Despite being annexed to Calgary in two stages, with one stage in 1972 and the other in 1979, the community of MacEwan Glen was not established until 1982. Following its establishment, the community of MacEwan Glen underwent significant development, though it still remains a primarily low-density residential community. Bound to the north by Country Hills Boulevard, to the south by the north boundary of Nose Hill Park and Berkshire Boulevard, to the east by Beddington Trail Boulevard and to the west by Shaganappi Trail, the community provides residents with easy access to a number of nearby recreational opportunities. Popular choices among residents include the pathway system and the nearby Nose Hill Park.

The MacEwan community features a topography that can be described as an upland plateau that is surrounded by gradually sloping land. The community does include intermittent coulees in order to provide the area with the proper drainage, while the land to the north of the community is primarily used for agricultural purposes.
