Crescent Heights community in Calgary
Direct answers

Crescent Heights, answered before the long read.

Concise, extractable answers first; evidence, definitions and property-level limitations follow below.

01

What evidence supports the Crescent Heights community profile?

The guide uses the exact named 2021 official profile for historical community context. It does not treat that profile as current inventory, price or evidence about an individual property.

02

What does the Crescent Heights housing profile show?

1,845 occupied private dwellings were reported as apartments in buildings with fewer than five storeys in the 2021 Census profile (52%); 895 single-detached houses represented another 25%.

03

When was much of the occupied Crescent Heights housing stock built?

Crescent Heights’ largest reported construction cohort was 1961 to 1980 with 1,180 occupied private dwellings (34%), followed by 1960 or before with 1,025 (29%).

04

Does community data describe every Crescent Heights resident or home?

No. Historical aggregate data describes the named geography at its reference date; it cannot establish a person's circumstances or a property's current condition, price or suitability.

Official records provide dated community context. Current listing status and conclusions about one property still require the applicable live record and property documents.

Crescent Heights by the numbers.

These figures come from The City of Calgary, 2021 Census Community Profile: Crescent Heights. They describe the named geography at a fixed reference date; current listings and monthly market conditions are kept separate.

Households and mobility

A community snapshot with the reference year attached.

The profile counted 6,240 people in private households across 3,515 households, with an average household size of 1.8 people.

10% of the population was age 14 or younger, 12% was age 65 or older, 26% were immigrants. These figures describe Crescent Heights at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.

Across 3,515 private households, median total household income before tax was $72,500 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.

3,415 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (58%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.

1,750 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (70%), while 1,265 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (51%).

Community evidence brief

A fuller Crescent Heights foundation.

Crescent Heights is an inner-city Calgary community where apartment, detached, duplex-style and infill searches overlap within a mature street network north of the Bow River. The official 2021 Census profile counted 6,240 people in private households and 3,515 private households; apartments in buildings under five storeys represented 52% of occupied private dwellings, while single-detached homes represented 25%. The largest reported construction cohort was 1961 to 1980, so effective age, envelope, systems, renovation permits and condominium records deserve property-specific review. These are dated community-profile figures, not current prices or inventory. A useful Crescent Heights comparison also accounts for slope, immediate block, route exposure, parking, redevelopment context and the exact walking or travel route rather than relying on a generic inner-city label.

Community identity

Define the geography before describing the property.

Boundary discipline

  • Confirm the exact Crescent Heights boundary and the listing's community field against the current municipal map or address record before publication.
  • Describe nearby services as nearby rather than inside the community unless the mapped boundary and current source support that wording.

Development and housing history

  • 34% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1961 to 1980 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 29% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1960 or before construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 10% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1981 to 1990 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 9% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 2001 to 2010 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.

Different contexts inside the community

  • Compare interior streets with route-, park-, amenity-, employment- or edge-adjacent locations where those conditions exist at the exact address.
  • Separate site and immediate-block conditions from a broad community label; view, noise, access, privacy, construction and land-use context can change within a neighbourhood.
