Yorkville Real Estate. David Stephen, Calgary REALTOR.

Overview

Yorkville and Belmont face each other across Sheriff King Street SW, two new far-south communities built side by side by different builders. Yorkville is the Mattamy one. Developed by Mattamy Homes with Ronmor Developments on its first phase, it received outline-plan approval in 2015 and opened its first show homes in June 2018, and it has been building steadily since. It is bounded by 194 Avenue SW to the north, where it meets Silverado, by 210 Avenue SW to the south, by Spruce Meadows Way to the west, and by Sheriff King Street SW to the east, across which sits Belmont, a separate Anthem-built community that shares Yorkville’s far-south, new-build character. A further Yorkville West phase to the west is a future extension of the community rather than a separate neighbourhood.

Yorkville is still under construction and actively selling. The most recent official snapshot, the 2021 Census, counted 715 residents across 265 households, with 100% of occupied homes built between 2016 and 2021, in other words an entirely new community at that point. The true population today is materially higher given the construction that has continued since, though no more recent official count is available. In practical terms, a buyer today is stepping into a young, growing community with fresh housing, school sites still unbuilt, and its own retail still to come.

Yorkville earns a close look for its uniformity. Of the new far-south communities, it is the most single-family in character: over the past year it traded only ground-oriented homes, with no apartments at all, inside a tighter price band than either of its neighbours. The rest of this guide covers the market, the schools, and the amenities taking shape.

David’s take

David's take

Yorkville is the most uniform of the new far-south communities, and the number that proves it is zero. Over the twelve months to July 2026, not a single apartment traded here. All 67 sales were ground-oriented: 34 detached typically at $729,000, 22 row or townhouse at $488,500, and 11 semi-detached at $563,000. Three home types, every one of them a house or attached to one, inside a tight band from $450,000 to $921,500.

Set that against its neighbours and the shape stands out. Pine Creek runs its detached band past $1.6 million on an estate phase. Belmont, directly across Sheriff King Street, carries an apartment rung and a community floor of $240,000. Yorkville has neither the estate ceiling nor the condo floor. It is the compact middle: no seven-figure tier pulling the top up, no apartment tier holding the bottom down, just ground-oriented homes in a narrow range.

That uniformity is the thing to weigh as a buyer. Yorkville reads as one coherent product type rather than a ladder of very different ones, which is part of why it feels more settled than its build-out stage would suggest. When you shop here you are essentially choosing among three closely related ground-oriented homes, not deciding which rung of a wide market to step onto. Whether that is an advantage or a limitation depends almost entirely on where your budget sits, which is the real question the rest of this guide gets into.

The vibe

Yorkville feels further along than it is. Construction is ongoing and the landscaping is young, but because everything here is low-rise and ground-oriented, the streets already read as a settled single-family neighbourhood.

The green space is already a genuine feature rather than a promise. Yorkville’s centrepiece is Central Park, a four-acre space the developer describes as all-season and all-abilities, with a dog park, tobogganing hill, skate park, playground, ping-pong tables, and a pavilion and amphitheatre. The community also connects to the regional Mattamy Greenway pathway network and sits near the Sirocco Golf Club. For a community still filling in, that present-day amenity base is one of its stronger draws, giving residents real open space rather than only future promises.

For day-to-day shopping, Yorkville is still in its early phase and has no retail of its own yet. Residents drive a few minutes to established centres nearby, with Silverado Marketplace closest at about three minutes, the Township centre about seven minutes away, and Shawnessy Village about eight minutes away by car for groceries and daily essentials. That is set to change: a grocery-anchored Belmont Shopping Centre is planned directly east across Sheriff King Street, though it is not built yet. More on that below.

Housing stock

Yorkville’s defining feature as a market is that it is entirely ground-oriented. Over the past year it sold detached homes, semi-detached homes, and row or townhouse product, and nothing else, with no apartments trading at all. Detached homes are the largest segment at just over half of sales, the townhouse segment forms the entry point, and semi-detached fills the space between. There is no condo rung and no estate tier, which is why the whole community fits inside a tighter band than either of its new far-south neighbours.

That uniformity is the reason Yorkville feels coherent for a community still under construction, and it is also the reason its entry point sits higher than Belmont’s next door. A first-time buyer or a downsizer here is looking at a townhouse rather than an apartment, while a family that needs more space is shopping the detached half of the market, all inside the same low-rise streetscape. 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 floor plan sits within these bands, the buyer’s guide is a good starting point.

Type	Typical price	Notes
Detached	$729,000	34 sales, just over half the market. The top of the community, up to the high of $921,500.
Semi-detached (half duplex)	$563,000	11 sales. Between the townhouse and detached rungs.
Row / townhouse	$488,500	22 sales. The most affordable segment and the community's entry point, with the lowest sale this year at $450,000.
Apartment / condo	None sold	No apartment product traded in the past twelve months. Yorkville is entirely ground-oriented.

