Ownership & the housing mix
Housing tenure runs 77% owner to 23% renter, well above Calgary’s 69/31 split. The dwelling mix is led by single-detached (84%), high-rise apartment (10%). It is an established community — 88% of dwellings were built before 1981, so vintage, renovation history, and mechanical updates matter when comparing homes. Condition data shows 95% of dwellings need only regular maintenance or minor repairs, and 97% of households are suitable for the number of residents.
Shelter costs & income
Median monthly shelter costs were $1,220 for owned dwellings and $1,220 for rented, versus Calgary’s $1,720 and $1,350. About 19% of households spent 30% or more of income on shelter (Calgary: 23%). Median household income was $117,000 in 2020 against $98,000 city-wide, and median individual income was $48,000 versus $44,400. 20% of households earned $200,000 or more.

Among residents 15 and over, 68% hold a post-secondary credential and 40% hold a university degree at bachelor level or above, versus 61% and 36% across Calgary. The labour force participation rate was 63%, employment 57%, and unemployment 11%. Top industries: Professional, scientific and technical services (15%); Health care and social assistance (13%); Construction (10%). Top occupation groups: Business, finance and administration occupations (21%); Sales and service occupations (19%); Trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations (16%).

92% of residents speak English most often at home (Calgary: 75%), with Arabic and Filipino) the most common non-official home languages. In 2021, 18% of residents were immigrants, compared with 33% across Calgary — neutral demographic context from the census. On mobility, 11% of residents had moved in the year before the census and 35% within five years (Calgary: 42%) — a read on how settled the community is and how much resale turnover to expect.
What it means for buyers & sellers
Taken together, the census shows an established, mixed community — useful long-term context for weighing Glendale against its neighbours, alongside the live market data higher on this page.

Glendale FAQ
No official ranking of Glendale agents exists, so a claim to be the best is an opinion rather than a fact. Judge on which Glendale streets they have actually closed on, whether they separate infill from original bungalow when they price, and whether they work from sold comparables rather than asking prices.
Ask how the slope through the community changes what an inspector should look at, and ask which recent sales were infill and which were original homes. In a community that lists this few homes, an agent who works here can name them.
Ask what your home competes with this month given how little is listed, and ask to see the sold comparables and the condition adjustments behind the number. Ask who represents you as well: under Alberta’s designated agency the individual REALTOR® represents you, not the brokerage.
Glendale is one of southwest Calgary's best-kept 1950s communities — an elm-lined bungalow grid with Turtle Park and its landmark concrete turtle at the centre, a community hall and rink, and the 45 Street CTrain station at its northeast corner. It suits families, renovators, and buyers who want character with a train nearby.
Turtle Park's giant concrete turtle has been the community's landmark and unofficial mascot for generations — the park, hall, rink, and sports courts around it form the centre of Glendale life.
Glendale's detached market has climbed with its profile: detached homes have a 12-month median sold price of $790,500, with renovated bungalows and infills reaching well past $1 million and original homes and the occasional condo providing lower entries. Renovation vintage drives wide gaps between similar floor plans.
Original and renovated 1950s bungalows dominate, with new semi-detached and detached infills arriving street by street. Lots are generous, the elm canopy is real, and attached options are limited compared with neighbouring communities.
Very — Glendale School (CBE) sits inside the community, A.E. Cross School is minutes away, Holy Name School offers a Catholic French-immersion option nearby, and Turtle Park anchors the after-school scene. Verify designations before purchasing.
Yes — the 45 Street station on the Blue Line sits at the community's northeast corner, putting downtown about 20 minutes away by train. A walkable LRT is rare currency among Calgary's 1950s communities.
About 18 minutes by car via Bow Trail or 17 Avenue, and roughly 30 minutes by transit via the 45 Street station. Westside Recreation Centre is 8 minutes west.
Both paths work here: originals carry land value on generous lots, and Glendale's profile supports strong resale for quality renovations. The mistake is paying renovated prices for cosmetic work — we help buyers read the difference.
