Palliser

Overview

Palliser sits on the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir in SW Calgary, broadly bounded by 90 Avenue SW and South Glenmore Park to the north, Anderson Road and Southland Drive to the south, 14 Street SW to the east, and 24 Street SW and the Oakridge boundary to the west. The postal code is T2V. The community produced 62 residential sales in the trailing twelve months, with the price range running from $185,000 for a 1-bedroom Paliswood Road bungalow-style townhouse unit to $1,147,500 for a fully renovated two-storey on Palisan Place SW.

The community built out in two main waves separated by roughly twenty years. The original 1967-1979 wave produced the bulk of the housing stock: bungalows, bi-levels, and four-level splits along Palliser Drive, Palisade Drive, Palisan Place, and Palistone Road; the Oakmoor Drive townhouse complex on the southwestern edge; and the 2425 90 Avenue SW apartment building on the northern edge of the community. A second 1989-1996 wave added the Palisbriar Park and Palermo Way semi-detached attached-bungalow cluster, the 9449 19 Street SW apartment building, and the Paliswood Road condominium complex. There has been almost no construction in Palliser since 2004, which means buyers are essentially choosing between original-vintage product, partially updated mid-1990s product, and a small inventory of comprehensively renovated examples at the top of the detached range.

The defining geographic feature is the Glenmore Reservoir to the immediate north, with South Glenmore Park sitting between the community and the water. South Glenmore Park is approximately 1 km from most Palliser addresses and offers waterfront pathways, tennis courts, an aquatic playground, and the Glenmore Sailing School, with trail connections that loop around the reservoir to North Glenmore Park and the Weaselhead Natural Area. Heritage Park is a short drive east via Heritage Drive, and the Heritage LRT station on the Red Line is the closest rapid transit, roughly 8 to 10 minutes by car or bus.

David’s take

The vibe

Palliser has the daily rhythm of an established south-Glenmore family community whose commercial life happens at the surrounding shopping nodes rather than internally. There is no commercial strip inside Palliser; for groceries and daily errands, residents drive to Glenmore Landing across the reservoir at 90 Avenue and 14 Street SW (Co-op, liquor store, restaurants, professional services), the Southland Crossing strip along Southland Drive south of the community, the Chinook Centre regional mall on Macleod Trail eight to ten minutes east, or the Oak Bay Plaza and Westhills clusters to the west. The community is small enough and central enough that most of these options are within five to ten minutes by car.

The Palliser Bayview Pumphill (PBP) Community Association serves the three communities collectively, with seasonal programming, a community garden, and an annual stampede breakfast. The PBP Association is one of the longer-running south Calgary community associations, with deep ties to long-tenured residents. The demographic skews to two recognisable groups: original owners and their adult children (families who bought into Palliser in the 1970s and either stayed or saw the next generation buy back when an estate listing came up), and a steady inflow of younger families purchasing 1960s-70s bungalows and split-levels as renovation projects, drawn by the school designations, the South Glenmore Park access, and the price gap to the reservoir’s north shore in Lakeview.

The South Glenmore Park trail system is the defining outdoor amenity for Palliser as much as for Oakridge. The pathway runs along the reservoir’s south shore and connects east toward Heritage Park and west toward the Weaselhead Natural Area, one of the most intact riparian ecosystems inside Calgary’s city limits. The Glenmore Sailing School operates out of the south shore through the summer; the Calgary Rowing Club is a short pathway ride to the northeast. For Palliser residents on the northern blocks along 90 Avenue SW, Palisbriar Park SW, or the upper Palisade Drive cul-de-sacs, the park entrance is a five-to-ten minute walk.

Recent sales

The Pillar 9 MLS feed shows 62 residential sales in Palliser over the trailing twelve months through May 2026 (excluding a single commercial-retail transaction).

