Overview
Temple Drive NE makes a long loop through Temple, and most of the streets off it take the community’s name with a word added: Templemont, Templeside, Templeton, Templewood, Templeby and others. Nearly all the homes went up in about five years, from 1977 to 1981, and detached houses and half-duplexes make up most of them.
Four main roads close the community into a square of NE Calgary, with Falconridge across McKnight Boulevard NE to the north, Monterey Park across 68 Street NE to the east, Pineridge across 32 Avenue NE to the south and Whitehorn across 52 Street NE to the west.
David’s take
The vibe
The hall on Templegreen Road
The Temple Community Centre at 167 Templegreen Road NE is run by the Temple Community Association, which describes itself as “run by a group of dedicated volunteers for the benefit of the businesses and residents of Temple.” The association rents out a large hall, a small hall and a meeting room, and beside the building it looks after tennis courts (with pickleball lines on one), basketball courts, an outdoor fitness centre and an outdoor hockey rink. The rink is kept up with money the association’s volunteers earn through the Calgary Community & Sports Bingo Association. Indoor pickleball, a seniors’ coffee time and children’s dances are on its calendar.
The association serves Temple alone. Its membership is $20 a year for an adult or for a household (up to two adults and their children under 18 at one address in Temple), and someone from outside Temple can join as a non-voting associate for the same $20. Joining is optional, done by email or at the office. Temple has no residents association or homeowners association fee. A condo fee is a separate charge, paid by owners in the condominium complexes to their corporation, and it comes with its own documents. For how a condo fee and an association fee differ, read homeowners association fees in Calgary.
Five years of building
The land came into the City in 1961 and held almost no one until 1977, then filled fast: the City counted 35 residents that year, 2,879 in 1979 and 8,263 in 1981, and by 1982 the count passed 10,000. Temple was established in 1977, and the association was registered the following year.
Most of the build happened in 1978, 1979 and 1980. Since 2010, about ten houses and semi-detached homes have been rebuilt on their lots.
Households and owners
The 2021 census counted 3,440 households in Temple. They averaged 3.1 people (Calgary: 2.6), and 18% had five or more people, against 10% citywide. Three households in four owned their home, 75% against 69% across Calgary. Temple’s median household income for 2020 was $87,000 (Calgary: $98,000).
What’s inside the four roads
Temple has a grocery store of its own, the No Frills in the shopping centre at 5401 Temple Dr NE, which also had a Dollarama, two pharmacies and a liquor store as of October 2026. Smaller strips on Temple Drive NE and at 64 Street and 32 Avenue NE had a gas station, convenience and specialty food stores and take-out, and a 7-Eleven and a Tim Hortons sit on 52 Street NE.
Fire Station 22 is at 7199 Temple Drive NE. The four school buildings sit on City park sites with soccer fields, most with ball diamonds as well, and playground equipment stands on 14 park sites across the community, with paved pathways between some of them. The ground is flat, and there is no lake, creek or off-leash area inside.
Across the edge roads
Village Square, on 56 Street NE in Pineridge, has the leisure centre, with a wave pool, two arenas and the Village Square Library. For dogs, the closest City off-leash area is a fully fenced one across McKnight Boulevard in Falconridge, and the Don Hartman North East Sportsplex is in Coral Springs. Monterey Park, across 68 Street, has a Calgary Co-op.
Housing stock
Temple has 2,305 detached houses. Beside them are 604 half-duplexes, 308 condominium townhouse units in five complexes and 80 freehold townhouses, each on a lot of its own. Four low-rise apartment buildings on Templegreen Drive NE hold 118 units on one condominium plan, and there are rental townhouses on Templemont Road NE.
The 2021 census put 62% of Temple’s occupied homes in single-detached houses (Calgary: 55%) and 14% in semi-detached homes, against Calgary’s 6%. Row houses were 12% (Calgary: 10%) and apartments in buildings under five storeys 7%, against 16% citywide.
The detached houses sit on a typical lot of about 5,000 square feet, and a typical one was built in 1979. Most half-duplexes went up in the same stretch, from 1978 to 1980, on lots of about 2,700 square feet per half. The condominium townhouse complexes are on 58 Street NE, Temple Drive NE, Templehill Drive NE, Templewood Drive NE and Templemont Way NE, all from 1978 to 1980. The freehold rows are on 56 Street NE, Templeside Circle NE and Temple Drive NE.
