Overview
Rundle is a square of NE Calgary, about as deep as it is wide, closed in by four main roads. 32 Avenue NE runs along the north, with Whitehorn on the far side. Pineridge faces it across 52 Street NE on the east. On the south, 16 Avenue NE doubles as the Trans-Canada Highway, with Marlborough across it, and the Sunridge commercial district lies west over 36 Street NE. Its addresses all end in NE, and it sits wholly within Ward 10.
Street names here are mostly Rundle plus a second word: Rundleridge, Rundleside, Rundleview, Rundlecairn, Rundlewood and seven more, with numbered streets and avenues filling in. Rundlehorn Drive NE carries on east into Pineridge, so a Rundlehorn address is not always a Rundle one. Nearly every home went up between 1973 and 1979, detached houses for the most part, with ten condominium townhouse complexes and a smaller run of half-duplexes.
Rundle Station on the Blue Line stands at the west edge, and the community hall and five school buildings sit inside the four roads. The City’s NEF 25 airport noise contour takes in the west side along 36 Street.
David’s take
The vibe
The hall on 50 Street
The Rundle Community Centre is at 2409 50 St NE, run by the Rundle Community Association, which was registered in January 1979. Its grounds take in St. Rose of Lima School as well. The association rents out a main hall and a lounge, and the Summit Pub in the building is open to the whole family until 9 PM, after which it is for adults 18 and over. Outside, the association keeps a rink for members, and there are tennis courts on the same grounds.
The association holds its annual general meeting at the end of May, and its newsletter is Rundle Rumbles. A membership is $15 a year, bought online, and it is optional. Whitehorn, Pineridge and Marlborough each run a hall of their own, and Rundle’s association covers the area inside its four roads.
Fields, a toboggan hill and the off-leash area
Rundle’s open space is mostly school grounds, plus green strips between the streets. Most of its seven ball diamonds and all four soccer fields are on the school grounds and around the hall, and the City lists a toboggan hill in the park beside Rundle School. Fifteen park sites have playground equipment.
The off-leash area is in the south, off Rundleridge Drive NE beside 16 Avenue, at about 1.6 hectares. Chain-link fencing runs along part of the highway side, so dogs are not fenced in all the way round. A regional pathway crosses the community, and there is no creek, pond or wetland.
Built in the 1970s
The City annexed the land in 1961, and its first residents were counted in 1974: 129 people in 37 homes. There were 2,232 by 1975, 5,837 by 1977 and 10,772 by 1980. The count peaked at 11,958 in 1998. The Federation of Calgary Communities gives 1973 as the year Rundle was established, the year the first big run of houses was built.
Who lives here, by the numbers
At the 2021 census, Rundle had 3,405 households, and they averaged 3.1 people, where Calgary’s figure was 2.6. Households of five or more made up 21% of them (Calgary: 10%). Owners held 71% of homes against 69% citywide, and 54% of those owners were still paying a mortgage, below Calgary’s 65%. Households had a typical income of $83,000 in 2020, against $98,000 across Calgary.
Small strips inside, big stores outside
The shopping inside Rundle is a handful of small strip centres on Rundlehorn Drive NE and 26 Avenue NE. As of November 2026 they held pharmacies, two Circle K stores, a liquor store, a Dairy Queen, a small grocer, an eye clinic and a run of restaurants and take-out.
There is no supermarket inside. As of November 2026, Sunridge, across 36 Street, had a Real Canadian Superstore, a Costco, a regional shopping mall and the Peter Lougheed Centre hospital. The other supermarkets past Rundle’s corners were a FreshCo in Horizon to the north-west, a Save-On-Foods in Marlborough Park to the south-east and a No Frills in Temple to the north-east. Across 52 Street in Pineridge, Village Square has a leisure centre, a library and two arenas.
Housing stock
Detached houses are most of Rundle: 2,224 of them, almost all built from 1973 to 1978, with a typical lot near 5,100 square feet. Seventy-eight half-duplex titles sit beside them, nearly all from 1977, mostly on Rundlelawn Court, Rundleson Place, Rundleson Way and Rundlelawn Road NE, on lots of about 3,400 square feet a half.
In 2021, single-detached houses were 58% of Rundle’s occupied homes (Calgary: 55%), and row houses were 24%, against 10% across the city. Semi-detached homes were 5% (Calgary: 6%), and apartments in buildings under five storeys 2%, where Calgary’s share was 16%. Another 11% were an apartment or flat in a duplex, the census category that takes in a house with a suite, against 4% citywide. Whether a given lot can take a suite today is on the City’s map for that address.