Schools

Palliser sits at the centre of one of the most stable school catchments in SW Calgary. Nellie McClung School at 2315 Palliser Drive SW is the CBE K-6 designated elementary, located inside the Palliser community boundary itself and walkable from many of the interior cul-de-sacs. Nellie McClung serves Palliser along with Oakridge, Bayview, and Pump Hill. The school is the same designated elementary referenced in many Oakridge listings, which is one of the strongest signals of the shared catchment between the two communities.

The CBE 7-9 junior high designation is John Ware School at 10020 19 Street SW, on the eastern edge of the community across 19 Street SW. John Ware opened in 1968 and has served the Palliser, Bayview, and Pump Hill (PBP) catchment for nearly six decades, which is one of the longer-running designation patterns in the CBE system. The school is approximately 4 to 6 minutes by car from most Palliser addresses, with bus service for the western and southern blocks. The senior high designation is Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School at 220 Canterbury Drive SW in Bayview, which serves Palliser along with Oakridge, Bayview, Pump Hill, Cedarbrae, Canyon Meadows, Woodbine, and Woodlands. Scarlett offers an International Baccalaureate program option in addition to the regular pathway and pulls from a broad south Calgary catchment. The school resource page lists the broader SW Calgary school inventory if you want to compare options.

For Catholic families, St. Gerard School at 8944 Elbow Drive SW in Haysboro is the CSSD K-6 designated elementary, with St. Cyril in Cedarbrae handling the junior high years and Our Lady of the Rockies High School at 111 Haddon Road SW in Haysboro (formerly Bishop Grandin) handling Catholic senior high. CBE and CSSD boundaries can be updated between planning cycles; verify the current designation for your specific address with the appropriate Find a School tool before relying on it for purchasing decisions.

Getting around

Palliser has a commute story shaped by its position south of the reservoir between 14 Street SW and 24 Street SW, with two arterials doing most of the work. 14 Street SW runs along the eastern flank of the community and connects north via the 50 Avenue SW corridor to the Glenmore Trail interchange and the inner SW, and south to the Anderson Road interchange and the Macleod Trail corridor. Anderson Road forms the southern boundary indirectly via Southland Drive and provides east-west access across the south side of the city, including direct connection to Macleod Trail and Deerfoot Trail at the Anderson interchange. Heritage Drive runs along the northern edge of the community at 90 Avenue SW and provides the most direct route to the Heritage LRT station and the Macleod Trail corridor.

By car, downtown is approximately 17 minutes outside peak hours via 14 Street north and the Bow Trail or Crowchild corridor. Foothills Medical Centre is approximately 15 minutes via the same route, and the University of Calgary runs about 20 minutes north on Crowchild. Calgary International Airport is the longest trip at approximately 37 minutes via Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail. Mount Royal University is approximately 10 minutes east via Heritage Drive and 14 Street, and Rockyview General Hospital is a similar distance via 14 Street south.

For commuters using transit, Palliser does not have direct LRT walk-up access. The Heritage LRT station on the Red Line is the closest rapid transit, approximately 8 to 10 minutes by car or bus via Heritage Drive and 14 Street SW. Southland LRT to the south is a similar distance and offers an alternate Red Line entry point. From either station, downtown is a further 18 to 22 minutes by train, putting the door-to-door transit commute at roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Calgary Transit bus routes connect to both Heritage and Southland LRT stations plus crosstown service to the Westhills and Chinook commercial nodes. The community is car-oriented in practice, but the LRT proximity is meaningfully better than from west-side SW communities like Discovery Ridge where the closest station is the 69 Street Blue Line.

Property mix

Townhouse and apartment product together represent 69 percent of trailing-year sales in Palliser, an inversion of the typical SW family-community profile where detached usually leads. The townhouse segment is dominated by a single complex: the Oakmoor Drive complex along the southwestern edge at 2210, 2225, 2300, and 2323 Oakmoor Drive SW produced 21 of the 23 townhouse sales in the trailing year. The complex is 1976-vintage, with a mix of 4-level split, 5-level split, and 2-storey layouts in the 1,140 to 1,400 sq ft range. Most are 2-3 bedroom units with attached or surface parking, trading in a tight $375K to $510K band with one larger end-unit reaching $550K. The complex represents the working entry point into the community.

