Pine Creek Real Estate. David Stephen, Calgary REALTOR.

Overview

Pine Creek fills the wedge between Macleod Trail and the CPKC rail line at the city’s south edge, directly west of Legacy, part of the West Macleod growth area. It was developed by Anthem United, part of Anthem Properties, with the higher-end Creekstone Hill phase developed by Brookfield Residential, and it has been actively selling since at least 2019. The community is bounded by 210 Avenue SW to the south and Macleod Trail SW to the east, with the CPKC rail corridor running along its western flank and Silverado meeting it to the north.

One point matters up front, because it is easy to get wrong. Sirocco and Creekstone are phases within Pine Creek, not separate neighbouring communities; the City, the school boards, and the MLS system all treat the whole area as a single community called Pine Creek. That is why a Creekstone Hill estate home and a Sirocco townhouse show up under the same community name.

Pine Creek is still very much under construction. CBE’s 2026 school capital plan, the best independent measure available, puts the community at roughly 42% built out, planned for about 2,327 homes and a population capacity near 7,400 at full build-out. Practically speaking, a buyer today is stepping into a community a little under halfway to complete, with fresh housing and a growing population, but with school sites still unbuilt and no retail of its own yet. The reason to look closely is the housing mix, which tilts toward detached homes more heavily than any of the other new far-south communities and spans a remarkably wide range of them. What follows walks through how that plays out in the market, the schools, and the amenities.

David’s take

David's take

Pine Creek is the most detached-led of the new far-south communities, and that single fact should reorder how you shop it. Of 106 sales in the past twelve months, 67 were detached, about 63%, and not one apartment traded. This is a house community, not a mixed one.

But the word “detached” hides how much ground it covers here. The detached median sat at $749,950, and the same community’s top sale was $1,625,000 on Creekstone Hill, the Brookfield-built phase at the high end of Pine Creek. That is an unusually wide detached band inside one community. A buyer who says “I want new detached in the far south” has not actually narrowed anything, because in Pine Creek alone the detached choice runs from entry homes below the median up to estate product at more than double it.

The width is the whole point. Below the detached homes sit townhouses, 20 sales at a $468,000 median, and semi-detached homes, 19 sales around $560,000, and the community’s overall floor this year was $429,000. So before you ever leave Pine Creek you are looking at genuinely different products at genuinely different price levels. The comparables that price a Creekstone Hill estate home tell you nothing about an entry townhouse, and the reverse is just as true.

What that means in practice is simple: name your product before you name your budget. “Detached in Pine Creek” is not a market, it is a range that runs from below the $749,950 median up to the $1,625,000 top. The right comparables are the homes in your phase and your size.

The vibe

At roughly 42% built out as of 2026, Pine Creek is a community caught mid-build: show homes are still open, crews are still working, and the recently planted landscaping has yet to fill in. Everything here is new, so the streetscapes have the raw, unsettled look of a neighbourhood only about halfway to finished. Because the community leans so heavily toward detached and townhome product, with no apartment stock, the feel is more single-family and settled-suburban than the denser mixed new builds, and the Creekstone Hill phase gives one part of Pine Creek a distinctly higher-end, estate character.

The green space is already a genuine feature rather than a promise. Pine Creek has three parks, a wetland, and a storm pond, tied together by a connected pathway system that follows the Pine Creek waterway and its environmental-reserve corridor. For a community still filling in, that natural amenity network is one of its stronger present-day draws, giving residents real pathways and open space rather than only future ones.

For day-to-day shopping, Pine Creek is still in its early phase and has no retail of its own; the developer’s own community comparison marks in-community retail as not present here. Residents drive a few minutes to established centres nearby, with Silverado Marketplace closest, the Gates of Walden a little further, and Shawnessy Village around twelve minutes away by car for groceries and daily essentials. That is normal for a community at this stage, and it is the trade-off that comes with buying new this far south.

Housing stock

Pine Creek’s defining feature as a market is how detached-led it is, and how wide that detached segment runs. Detached homes made up about 63% of sales over the past year, a higher share than any of the other new far-south communities, and there were no apartment sales at all. Below the detached homes, the community carries a townhouse segment and a semi-detached segment, which together form its attached middle and its entry point, but the centre of gravity is clearly the house.

The range within the detached segment is the part worth understanding. A buyer can find entry-level detached product below the community’s detached median, and the same community also sells estate homes on the Creekstone Hill phase into seven figures. That spread, all under one community name, is why “detached in Pine Creek” describes a range rather than a single price. The table below sketches the typical price by type over the twelve months to July 2026. If you want help reading where a specific home or phase sits within these bands, the buyer’s guide is a good starting point.

