Two far-northwest communities that get shortlisted together, separated mostly by age and by how much attached housing each holds.

Live from the Calgary MLS® feed — these figures update themselves, and reflect whatever is listed and sold today.
Both sit in the Symons Valley area north of Stoney Trail, both are recent enough that the housing stock is modern throughout, and both commute the same way — Shaganappi or Stoney Trail, then in.
A community median is a statement about what sold, not about what a house costs. A community with a lot of apartment condos will show a low median even if its detached homes are expensive, and a quiet quarter at the top end can move the figure without any home changing value.
Use the medians above to understand the mix of housing in each community. To compare like with like, compare a specific property type — which is what the individual community pages break out.
Sage Hill suits a first purchase or a buyer who wants the shortest possible walk to groceries and the newest available build. Evanston suits a buyer who wants a settled street and is buying detached.
One thing to check on either: school designation in the far north changes as new communities fill, and the school a home is zoned for today is not guaranteed to be the one it is zoned for in three years. Confirm the current designation for the specific address rather than the community.