No condo fee comes with a detached house. On a condominium townhouse there is one, and in the twelve months to August 2026 the townhouses that sold with a fee carried a typical $453 a month. The title, not the listing, says which kind of townhouse it is.
The lot’s land-use district on the City’s map says whether a suite is allowed on it today.
| Type | Median sale price | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | $543,500 | 64 |
| Semi-detached | $390,000 | 17 |
| Row / townhouse | $275,000 | 17 |
| All home types | $467,500 | 98 |
Recent sales
Detached houses were 77 of the 118 sales in the twelve months to August 2026. Their typical price was $550,000, in a range of $370,000 to $717,000, and half were sold within 23 days. A typical one was a 1979 house.
The 19 semi-detached homes sold at a typical $388,500, from $321,000 to $465,000, and half went within 27 days. The 22 townhouses sold at a typical $282,600, from $205,750 to $390,000, with half selling within 26 days. No apartment sold in that time.
Across all 118 sales, the typical price was $488,250, and the middle half sold between $380,000 and $570,000. The full range ran from $205,750 to $717,000. Half of every type together sold within 24 days, and a typical seller got 97.18% of the asking price.
The $475,031 average sits $13,219 below the $488,250 typical price because the townhouse and semi-detached sales come in well under the detached ones.
Pineridge’s detached houses sold at a typical $538,500 in the twelve months to August 2026, against $550,000 in Temple. Its semi-detached homes went the other way, a typical $400,000 against $388,500 here. And half of Pineridge’s townhouses took 48 days or longer to sell, where half of Temple’s sold within 26.
Selling a Temple home starts with a home valuation of that house, set against nearby sales. Buyers will find the offer, the deposit and the conditions in the buyer’s guide.

Schools
Four school buildings are inside Temple, two on each board, and each board divides the community at the elementary level along its own line. No high school is inside.
For public school, 60 Street NE is the line. As CBE publishes it in October 2026, addresses east of 60 Street, plus the even-numbered east side of 60 Street itself, are designated to Annie Foote School for kindergarten to grade 6, and addresses west of it, with the odd-numbered west side, to Guy Weadick School. Both are inside Temple. If the home is on 60 Street or backs onto it, confirm with CBE. After grade 6, every address goes to Dr. Gordon Higgins School in Rundle and then Lester B. Pearson High School in Pineridge.
The Catholic line splits the north from the south instead. As CSSD publishes it in October 2026, the north of Temple is designated to Father Scollen School and the south to St. Thomas More School for kindergarten to grade 6, and CSSD lists the two halves as Temple North and Temple South. The line runs down the middle of some streets, so anyone on 37 Avenue, Temple Drive, Templegreen Drive, Templewood Road or Templewood Drive NE should check with CSSD. Every Temple address then goes to Father Scollen for grades 7 to 9 and to Bishop McNally High School in Falconridge, which CSSD’s 2027-28 high school boundaries keep as the designation.
Each board’s online tool gives the designation for one address. The schools resource explains Calgary’s attendance areas and choice programmes.
Annie Foote School
Public, K-6
East-side Temple children start here, kindergarten to grade 6, as CBE publishes it in October 2026: addresses east of 60 Street NE, plus the even-numbered east side of 60 Street itself. It is inside the community at 6320 Temple Dr NE. On 60 Street or a lot backing onto it, CBE's Find a School is the place to test the house number.
Guy Weadick School
Public, K-6
West-side Temple children start here, kindergarten to grade 6, as CBE publishes it in October 2026: addresses west of 60 Street NE, plus the odd-numbered west side of 60 Street. It is inside the community at 5612 Templehill Rd NE. A home near 60 Street is one to run through CBE's Find a School by house number.
Dr. Gordon Higgins School
Public, 7-9
Grades 7 to 9 for all of Temple, whichever side of 60 Street a home is on, as CBE publishes it in October 2026. The school is at 155 Rundlehill Dr NE, in Rundle, outside Temple. For one home's designation in CBE's own words, enter it in Find a School.
Lester B. Pearson High School
Public, 10-12
The designated public high school for all of Temple, grades 10 to 12, as CBE publishes it in October 2026. It is at 3020 52 St NE, in Pineridge, across 32 Avenue. Its IB programmes are choice programmes, applied for separately. Before grade 10 registration, look the home up in CBE's Find a School.
