Calgary Communities by Age of Homes

How old are the homes in a Calgary community, and what kind of homes are they? The table below answers that for 202 Calgary communities and about 238,000 detached homes. It lists the average year built, the average age, the years most homes were built, and the most common style: bungalow, 2 storey, split level and so on.

It’s built from MLS® records and refreshed every night. Each house is counted once, so the numbers describe what’s actually standing in the community, not just what sold last month.

The average Calgary detached home was built around 1985. About 29% are bungalows and 47% are 2 storey.

Key Takeaways

  • The oldest housing is in the inner city: the Beltline and Mission average 1915, Cliff Bungalow 1916, and Lower Mount Royal and Sunalta 1920.
  • Calgary’s bungalow belt was built from about 1955 to 1965. Southview (93% bungalow), Forest Lawn (91%), Westgate and Glendale (88%), and Fairview and Highwood (83%) have the highest shares.
  • Since the 1990s, new communities have been almost all 2 storey. Hotchkiss, Lewisburg and Ricardo Ranch average 2025 builds and are close to 100% 2 storey.
  • Split levels and bi-levels cluster in communities built in the 1970s and 1980s.

How to use the table

Click any column heading to sort. A few ways to use it:

  • Want a bungalow? Sort by % Bungalow. The top 20 communities are 75-94% bungalow, so you’ll have plenty of choice.
  • Want character? Sort by Avg Year Built, oldest first.
  • Want newer construction? Sort by Avg Year Built, newest first.
  • “Built (Most Homes)” shows the years most of a community’s homes were built. A narrow range like 1959-1961 means one builder era. A wide range like 1910-2013 means original homes mixed with infills.

What home age means for buyers and investors

Age tells you a lot before you ever book a showing:

  • 1950s-60s bungalow communities (Fairview, Haysboro, Kingsland, Acadia, Glendale) offer main-floor living, big lots and strong renovation and infill potential. Budget for updates to original systems. Inner-city communities with wide build ranges (Crescent Heights, Bridgeland, Altadore) are in transition: original homes sit beside new infills, and prices vary more street by street.
  • 2000s-2020s communities offer newer systems and less immediate maintenance, usually on smaller lots, and they’re mostly 2 storey.
  • Every era has its own inspection checklist. Older homes may have original wiring, older plumbing materials, asbestos-containing materials or an old oil tank. Homes from certain decades are known for specific plumbing or wiring products. Always get a qualified home inspection. Look out for Poly B plumbing and Aluminum Wiring. Your insurance company will ask as well.
  • For investors: the bungalow communities are where the Flip Finder finds most bungalow flips. Pair this table with Flip Finder and Deal Finder