Recent sales

Over the twelve months to July 2026, Yorkville recorded 67 residential sales. The typical price was $625,000 and the average was $626,518, with homes spending an average 47 days on market and selling at roughly 97.6% of list price. Detached homes made up about 51% of sales, with no apartments trading at all. Prices ran from a floor of $450,000 to a high of $921,500, a notably tight spread for a new community, and a direct result of Yorkville selling only ground-oriented homes.

David's take

Here is the practical consequence of Yorkville trading zero apartments: its entry point is a townhouse, not a condo. The lowest sale in the community over the past year was $450,000, and the row and townhouse median sat at $488,500. There is no rung below that, because the apartment product that would create one does not exist here.

That matters most when you set Yorkville against Belmont, directly across Sheriff King Street. Belmont sells apartments, with a median around $359,950 and a community floor of $240,000, so a buyer whose budget starts below Yorkville’s townhouse level has real options one street east that Yorkville simply cannot offer. Two adjacent new communities, built at the same time in the same corner of the city, and the entry decision comes down to whether you need the condo rung or not.

The flip side is what you get for staying in Yorkville’s range. A detached median of $729,000 and a ceiling at $921,500 describe a community that is almost entirely houses and near-houses, without the apartment density that changes the feel of a streetscape. For a buyer who was going to buy ground-oriented anyway, that homogeneity is the appeal. For one who needs to start lower, it is the reason to cross the street. Naming which buyer you are is the first move, and reading a specific home against the right comparables in its own product type is the next.

Sales by home type

Detached. 34 sales, about 51% of the market, typically $729,000, up to the community high of $921,500.
Semi-detached (half duplex). 11 sales, typically $563,000, between the townhouse and detached rungs.
Row / townhouse. 22 sales, typically $488,500, the most affordable segment and the community’s entry point, with the lowest sale this year at $450,000.
Apartment / condo. No sales. Yorkville had no apartment product in the past year.

Schools

The same pathway is what neighbouring Belmont and Silverado carry at the junior and senior levels, so Yorkville is not sitting on the far side of an address-level split here. Belmont’s elementary designation is the one that differs: it moved to Ethel M. Johnson School for the 2025-26 year, while Yorkville addresses still return Ron Southern.

On the Catholic side, CSSD’s school finder points to Holy Child School (K-9) in adjacent Silverado, immediately north, feeding to All Saints High School (10-12) in Legacy for the senior grades. This matches the pathway confirmed for neighbouring Belmont and Silverado, which is consistent given how close the communities sit, though it was identified through the CSSD finder rather than a confirmed address-level designation.

Three forward-looking notes matter here. First, Yorkville is still under construction, and CBE returns no attendance area at all at some points inside the community, which is normal for an area where boundaries have not been drawn over the whole footprint yet. Second, 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, expected to open around 2031 or 2032, as the eventual senior-high pathway for this whole cluster, Yorkville included; the current Dr. E.P. Scarlett designation is very likely an interim one. Third, 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 using 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.

Ron Southern School

Public · K-6

CBE-designated elementary at 483 Silverado Blvd SW, outside Yorkville in adjacent Silverado to the north. Confirmed in a browser session against CBE's Find a School tool at three separate Yorkville addresses in August 2026. Grade splits and boundaries shift in fast-growing areas, so confirm the current designation for your specific address before purchasing.

Harold Panabaker School

Public · 7-9

CBE-designated junior high at 23 Sackville Drive SW in Southwood, several kilometres north of Yorkville. Confirm your address with the CBE Find a School tool before purchasing.

Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School

Public · 10-12

CBE-designated senior high at 220 Canterbury Drive SW, the same senior-high designation neighbouring Belmont and Silverado carry. A future Belmont/West Macleod High School, approved to be built in Belmont and expected to open around 2031 or 2032 per CBE's 2026 capital plan, is likely to become the eventual senior-high pathway, so the current designation is very likely interim. Confirm the current designation with the CBE Find a School tool.

Holy Child School

Catholic · K-9

CSSD Catholic elementary and junior high in adjacent Silverado, immediately north of Yorkville. Identified via CSSD's school finder rather than a confirmed address-level designation, so confirm the current pathway with the CSSD school-finder tool before purchasing.

All Saints High School

Catholic · 10-12

CSSD Catholic senior high in Legacy, to the southeast. Identified via CSSD's school finder, so verify the current Yorkville designation with the CSSD before purchasing.

Getting around

For now, Yorkville runs on the car, which is typical of a new far-south neighbourhood still under construction. Most trips start on the arterial grid: 194 Avenue SW along the north edge, Sheriff King Street SW on the east, 210 Avenue SW to the south, and Spruce Meadows Way on the west connect quickly to Macleod Trail and the Stoney Trail ring road for trips across the city. That grid also connects Yorkville north to the established deep-south communities of Bridlewood and Evergreen, where much of the area’s older retail and transit is concentrated.

There is confirmed bus service. Calgary Transit extended Route 78 to serve Belmont and Yorkville effective December 2022, connecting the area toward the wider network. Route 102 reaches Yorkville’s immediate northern doorstep near Sheriff King Street, though it was not confirmed to run inside the community itself. For rail, there is no CTrain station in or near Yorkville today; the nearest is Somerset-Bridlewood Station, the current southern terminus of the Red Line, which the developer places at about a ten-minute drive.

