Who Lives in Douglasdale/Glen
Douglasdale/Glen holds 12,920 residents across 5,590 properties on the community's 5.1 km² SE footprint. The resident base skews owner-heavy and stable — rental share sits at roughly 2%, one of the lowest of any Calgary community, and detached ownership is essentially the entire housing mix. Household incomes have historically run above the citywide median, in line with the essentially all-detached SE Bow River character and the family-suburban pattern of the 1986-cycle buildout. Immigrant share runs moderate at around 15%, and the resident base is largely long-tenured mid-career and family households with children in the local school system. For a comparable SE detached community at a similar price and mix, the Mahogany profile covers a nearby SE peer with lake amenity and a larger residential base further south along the Bow River corridor toward the SE new-build cluster.

Living in Douglasdale/Glen
Housing in Douglasdale/Glen is essentially all single-family detached — the community was built out from 1986 through the 1990s along the SE Bow River corridor, giving it a fabric of curved-street suburban design, developer-set lot sizes, and mature landscaping across the three sub-segments. Douglasdale is the original northern sub-segment closest to Riverbend across 114 Avenue S; Douglas Glen sits at the community’s centre; Quarry Park is the southern mixed-use sub-segment with an office and light-commercial cluster alongside residential blocks. The Bow River along the community’s entire western boundary is the community’s primary outdoor anchor — the Bow River pathway on the west edge is a paved multi-use loop for cycling, running, and off-leash dog walking, and connects north into the wider Riverbend and Inglewood pathway network and south toward Fish Creek Provincial Park access. Fish Creek Provincial Park borders the community along the south and west corridor as one of Calgary’s largest urban parks — adjacent along the Bow River corridor rather than inside the community boundary. Deerfoot Trail on the east edge is the primary freeway connector into central and NE Calgary. Douglasdale Elementary (CBE) and Monsignor J. S. Smith School (CCSD) serve the community as the local designated public and Catholic schools. For a same-batch peer along the same SE Bow River corridor, the Shepard Industrial profile is the direct NE neighbour and closest reference.
Things to do in Douglasdale/Glen
The Bow River pathway along the western edge is the community’s primary outdoor draw — a paved multi-use loop connecting Douglasdale/Glen into the wider SE Bow River pathway network for cycling, running, and off-leash dog walking. Fish Creek Provincial Park borders the community along the south and west corridor with additional multi-use trails, off-leash areas, and picnic sites along the Fish Creek corridor. Quarry Park in the southern sub-segment holds an office and light-commercial cluster with restaurants and services concentrated at ground level, giving the community a distinctive southern mixed-use pocket alongside the residential blocks. The Riverbend profile covers the direct north peer across 114 Avenue S with a similar Bow River corridor character. Any specific business inside or near the community is easiest to find through the Douglasdale/Glen business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records. For another SE detached community at a similar Bow River corridor character, the McKenzie Towne profile is a close reference on scale and mix along the southern corridor.
The Douglasdale/Glen real-estate read
Douglasdale/Glen’s average assessed value sits at $668K against the citywide $732K, reflecting the community’s essentially all-detached SE suburban mix along the Bow River corridor. Values rose 13.5% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, tracking the wider Calgary market during the current cycle. Building activity sits at 208 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward interior renovations and infill work as the original 1986-cycle homes turn over on the assessment roll and as the Quarry Park mixed-use sub-segment continues its measured redevelopment. The community’s average build year sits around 2000, reflecting the concentrated 1986-through-1990s buildout across the three sub-segments. On safety, disorder runs at 14 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000 — well below the citywide baseline. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For another SE detached community at a similar Bow River corridor and price range, the Chaparral profile is a close reference on character and mix.
Common Questions About Douglasdale/Glen
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.
