Overview
Springbank Hill sits on the upper Paskapoo plateau on Calgary’s western edge in SW Calgary, broadly bounded by 17 Avenue SW and the Aspen Woods boundary to the north, 69 Street SW to the east, and Stoney Trail to the south and west. The postal code is T3H. Over the twelve months to August 2026 the community recorded 198 residential sales, with prices running from $210,000 to $3,761,500.
The community built out in two main waves. The eastern and southern pockets along Springbank Boulevard, Spring Crescent, and Springborough developed primarily between 2000 and 2010 as conventional two-storey family product on standard lots. The western and northern sections, including Spring Willow, Elveden, Elysian, and the Slopes of Springbank along 81 Street SW, built out with newer-spec detached, the Slopes townhouse and semi-detached cluster, and the estate enclaves at the top of the hill. The Timberline cul-de-sacs in the northwest corner and the Elysian and Elveden estate streets continue to produce new-build semi-detached and detached product.
The defining geographic feature is the elevation. Springbank Hill sits 100 metres above the city centre on the upper edge of the Paskapoo formation, so many addresses on the western and northern slopes have genuine downtown skyline or mountain views from the upper floors. The plateau also dictates that the community shares more daily geography with Aspen Woods and Discovery Ridge than with the inner SW: Aspen Landing is the commercial anchor, Westside Recreation Centre is the gym, Stoney Trail is the commute spine, and Highway 1 westbound is the Friday-afternoon route to the mountains.
Detached houses were 109 of the 198 sales, 55.1% of the market, at a median of $1,178,000. Row and townhouse homes and apartments closed 38 sales each, at medians of $598,500 and $329,000, and semi-detached homes closed 13 at $1,010,000. The blended median across every property type was $848,450, and half of all sales closed between $563,000 and $1,300,000.
David’s take
The vibe
Springbank Hill has the daily rhythm of a westside family community whose commercial life happens just outside its own boundary. There is no internal commercial strip; for groceries and daily errands, residents drive north: two minutes to Aspen Landing in Aspen Woods, about five minutes to the Trinity Hills complex near the Highway 1 and Sarcee Trail interchange, or about five minutes to the West 85th Centre in West Springs. Most residents pick one or two as their default rotation rather than treating any single one as the village centre.
The lifestyle anchor for most households is the Westside Recreation Centre at 2000 69 Street SW just east of the community in Signal Hill: a leisure pool with waterslides, a 25-metre lap pool, an Olympic-size ice rink, a fieldhouse with the indoor track, climbing walls, fitness studios, and an expanded gym. For a family with school-age children in swimming lessons, hockey, or skating, this is the building they end up in three or four nights a week. The centre is walkable from the eastern Springbank Hill streets and a three-minute drive from the west side. Few SW addresses can match that proximity to a full-service municipal rec facility.
The community demographic splits into two groups. The first is families who upsized from the inner SW (Killarney, Altadore, Marda Loop) and wanted more square footage and a triple-car garage without giving up a sub-25-minute downtown commute, concentrated in the 2000-2014 detached core along Spring Crescent, Springbank Boulevard, and Springborough. The second is the estate buyer in the Elveden, Spring Valley, and Timberline pockets: dual-income professionals, business owners, and families who chose the Paskapoo plateau for the views, Stoney Trail mountain access, and lot sizes that do not exist in the inner city.

Schools
Springbank Hill has one of the cleaner CBE designations on the west side: Griffith Woods School at 7652 26 Avenue SW is the K-9 designated school, shared with Discovery Ridge. The K-9 format eliminates the K-6/7-9 transition that most SW family communities still build their school path around. Same building, same staff culture, same peer community from kindergarten through grade nine.
The capacity question is the practical complication and every Springbank Hill buyer should understand it before relying on the designation. Griffith Woods has been at or above its design enrolment for several years as the buildouts in Springbank Hill, Discovery Ridge, and Aspen Woods have all matured together. The CBE has historically run an overflow arrangement that sends students who cannot be accommodated to Battalion Park School in Signal Hill (K-6), with Bishop Pinkham (7-9) picking up upper grades. The assignment depends on enrolment year, address, and annual capacity planning, so the answer for any specific Springbank Hill address can change between cycles. Verify with the CBE Find a School tool before purchasing if school assignment is a primary buying factor. The school resource page lists the broader SW Calgary inventory.
The senior high path is straightforward: Ernest Manning High School at 20 Springborough Boulevard SW is the CBE 10-12 designation, serving Springbank Hill along with Aspen Woods, West Springs, Signal Hill, Strathcona Park, and Discovery Ridge. AP, International Certificate, and Career and Technology Studies pathways. Approximately 3 to 5 minutes by car.
