plan lists Edgemont School and Tom Baines School together as a project to balance enrolment between the two, with a decision anticipated for the 2027-2028 school year. Nothing has been decided.

Designations go with the address, and either board can change them for a later school year. Look up the house you’re buying with both boards’ tools, CBE’s Find a School and the CSSD school finder, while you still have conditions on the offer.

A specific house needs a home valuation.

Does Edgemont have a homeowners association fee?

No, and there is no residents association either. Edgemont’s extra landscaping is paid for with a City special tax on every residential property, and owners see it as a separate line on their property tax bills. In its 2026 notice to Edgemont owners, the City keeps it at $86.52 a year. It has been levied since 2016, following a petition with the support of two-thirds of Edgemont’s property owners, and each year it needs Council’s approval by bylaw. The Edgemont Community Association runs the program, and membership in the association is voluntary: $35 a year, or $20 for seniors. A condo fee on an apartment or townhouse is a separate charge from the tax, billed by each condo corporation to its own owners.

Can the Edgemont special tax change?

Yes, within limits. The City’s 2026 notice to owners keeps the rate at $86.52, the same as 2025’s. The Edgemont Community Association runs the program, and the City’s notice says it is responsible for setting the rate. Any change it asks for is limited to five per cent a year, up or down, and no new rate applies until Council approves it in that year’s bylaw. The 2026 bylaw, 2M2026, went through Council on February 24, 2026. Owners also get a reaffirmation vote every five years, and any owner can start a petition to have the tax discontinued. The association wrote in November 2025 that there would be no reaffirmation vote that year, because the City had asked it to hold off until a City review of the special tax program was complete.

Is Nose Hill Park part of Edgemont?

No. Nose Hill Park is its own City district, across Shaganappi Trail from Edgemont’s south-east side, and no part of it lies inside Edgemont. Edgemont’s own green space is the ravine network the City describes as completely surrounded by the community, the Edgemont Escarpment district park along Shaganappi Trail, and four City off-leash areas, the largest a 73.8-hectare regional area at 40 Edelweiss Crescent NW.

Which schools serve Edgemont?

As CBE publishes it in September 2026, every Edgemont address is designated to Edgemont School for kindergarten to grade 5 and Tom Baines School for grades 6 to 9, both inside the community, then Sir Winston Churchill High School for grades 10 to 12 in Brentwood. As CSSD publishes it in September 2026, Edgemont’s Catholic elementary designation is Mother Mary Greene School, kindergarten to grade 6, inside the community. From grade 7 the designated schools are outside Edgemont: St. Jean Brebeuf School, grades 7 to 9, in Brentwood, then St. Francis High School, grades 10 to 12, in Collingwood. CSSD’s new high school boundaries for 2027-2028 keep Edgemont with St. Francis. CBE’s 2026-2029 accommodation plan lists Edgemont School and Tom Baines School together as a project to balance enrolment between them, with a decision anticipated for the 2027-2028 school year. Either board’s own lookup, CBE’s Find a School or the CSSD school finder, will confirm a particular address.

Does Edgemont have a CTrain station?

No. Buses make the connection instead: Routes 54 Edgevalley, 77 Edgemont, 129 Dalhousie Station/Sage Hill and 154 Hamptons all run to Dalhousie Station on the Red Line, and MAX has no stop in Edgemont either. Route 77 ends at a terminal on Edgebrook Rise NW inside the community, and Route 129 carries on north past Citadel and through Sherwood and Kincora to Sage Hill.

How long do homes take to sell in Edgemont?

Over the twelve months to August 2026, half of Edgemont’s homes sold within 26 days, and sellers typically got 98.00% of their asking price. By type, half the semi-detached homes sold within 18 days, row and townhouse homes within 21, detached houses within 23 and apartments within 39. Edgemont’s homes took a little longer than Citadel’s and Hawkwood’s: half sold within 22 days in Citadel and 23 in Hawkwood.