Longer term, the City is studying a Red Line LRT South Extension that would run south from Somerset-Bridlewood toward 210 Avenue, and Yorkville is named among the communities that broader project is intended to eventually serve. It is worth knowing about, but it is early-stage: in the City’s own words, detailed design and construction are currently unfunded, with no committed opening date. Plan your commute around the bus and the drive, not the study. And down here it is the Red Line, not the Green Line.

Any drive time here depends on your exact address and how traffic is moving. The developer’s own estimate, taken from the adjacent Belmont Shopping Centre site, puts downtown at roughly 35 minutes by car and the Stoney Trail ring road at about 8 minutes, so treat those as estimates. For your own commute, pull up a live map for your route and for destinations such as the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, or the airport, since verified drive times to those were not available for this guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is Yorkville a good community to buy in?

Yorkville suits buyers who want a brand-new ground-oriented home, a townhouse, semi-detached, or detached house, in the far south and are comfortable growing with a community that is still filling in. It is a young community, actively selling and under construction, with school sites not yet built inside it and its own retail still to come. What sets it apart from the other new far-south communities is how uniform it is: every sale over the past year was a house or attached to one, with no apartments at all, inside a tight price band. That gives Yorkville a coherent, single-family feel for a place at this stage. The trade-off is that there is no condo entry point here, so the community starts at the townhouse level, and residents drive a few minutes to established retail nearby for now. If you want a new ground-oriented home and can wait for amenities to arrive, Yorkville is a strong option. If you need an apartment entry point, neighbouring Belmont has one and Yorkville does not.

How much do homes cost in Yorkville?

Over the twelve months to July 2026 the typical sold price was $625,000 and the average was $626,518, with sales running from $450,000 to $921,500. That is a notably tight band for a new community, because Yorkville sells only ground-oriented product. By type, row and townhouse homes typically sold around $488,500, semi-detached homes around $563,000, and detached homes around $729,000. Detached made up about 51% of sales, and no apartments traded at all, so the community’s entry point is a townhouse rather than a condo. For a read on a specific property, a home valuation is the place to start.

What schools serve Yorkville?

Yorkville has no CBE school inside its own boundaries, so every designated public school currently sits outside the community. A browser check of CBE’s Find a School tool at three separate Yorkville addresses in August 2026 returned the same three schools at all three: Ron Southern School (K-6) at 483 Silverado Blvd SW in adjacent Silverado, Harold Panabaker School (7-9) at 23 Sackville Drive SW in Southwood, and Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School (10-12) at 220 Canterbury Drive SW. That is the same senior-high designation neighbouring Belmont and Silverado carry, so Yorkville is not sitting on the far side of an address-level split here. On the Catholic side, CSSD’s school finder points to Holy Child School (K-9) in adjacent Silverado and All Saints High School (10-12) in Legacy. Because the community is still building out, CBE returns no attendance area at all for some parts of it, designations are set by your specific address and reviewed annually, and a future Belmont/West Macleod High School expected to open around 2031 or 2032 is likely to become the eventual senior-high pathway. Confirm the current designation with the CBE Find a School and CSSD school-finder tools before you buy.

Does Yorkville have shopping and amenities?

Its parks are a genuine present-day feature, but its retail is not built yet. Yorkville’s standout amenity is Central Park, a four-acre space the developer describes as all-season and all-abilities, with a dog park, tobogganing hill, skate park, playground, ping-pong tables, and a pavilion and amphitheatre, and the community connects to the regional Mattamy Greenway pathway. For groceries and daily essentials, residents drive a few minutes to established centres nearby, with Silverado Marketplace closest at about three minutes, the Township centre about seven minutes away, and Shawnessy Village about eight minutes away by car. A grocery-anchored Belmont Shopping Centre is planned directly east across Sheriff King Street, with a developer target of summer 2027, and a future City recreation centre with a library has been referenced along 210 Avenue SW, but neither is built. For now you live in Yorkville and shop out of it. The 2027 targets across Sheriff King Street would change that.

How does Yorkville compare to Belmont next door?

They sit side by side across Sheriff King Street SW, both new far-south communities in the same West Macleod growth area, built at the same time, but they are different products and different builders. Yorkville, by Mattamy Homes, is entirely ground-oriented: over the past year it sold only townhouses, semi-detached, and detached homes, with no apartments, inside a tight band from $450,000 to $921,500. Belmont, by Anthem Properties, sells a wider ladder including apartments, which gives it a lower entry point, with a community floor of $240,000 this past year. The practical difference is the entry rung: if your budget starts below Yorkville’s townhouse level, Belmont has a condo rung and Yorkville does not. If you were going to buy ground-oriented anyway, Yorkville’s uniformity and single-family feel are the draw. Both sit in the same group as Pine Creek, the most detached-led of the three, so it is worth comparing all of them before deciding.