Type	Typical price	Notes
Detached	$749,950	67 sales (about 63% of all sales in the community), up to the community high of $1,625,000 on the Creekstone Hill estate phase.
Row / townhouse	$468,000	20 sales. The most affordable segment and the attached middle of the market.
Semi-detached (half duplex)	$560,000	19 sales. Between the townhouse and detached rungs.
Apartment / condo	No sales	No apartment product traded in the past twelve months. Pine Creek is a house-and-townhome community.

Recent sales

Over the twelve months to July 2026, Pine Creek recorded 106 residential sales. The typical sold price was $682,450 and the average was $693,918, with homes spending about 59 days on market on average and selling at roughly 97.8% of list price. Detached homes made up about 63% of sales, with no apartments trading at all. Prices ran from a floor of $429,000 to a high of $1,625,000, the wide spread you would expect from a community that sells everything from entry townhomes to estate houses on Creekstone Hill.

David's take

One number stands out against the other new far-south communities: 59 days on market on average, the longest of the group, with sales closing around 97.8% of list. In a built-out neighbourhood those would read as a slightly soft market. In a community that is only about 42% built out, they mostly read as competition with the builders.

The reason is that a resale home here is not competing only with other resale homes. A buyer looking at a Pine Creek detached home or townhouse can also walk into a show home and order a brand-new one, or buy a builder’s quick-possession home in the next phase. That standing inventory sets a ceiling and stretches out timelines, which is most of why days on market run longer here than in a hot established market.

For a seller, that is the thing to plan around: part of your competition is the developer, and pricing and presentation have to account for a new home a street or two over. For a buyer, it is leverage worth understanding, especially in a community where the detached band is this wide. Reading a specific Pine Creek home against both the resale comparables in its own phase and the current builder pricing is exactly the read worth getting before you write an offer.

Schools

Pine Creek has CBE school sites reserved inside the community, but as of 2026 they have not been built, so every designated school currently sits outside Pine Creek. On the public side, CBE’s 2026 capital plan designates elementary students to Bridlewood School (K-6), about 8 km away, while the senior-high designation is Centennial High School (10-12) at 55 Sun Valley Blvd SE. The West Macleod cluster is split between Dr. E.P. Scarlett and Centennial, and Pine Creek addresses fall on the Centennial side of that split. The interim CBE junior-high designation is Samuel W. Shaw School at 115 Shannon Dr SW in Shawnessy.

On the Catholic side, CSSD serves the community through Father Whelihan School at 70 Sunmills Drive SE in Sundance for both the elementary and junior high years; the school lists Sirocco Pine Creek among the communities it accepts. Bishop O’Byrne High School at 500, 333 Shawville Blvd SE is the designated Catholic senior high, and from the 2027-28 school year CSSD moves Pine Creek to All Saints High School. CSSD has not drawn settled boundaries for an actively-building community, so confirm your specific address through the CSSD school finder.

Two things are worth keeping in mind. First, CBE’s 2026 Three-Year School Capital Plan, approved in March 2026, names a future Belmont/West Macleod High School, to be built in nearby Belmont and expected to open around 2031 or 2032, as the eventual senior-high pathway for this whole cluster, Pine Creek included; the current Centennial designation is very likely interim. Second, because this is a fast-growing area, CBE and CSSD designations are set by your specific address and reviewed annually, so confirm the current pathway for any address with the CBE Find a School and CSSD school-finder tools before you buy. For a broader overview of how Calgary school boundaries and programmes work, see the schools resource.

Bridlewood School

Public · K-6

CBE-designated elementary, located outside Pine Creek in Bridlewood, about 8 km away, per CBE's 2026 capital plan. Pine Creek's own CBE school sites are reserved but not yet built. Confirm the current designation for your specific address with the CBE Find a School tool before purchasing.

Centennial High School

Public · 10-12

CBE-designated senior high at 55 Sun Valley Blvd SE, outside Pine Creek in the Sun Valley area. Pine Creek sits on the Centennial side of the documented Scarlett/Centennial split across the West Macleod cluster. A future Belmont/West Macleod High School, approved to be built in Belmont and expected to open around 2031 or 2032, is likely to become the eventual pathway. Verify with the CBE Find a School tool.

Father Whelihan School

Catholic · K-9

CSSD Catholic school at 70 Sunmills Drive SE in Sundance, southeast of Pine Creek, designated for both the elementary and junior high years. The school lists Sirocco Pine Creek among the communities it accepts. CSSD has not drawn settled boundaries for an actively-building community, so verify the current designation with the CSSD school-finder tool before purchasing.

Getting around

Getting around Pine Creek means driving, for now, as you would expect of a new far-south neighbourhood still under construction. Most trips start on the arterial grid: Macleod Trail SW runs the east edge and 210 Avenue SW frames the south, connecting quickly to the Stoney Trail ring road for trips across the city. That grid also connects Pine Creek to the established deep-south communities north of it, including Silverado, Bridlewood, and Evergreen, where much of the area’s older retail and transit is concentrated.