The detached segment splits into two readable cohorts. The 1967-1979 cohort produced the bulk of the inventory: bungalows, bi-levels, and four-level splits on Palliser Drive, Palisade Drive, Palisan Place, Palistone Road, and 98 Avenue SW. These trade $670K to $865K for original product and $865K to $990K for partially updated examples, with the renovated 9611 Palisan Place sale at $1,147,500 the renovated ceiling. Lots are typically 50 to 60 feet wide. The Palisade Drive two-storey cluster at 2300-2400 Palisade is the only meaningful concentration of original two-storey product: three 1968-1969 two-storeys traded in the trailing year between $788K and $990K.

The semi-detached segment is the most distinctive in Palliser. Five attached-bungalow sales in the trailing twelve months in the Palisbriar Park, Palisprior Road, and Palermo Way cluster on the western side, all 1989-1992 vintage, all full-size attached-bungalow product (1,400 to 2,400 sq ft, 3-4 bedrooms, attached double garages), with several units on the southwestern slope including walk-out basements with downtown-facing decks. The cluster traded $744K to $1,110K and produced the highest sale-to-list pressure in the community. The apartment segment runs across three buildings at three price tiers: 2425 90 Avenue SW (1980, $282K-$370K), 9449 19 Street SW (1993, $340K-$455K), and 2144 Paliswood Road SW (1995, $370K-$528K).

Frequently asked questions

What schools serve Palliser in Calgary?

The CBE designated K-6 elementary for Palliser is Nellie McClung School at 2315 Palliser Drive SW, which sits inside the Palliser community boundary itself and also serves Oakridge, Bayview, and Pump Hill. The CBE 7-9 designated junior high is John Ware School at 10020 19 Street SW, which has served the Palliser-Bayview-Pumphill (PBP) catchment for nearly six decades. The CBE 10-12 designated senior high is Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School at 220 Canterbury Drive SW, which offers an International Baccalaureate program option. For Catholic families, St. Gerard at 8944 Elbow Drive SW in Haysboro is the K-6 designated elementary, St. Cyril in Cedarbrae handles the junior high years, and Our Lady of the Rockies (formerly Bishop Grandin) at 111 Haddon Road SW handles senior high. CBE and CSSD boundaries can change; verify the current designation for your specific address before purchasing.

Is Palliser close to Glenmore Reservoir and Heritage Park?

Yes. Palliser sits on the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir, with South Glenmore Park forming the immediate northern edge of the community. The park provides waterfront pathways, tennis courts, an aquatic playground, and the Glenmore Sailing School. From most Palliser addresses, the South Glenmore Park trail entrance is a five-to-ten minute walk via 90 Avenue SW or the upper Palisade Drive cul-de-sacs, with the reservoir-loop pathway connecting east toward Heritage Park and west toward North Glenmore Park and the Weaselhead Natural Area. Heritage Park itself is approximately 8 minutes east by car via Heritage Drive, and the Heritage LRT station on the Red Line sits at the same junction. The combination of reservoir adjacency and Heritage Park proximity is one of the daily-life advantages of the community.

How does Palliser compare to Oakridge or Bayview?

Oakridge sits immediately west of Palliser across 24 Street SW. The two communities share Nellie McClung K-6, John Ware 7-9, and Dr. EP Scarlett 10-12, plus the South Glenmore Park pathway and the same late-1960s through 1970s construction era. The differences are scale and inventory. Oakridge produced 100 sales in the trailing twelve months versus Palliser’s 62, with a deeper bungalow inventory and a wider townhouse spread. Palliser has fewer cul-de-sacs, less internal traffic, and the Palisade Drive two-storey cluster as a product type Oakridge does not really have. Bayview sits immediately east across 14 Street SW and is a smaller community with a higher detached median and a more affluent demographic. Buyers comparing the three usually weight Oakridge for value, Palliser for the smaller-community feel, and Bayview for the price step up.