For Catholic families, Guardian Angel School at 20 Aspen Hills Drive SW in Aspen Woods is the designated Catholic elementary for Springbank Hill addresses. St. Gregory School is the designated junior high, and St. Mary’s High School the senior high. From 2027-2028, CSSD expects students in grades 10 and 11 of the regular programme to attend St. Pier Giorgio Frassati High School, the new CSSD school in west Calgary due to open in fall 2027. If your child will be in grade 12 in 2027-2028, ask CSSD which school applies. Verify current designations before relying on them for purchasing decisions.
Webber Academy at 1515 93 Street SW in Aspen Woods is approximately 5 to 8 minutes by car. Calgary French and International School is in Cougar Ridge, and Rundle College is inside Springbank Hill on 17 Avenue SW. For families committed to a private K-12 path, Springbank Hill provides the same effective school proximity as Aspen Woods.

Getting around
Springbank Hill has a commute story shaped by the Stoney Trail interchange at 17 Avenue SW and the proximity of the 69 Street LRT Blue Line station. From most addresses, drivers can be on the ring road in two to four minutes via 17 Avenue or Old Banff Coach Road, which puts downtown at roughly 20 minutes outside peak hours via Bow Trail or 17 Avenue east, the University of Calgary at 20 minutes via Stoney Trail north, and Foothills Medical Centre at 18 minutes on the same route. Friday afternoon mountain access is the standout: westbound Highway 1 is minutes from the Stoney Trail interchange, and a Springbank Hill resident can be past the city limits before drivers from inner-SW communities have cleared Crowchild.
The 69 Street LRT Blue Line station sits at the eastern edge of the community and is the western terminus of the line. Some eastern Springbank Hill addresses are walkable to the platform; for others it is a 5 to 8-minute drive or a short bus connection. As the western terminus, a seat on the morning train is essentially guaranteed, which is a quiet advantage that mid-line stations cannot match. For a household with one car and one transit commuter, that LRT proximity is one of the most underrated daily-life features of the community.
Calgary International Airport is approximately 33 minutes via Stoney Trail north and Deerfoot Trail. Mount Royal University is roughly 12 minutes east via 17 Avenue SW; Rockyview General Hospital is a similar distance. For weekend trips, Banff is roughly 75 minutes via Stoney Trail and Highway 1; Canmore is about 65.

Property mix
Detached homes account for 109 of the 198 sales over the twelve months to August 2026, 55.1% of the market, at a typical price of $1,178,000, with a full range from $640,000 to $3,761,500. The detached houses that sold had a typical build year of 2006, and sold within 20 days at the midpoint. The stock splits into three readable cohorts. The 2000-2010 cohort produced the detached along Spring Crescent, Springbank Boulevard, and Springborough: two-storey family homes on 35 to 50-foot lots, generally 1,800 to 2,600 sq ft above grade with attached double garages. Original kitchens and bathrooms in that cohort are as old as the houses, so budget for updates where they have not been redone. The 2012-2020 cohort produced the newer detached on the western and northern slopes with current-spec finishes, larger footprints, and some downtown or mountain views. The Elveden, Spring Valley, and Timberline estate tier is the third cohort: 2014-2026 custom builds, often architect-designed, on premium lots.
Row and townhouse homes were 38 sales at a typical price of $598,500, with a full range from $304,750 to $875,000 and a typical fee of $275.91 a month. The townhouses that sold had a typical build year of 2022, the newest of the four property types, and sold within 28 days at the midpoint. The townhouse stock includes three complexes: Spring Creek Common on the south edge (smaller two-bedroom condo-titled units), the Slopes of Springbank along 81 Street SW and Spring Willow Drive (3-bedroom units with attached garages), and the Elysian Crescent newer builds (two-and-a-half storey, double attached garages, several 2020+).
Semi-detached homes were 13 sales at a typical price of $1,010,000, with a full range from $705,000 to $2,600,000, a typical fee of $375.12 a month and a typical build year of 2006. They were the quickest of the four property types to sell, within 14 days at the midpoint.
Apartments were 38 sales at a typical price of $329,000, the lowest of the four property types, with a full range from $210,000 to $780,000. The community’s $210,000 low came from this group. The apartments that sold had a typical fee of $565.00 a month and a typical build year of 2008, and sold within 42 days at the midpoint, the slowest of the four.
Those four property types account for all 198 sales over the past year.
| Type | Median sale price | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,209,750 | 80 |
| Semi-detached | $896,250 | 10 |
| Row / townhouse | $580,000 | 30 |
| Apartment | $328,000 | 29 |
| All home types | $846,900 | 149 |

How does Springbank Hill compare to Aspen Woods?