Ten condominium plans
Ten condominium plans hold the townhouse units, 661 unit titles in all. Eight date from 1974 to 1978: four on Rundleson Road NE, two on 38 Street NE, one on Rundlehill Drive NE and one on Rundlewood Drive NE by 50 Street. Two small plans followed on Rundlelawn Grove NE in 1990 and Rundlelawn Park NE in 1995. A few freehold townhouses on 26 Avenue NE and Rundlelawn Road NE stand on titles of their own, and three townhouse complexes on Rundlehorn Drive NE, Rundlemere Road NE and 26 Avenue NE are held as rentals.
A townhouse unit in one of the condominium plans pays a monthly condo fee to its corporation, and the townhouses that sold in the twelve months to August 2026 carried a typical $349 a month. A detached house or a half-duplex pays no condo fee, and Rundle has no residents association or homeowners association fee. For a unit, the condo documents say what the fee covers. Homeowners association fees in Calgary sets the condo fee beside the other charges a Calgary buyer can run into.
On 26 Avenue NE, Calgary Housing is replacing a 1970s townhouse complex with Rundle Manor, 135 affordable homes, which its project page lists as “Construction ongoing, expected completion 2026”.
The contour along 36 Street
The west side of Rundle falls inside the NEF 25 contour on the City’s Noise Exposure Forecast map, the one drawn around Calgary International Airport. The band follows 36 Street NE the full length of the community, from 32 Avenue to 16 Avenue, and is a little wider at the north end than at the south. Most of the condominium townhouse complexes on 38 Street NE and Rundleson Road NE are in it, as are homes on parts of Rundleridge Drive, Rundlelawn Road, Rundlemere Road and Rundlelawn Way NE. The NEF 30 contour falls beyond Rundle’s boundary, and no contour at all covers the east of the community.
Anyone weighing a house in the west of Rundle can look its lot up on the City’s map first.

Schools
Five school buildings stand inside Rundle, and four of them are designated schools for its addresses. The fifth, St. Rose of Lima School at 2419 50 Street NE beside the hall, is CSSD’s French Immersion school for kindergarten to grade 9, a programme families apply to, and no Rundle address is designated there for the regular programme. No high school is inside.
On the public side, as CBE publishes it in November 2026, two schools inside Rundle share kindergarten to grade 6 between them. Rundle School, at 4120 Rundlehorn Dr NE, has the south-west: the Rundleridge and Rundleville streets, 39, 41 and 42 Street NE, Rundlefield Close and Crescent, Rundlemere Bay and Place, most of Rundlemere Road and Rundlefield Road, 38 Street south of Rundlemere Road, the south side of Rundlehorn Drive as far east as 48 Street, and the west side of 48 Street below that. Cecil Swanson School, at 4820 Rundlewood Dr NE, has everything else, including the Rundlecairn, Rundlehill, Rundlelawn, Rundleside, Rundleson, Rundleview and Rundlewood streets, Rundlehorn Crescent, 26 and 31 Avenue NE and 50 and 51 Street NE.
The line divides five streets between the two schools: 38 Street, Rundlemere Road, Rundlehorn Drive, 48 Street and Rundlefield Road NE. A house on any of them is one to confirm with CBE. From grade 7 every Rundle address shares the same two schools: Dr. Gordon Higgins School, inside Rundle at 155 Rundlehill Dr NE, for grades 7 to 9, then Lester B. Pearson High School, at 3020 52 St NE across 52 Street in Pineridge.
There is no Catholic line through Rundle. As CSSD publishes it in November 2026, every address starts at St. Rupert School, inside the community at 111 Rundlehill Drive NE, for kindergarten to grade 6. Grades 7 to 9 are at St. Martha School, 6020 4 Avenue NE in Marlborough Park, and grades 10 to 12 at Father Lacombe High School, 3615 Radcliffe Drive SE in Albert Park/Radisson Heights, which CSSD’s 2027-2028 high school boundaries keep as Rundle’s school.
For 2026-27, CSSD’s enrolment information names Rundle among the St. Martha communities whose new junior high students go to Holy Cross School in Dover, at 3719 26 Avenue SE, with a request that families phone the schools first.
The schools resource explains how Calgary’s attendance areas and choice programmes work.