How long is the commute from Palliser to downtown Calgary?

By car, approximately 17 minutes outside peak hours via 14 Street SW north and the Bow Trail or Crowchild corridor. Morning rush hour can extend that to 28 to 38 minutes. Palliser does not have direct LRT walk-up access; the Heritage LRT station on the Red Line is the closest rapid transit, approximately 8 to 10 minutes east by car or bus via Heritage Drive. From the Heritage platform, downtown is a further 18 to 22 minutes by train, putting a door-to-door transit commute at roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Most Palliser residents commute by car, with 14 Street SW handling the north-south traffic and Anderson Road plus Stoney Trail providing the ring road alternative.

What's the housing stock like in Palliser, bungalows or two-storey homes?

Palliser is bungalow and split-level heavy, with a small but distinctive two-storey concentration. Of the 14 detached sales in the trailing twelve months, the breakdown was roughly 5 bungalows, 4 two-storeys, 3 bi-levels, and 2 four-level splits. The bungalow stock is concentrated on Palliser Drive, Palistone Road, Palisan Place, and 98 Avenue SW, generally 1967-1970 vintage on 50 to 60-foot lots, 1,100 to 1,500 square feet above grade with full basements and attached garages. The two-storey product is concentrated on Palisade Drive (the 2300-2400 block) and Palisan Place, also 1968-1970 vintage in the 1,900 to 2,000 sq ft range. There is also a meaningful 1989-1992 attached-bungalow cluster in the Palisbriar/Palermo pocket that functions as a semi-detached substitute. Almost no construction since 2004, so buyers are choosing between original product and a small inventory of renovated examples.

How close is Palliser to the Heritage LRT or Anderson LRT?

The Heritage LRT station on the Red Line is the closest rapid transit, approximately 8 to 10 minutes east of Palliser by car or bus via Heritage Drive and 14 Street SW. Anderson LRT and Southland LRT to the south are both within 10 minutes by car and offer alternate Red Line entry points. Calgary Transit bus routes serve the community with connections to all three Red Line stations, plus crosstown service to the Westhills and Chinook commercial nodes. Walk-up access to the LRT itself is not available from Palliser addresses, but the Red Line proximity is meaningfully better than from west-side SW communities where the closest station is the 69 Street Blue Line. For buyers who use transit occasionally rather than daily, the bus-and-train combination through Heritage works well.

What's the price range for homes in Palliser?

In the trailing twelve months, residential sales in Palliser ranged from $185,000 for a 1-bedroom bungalow-style townhouse unit at 2212 Paliswood Road SW to $1,147,500 for a comprehensively renovated 1969 two-storey on Palisan Place SW. The detached median was $782,000, with the original-vintage cohort trading $670K to $865K and partially updated examples trading $865K to $990K. The townhouse median was $412,000, dominated by the 1976-built Oakmoor Drive complex. The apartment median was $385,000, split across three buildings at distinct price tiers. The semi-detached attached-bungalow median was $839,000, with the cluster running $744K to $1,110K. For a current valuation grounded in comparable-anchored data, the home valuation request form pulls in your address and produces an estimate from me directly. The first-time buyer guide walks through the FHSA, RRSP HBP, and CMHC tier mechanics that affect the actual budget for a Palliser apartment or townhouse purchase.

Are there parks or pathways within Palliser?

Palliser has internal pathway connections plus immediate South Glenmore Park access on the northern boundary. The internal network ties the residential pockets together with playgrounds at Palliser Park and several smaller green spaces. The bigger amenity is what sits across 90 Avenue SW on the north edge: the South Glenmore Park trail system, with waterfront pathways, tennis courts, an aquatic playground, the Glenmore Sailing School, and trail connections that loop around the reservoir to North Glenmore Park, the Weaselhead Natural Area, and east toward Heritage Park. For households whose weekend life is organised around reservoir running, off-leash dog walking, or sailing, Palliser has park access measured in minutes rather than the cross-city drive that most SW communities require.