The two share the westside geography, Aspen Landing, Westside Recreation Centre, and the Stoney Trail mountain commute. Aspen Woods has Webber Academy inside its boundary. Over the same twelve months to August 2026, detached houses sold at a typical price of $1,393,750 in Aspen Woods and $1,178,000 in Springbank Hill, and detached prices started at $730,000 in Aspen Woods and $640,000 in Springbank Hill. Springbank Hill closed more detached sales, 109 against 84, and far more semi-detached sales too: 13 here, at a $1,010,000 typical price, against 3 in Aspen Woods. Apartments sold at a typical price of $329,000 in Springbank Hill and $360,000 in Aspen Woods. The school pathways also differ: Aspen Woods feeds Dr. Roberta Bondar K-6 then Ernest Manning; Springbank Hill feeds Griffith Woods K-9 then Ernest Manning.
How does Springbank Hill compare to West Springs?
West Springs sits south of Old Banff Coach Road with its own commercial anchor at West 85th Centre and the Broadcast Avenue condo cluster. Its K-9 school pathway is West Springs and West Ridge, shared with Cougar Ridge rather than Discovery Ridge. Springbank Hill has no internal commercial strip; residents drive to Aspen Landing or Trinity Hills. Over the same twelve months to August 2026, detached houses sold at a typical price of $1,178,000 in Springbank Hill and $1,112,500 in West Springs, and Springbank Hill’s detached prices reached higher, to $3,761,500 against $2,597,000. Apartments run the other way: a $329,000 typical price in Springbank Hill against $485,000 in West Springs, with Springbank Hill’s apartment prices starting at $210,000 and West Springs’ at $325,000. For commercial walkability and the West Springs pathway, West Springs is the closer fit; for a higher detached ceiling and a lower apartment entry point, look at Springbank Hill.
How long is the commute from Springbank Hill to downtown Calgary?
By car, approximately 20 minutes outside peak hours via Bow Trail or 17 Avenue SW east. Morning rush hour can extend that to 30 to 40 minutes. The 69 Street LRT Blue Line station sits at the eastern edge of the community and is the western terminus of the line; from the platform, downtown is another 20 minutes by train. As the western terminus, a seat on the morning train is essentially guaranteed, which is an advantage mid-line stations cannot match. The Stoney Trail interchange at 17 Avenue SW is the ring road alternative for trips that bypass the inner arterials.
How close is Springbank Hill to Westside Recreation Centre and Aspen Landing?
Westside Recreation Centre at 2000 69 Street SW sits just east of Springbank Hill, across 69 Street SW in Signal Hill, and is walkable from some eastern addresses; for most of the community it is a 3 to 5-minute drive. The facility includes a leisure pool with waterslides, a 25-metre lap pool, an Olympic-size ice rink, a fieldhouse with the indoor track, climbing walls, fitness studios, and an expanded gym. Aspen Landing in Aspen Woods sits two minutes north of most Springbank Hill addresses (Blush Lane, Safeway, Shoppers, Ladybug Bakery, Mercato West, and a cluster of restaurants). Both within a 5-minute radius is the practical reason the community works for families.
What is the housing stock and age range like in Springbank Hill?
Two main waves with a third still in progress. The 2000-2010 wave produced the eastern and southern detached pockets along Spring Crescent, Springbank Boulevard, and Springborough: two-storey family homes on standard lots, 1,800 to 2,600 sq ft, attached double garages. The second wave produced the newer detached, the Slopes of Springbank townhouses, and Spring Creek Common. The third wave is active in Elveden, Spring Valley, and Timberline (new estate builds) plus Elysian Crescent (2020+ semi-detached and townhouse). No meaningful 1990s or earlier housing stock. Across the 198 residential sales over the twelve months to August 2026, the homes that sold carried a median build year of 2008.
Is Springbank Hill near a hospital or the University of Calgary?
Foothills Medical Centre is approximately 18 minutes via Stoney Trail north and Crowchild. The University of Calgary is approximately 20 minutes on the same route. The Stoney Trail north access avoids the inner-arterial congestion that affects communities further east. Rockyview General Hospital is approximately 12 minutes east via 17 Avenue SW. Alberta Children’s Hospital sits adjacent to Foothills. For healthcare workers, post-secondary students, or families with regular hospital appointments, the predictable Stoney Trail route is one of the practical advantages of the westside position.
What's the price range for homes in Springbank Hill?
Over the twelve months to August 2026, Springbank Hill recorded 198 residential sales at a typical (median) price of $848,450. Half of them closed between $563,000 and $1,300,000, and individual sales ran from $210,000 to $3,761,500. Detached houses, 109 of those sales, had a typical price of $1,178,000 between $640,000 and $3,761,500. Semi-detached homes, 13 sales, had a typical price of $1,010,000, and row and townhouse homes, 38 sales, $598,500. Apartments are the most accessible entry: 38 sales at a typical price of $329,000, with the $210,000 community low among them.