Father Scollen School
Catholic, K-9
Two roles in Temple, as CSSD publishes it in October 2026: kindergarten to grade 6 for the north of the community, which CSSD lists as Temple North, and grades 7 to 9 for every Temple address. It is inside Temple at 6839 Temple Dr NE. On 37 Avenue, Temple Drive, Templegreen Drive, Templewood Road or Templewood Drive, phone the school or ask CSSD which half a home falls in.
St. Thomas More School
Catholic, K-6
Catholic kindergarten to grade 6 for the south of Temple, which CSSD lists as Temple South, as CSSD publishes it in October 2026. It is inside the community at 6110 Temple Dr NE. CSSD asks families to phone the school to confirm the boundary, and that call is worth making on any of the streets the line runs down.
Bishop McNally High School
Catholic, 10-12
The Catholic high school for every Temple address, grades 10 to 12, as CSSD publishes it in October 2026, and it stays Temple's designation under CSSD's boundaries for 2027-28. It is at 5700 Falconridge Blvd NE, in Falconridge, across McKnight Boulevard. CSSD's school finder confirms a single address.
Frequently asked questions
What do homes sell for in Temple?
It depends on which of the three types you’re looking at. In the twelve months to August 2026, the 77 detached houses went for a typical $550,000, ranging from $370,000 to $717,000. The 19 semi-detached homes sold at a typical $388,500, from $321,000 to $465,000. The 22 townhouses sold at a typical $282,600, from $205,750 to $390,000, and the ones with a condo fee carried a typical $453 a month. No apartment sold. Across all 118 sales the typical price was $488,250, with the middle half between $380,000 and $570,000. To price one particular house, use a home valuation, not a community figure.
Do Temple homeowners pay an association fee?
Temple has no residents association or homeowners association fee. The Temple Community Association, which runs the hall on Templegreen Road NE, sells an optional membership at $20 a year for an adult or for a household. A condominium townhouse or apartment unit pays a monthly condo fee to its own corporation, which is a different charge. Your lawyer reads the title on any purchase.
How are the half-duplexes in Temple owned?
Nearly all of them are owned by the half. Temple has 604 half-duplexes on titles of their own, each half on a lot of typically about 2,700 square feet, and just two duplex buildings are held whole, on one title each. No condo corporation sits over the halves and no condo fee comes with them. The two owners still share a wall and a roof. Ask the seller about past roof work on both sides and whether any agreement between the two owners exists, and have your lawyer read the title for it.
Where do Temple children go to school?
Both boards split Temple at the elementary level, by different lines. As CBE publishes it in October 2026, homes east of 60 Street NE go to Annie Foote School and homes west of it to Guy Weadick School, both inside Temple, then every address goes to Dr. Gordon Higgins School in Rundle for grades 7 to 9 and Lester B. Pearson High School in Pineridge. As CSSD publishes it in October 2026, the north of Temple goes to Father Scollen School and the south to St. Thomas More School, both inside Temple, then everyone goes to Father Scollen for grades 7 to 9 and Bishop McNally High School in Falconridge. Homes on 60 Street confirm with CBE, and homes on 37 Avenue, Temple Drive, Templegreen Drive, Templewood Road and Templewood Drive confirm with CSSD.
Is there a CTrain station in Temple?
No. MAX Orange, the bus rapid transit line, runs along 52 Street NE on the west edge, with the northbound platforms of three stations on the Temple side: Whitehorn Drive, 44th Avenue NE and 32nd Avenue NE. The southbound platforms are across the road in Whitehorn. Inside the community, Route 70 Temple runs on Temple Drive and 43 Avenue every day of the week, and Routes 57 and 68 also run all week.
Is there a library or pool in Temple?
Not inside Temple. Village Square, across 32 Avenue NE in Pineridge, holds the leisure centre with its wave pool, two arenas and the Village Square Library. Inside Temple, the community hall on Templegreen Road NE has tennis courts, basketball courts, an outdoor hockey rink and an outdoor fitness centre beside it.
How old are the homes in Temple?
Almost all of them were built between 1977 and 1981. The City counted 35 residents in 1977 and 8,263 in 1981, and the typical home that sold in the twelve months to August 2026, of any type, was a 1979 build. About ten houses and semi-detached homes have been rebuilt on their lots since 2010, but the streets are still the ones laid out in the late 1970s.