Transit is the weaker part of the picture right now. No CTrain station serves Pine Creek, and the nearest is Somerset-Bridlewood Station, the current southern terminus of the Red Line, reached by car. Bus service into Pine Creek itself was not something this guide could confirm, so if transit is central to your commute, check calgarytransit.com for current routing to your specific address before you rely on it.

The longer horizon is the Red Line LRT South Extension the City is studying from Somerset-Bridlewood, and Pine Creek is named among the communities it is intended to eventually serve. The City’s own status is blunt: detailed design and construction are unfunded, with most plans estimated over the next 10 to 30 years. A long-range possibility, not a dated plan. And it is the Red Line down here, not the Green Line.

How long a given drive takes comes down to your exact address and the traffic on the day, and no verified figures were available for this guide. Because Pine Creek sits so far south, most cross-city trips head north on Macleod Trail or out to Stoney Trail, so pull up a live map for your own route and for destinations like downtown, the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, or the airport rather than leaning on a single estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pine Creek a good community to buy in?

Pine Creek suits buyers who want a brand-new detached or townhome in the far south and are comfortable growing with a community that is still filling in. It is roughly 42% built out as of 2026 per CBE’s capital plan, so it is a genuine construction-stage neighbourhood, with school sites reserved but unbuilt and no in-community retail yet. What sets it apart from the other new far-south communities is how detached-led it is: about 63% of last year’s sales were detached and no apartments traded at all, and the detached homes themselves cover a wide range, from entry product up to estate homes on the Creekstone Hill phase. If you want a house in a new community and can drive a few minutes for shopping in the near term, Pine Creek is one of the stronger options. If you need an apartment entry point or amenities already in place, look at a more built-out community first.

How much do homes cost in Pine Creek?

Over the twelve months to July 2026, the typical (median) sold price was $682,450 and the average was $693,918, with sales running from $429,000 to $1,625,000. That is a wide range, and it is driven by how much ground the detached segment covers. Detached homes had a typical price around $749,950 and made up about 63% of sales, running from below that price up to the community high of $1,625,000 on the Creekstone Hill estate phase. Below detached, townhouses had a typical price around $468,000 and semi-detached homes around $560,000. No apartments sold in the past year. Because a single community here covers entry townhomes to seven-figure estate homes, the typical price describes a range rather than a single house. For a read on a specific property, a home valuation is the place to start.

What schools serve Pine Creek?

Pine Creek has CBE school sites reserved inside the community, but they are not yet built, so every designated school currently sits outside Pine Creek. On the public side, CBE’s 2026 capital plan designates Bridlewood School (K-6) about 8 km away for elementary, and the senior-high designation is Centennial High School (10-12) at 55 Sun Valley Blvd SE, Pine Creek falling on the Centennial side of the documented Scarlett-Centennial split across this cluster. The interim CBE junior-high designation is Samuel W. Shaw School in Shawnessy. On the Catholic side, CSSD serves the community through Father Whelihan School in Sundance to the southeast for both the elementary and junior high years, with Bishop O’Byrne High School for grades 10-12, changing to All Saints High School from the 2027-28 school year. Designations here are set by your specific address and reviewed annually, so confirm the current pathway with the CBE Find a School and CSSD school-finder tools before you buy.

Does Pine Creek have shopping and amenities?

Not inside the community yet. Pine Creek has three parks, a wetland and storm pond, a playground, and a connected pathway system that follows the Pine Creek waterway corridor, but no in-community retail, which the developer’s own comparison marks as not present for Pine Creek. For groceries and daily essentials, residents drive a few minutes to established centres nearby, with Silverado Marketplace closest, the Gates of Walden a little further, and Shawnessy Village about twelve minutes away by car. Longer-term plans referenced by the developer include a future City recreation centre and a larger commercial project along 210 Avenue SW, but those are not built. In practical terms, Pine Creek in 2026 is a place you live and drive out of for shopping, with more expected to arrive as the area fills in.

How does Pine Creek compare to the other new far-south communities?

Pine Creek, Belmont, and Yorkville are all new far-south communities in the same West Macleod growth area, but Pine Creek is not adjacent to the other two; Belmont and Yorkville sit side by side to the northwest, across Sheriff King Street SW from each other. The three are not identical products either. Pine Creek is the most detached-led of the group, with about 63% of sales detached, no apartments, and a detached band that runs all the way up to estate homes on Creekstone Hill, so its typical buyer is buying a house. Belmont, by contrast, offers the widest price ladder and the lowest entry point, with a deep apartment and townhome base. Yorkville sits between the two on mix. Pine Creek’s immediate neighbour is Silverado to the north, the older, built-out community, and Legacy to the east. If you are shopping new detached in the far south, it is worth comparing all of them, because even within Pine Creek alone you are choosing among several different products.
