Legacy is a SE Calgary master-planned community at the deep-south edge of the developed city, founded in 2011 by WestCreek Developments and still actively building out across its 6,044 assessed properties. The community spans 8,000 residents at the 2021 census, a figure that has grown materially since as the 639 new-construction permits worth $180.7M or more issued since 2024 continue to add first-build inventory across the southern phases. The average year of construction across the housing is 2018, and the property count has climbed from 4,028 at the end of 2023 to 5,543 by the end of 2025 and on to the current 6,044, one of the strongest first-build cadences in any Calgary community. Built form runs the master-planned megasuburb mix with detached single-family across the interior on standard master-planned lots, attached townhomes on the higher-density collector blocks, and multi-family homes in the perimeter developer nodes. Average assessed value sits at $504K, up 13.4% year-over-year and running slightly behind the broader citywide assessment trend at +15.2%. The 23.5 disorder events per 1,000 residents work out to well below the citywide baseline of roughly 50 per 1,000, marking Legacy as one of the notably quiet deep-south SE communities at this build stage. The community’s spot in the SE master-planned megasuburb cluster is part of the wider picture inside Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Legacy
Legacy's resident base skews strongly young-adult and family-formation, and the post-2010 master-planned template with a heavy new-build inventory is the structural reason. The 2021 census recorded 8,000 residents across the community, and the 20-to-39 share is the largest of any age band at 39% — a significantly younger demographic than the wider SE Calgary average and consistent with a community actively drawing first-time and second-time buyers into new-build homes. The 40-to-64 share sits at 28%, the 0-to-19 share at 27%, and the 65-plus share at only 6%, well below the citywide average and consistent with a community still in its first-ownership cycle. The composition tracks what a first-build master-planned deep-south SE community with new-build detached, townhome, and multi-family homes would predict: young-adult professional and family-formation households drawn by the new-build inventory and the school catchment inside the community. For a SE Calgary comparison at a very different inner-SE built form and demographic pattern, the Applewood Park profile is the closest reference point inside the same quadrant.

Living in Legacy
Legacy reads as deep-south SE Calgary at the active first-build stage of its master-planned cycle. The build template is post-2010 detached single-family on standard master-planned lots, with attached townhomes and rowhomes concentrated on the collector-street blocks and multi-family homes along the perimeter developer nodes. The 6,404 m² aggregate-average lot footprint reflects the mix of standard residential lots and the large unsubdivided parcels still on the assessment roll as the community completes its southern phases, and a typical Legacy street shows the developer’s first-phase landscape plantings alongside newer blocks where infrastructure is still being installed. Show-home sales offices and partially graded parcels are common features across the interior, and the community’s overall texture is closer to the early phases of a still-building megasuburb than to the mature-canopy pattern of an established community. Transit is bus-served with no LRT inside the community; the closest existing rail option is the Red Line at Somerset-Bridlewood Station a short drive west across Macleod Trail. Retail draws on the Shawnessy commercial corridor along Macleod Trail immediately west and on the developer-anchored retail nodes emerging inside the community as build-out progresses. The build template matches the broader master-planned megasuburb cluster Legacy belongs to — for the SE-quadrant lake-community variant of the same post-2000 pattern at a fuller build-out stage, see the Mahogany profile.
Things to do in Legacy
The day-to-day amenity layer leans on the developer-installed pathway network, the schools inside the community, and the surrounding SE Calgary retail nodes. The community’s structure plan includes interior stormwater ponds and a pathway network connecting the residential blocks to a network of pocket parks, and the developer-installed green space is being delivered alongside the ongoing new-build inventory across the southern phases. All Saints High School operates inside the community under the Calgary Catholic School District catchment and anchors the senior-high catchment for the wider Legacy and Walden area, with additional primary and middle-school catchments served by the CBE and CCSD systems across the wider deep-south SE cluster. Beyond the community, the Shawnessy commercial corridor along Macleod Trail immediately west carries the closest large-format retail with grocery, big-box stores, and restaurants. For a directly adjacent SE Calgary lake-community peer at a comparable master-planned build era with a Hopewell-era developer template, the Auburn Bay profile covers the northern lake-community variant, and the Walden profile shows the directly adjacent SE master-planned neighbour immediately north across the community boundary.
The Legacy real-estate read
Average assessed value of $504K places Legacy in the moderate band of SE Calgary master-planned value tiers, with the 13.4% year-over-year run-up running slightly behind Calgary’s broader +15.2% assessment trend. The historical curve in the Property Values section above shows the path: the average climbed from $411K in 2023 to $454K in 2024, then to $515K in 2025 before settling at the current $510K reading, with the recent gain concentrated in the last two assessment cycles as the master-planned detached homes repriced through the broader market run-up. Building Activity is dominant in the data — 1,009 new-construction permits since 2024 sit alongside only 1 demolition and 58 secondary-suite permits, one of the strongest first-build cadences in any Calgary community and consistent with a WestCreek-developed master-planned megasuburb still adding phases. The property count trajectory alone tells the story: 4,028 assessed properties at the end of 2023, 5,022 a year later, 5,543 by the end of 2025, and 6,044 today, a growth rate of roughly 2,000 new properties across three assessment cycles. The 58 secondary-suite permits also reflect the earliest-generation owners beginning to layer basement and laneway conversions onto the existing new-build homes as build-out approaches its later phases. The steady stream of new-build inventory keeps the assessment-roll average moving up on a lag against the broader market cycle, and the wide gap between the minimum and maximum assessed values reflects the mix of completed detached homes, in-progress builds, and multi-family homes at various stages of completion. The first-build cadence is expected to continue through the 2020s as the community completes its southern phases, and the pace of new-construction permits is unlikely to slow until the remaining unsubdivided parcels are exhausted. For a comparable SE Calgary value tier with an older inner-SE built form and a different value cycle, the Albert Park / Radisson Heights profile covers the inner-SE alternative at a similar entry point, and the Inglewood profile shows the inner-city SE character counterpoint at a much higher value tier and a fundamentally different pattern. For a nearby SE comparison at an older postwar built form, the Acadia profile rounds out the reference set.
Common Questions About Legacy
Why are there two average values on this page?
The page shows two related but distinct figures because they come from two different official City of Calgary datasets with different aggregation methods. The Average Property Assessment (in the snapshot at the top of the page and in the "vs Calgary Average" card) is drawn from the City's live current-year assessment feed, using a broad aggregation across all residential parcels. The Year-End Assessment Roll figures in the Property Values chart and table below come from a separate dataset that captures each year's official year-end roll, using a narrower per-year methodology. Both are official data — the small difference between them is normal and reflects the different aggregation windows. For an at-a-glance current value, use the Average Property Assessment; for authoritative year-over-year trends, use the Assessment Roll.
What's the average house price in Legacy?
