Silverado
Silverado Calgary is a SW community where home values climbed 19.5% year-over-year, against the citywide average of +15.2%. The community was established in 2005 on land annexed to the city in 1984, and sits south of Stoney Trail, north of 194 Avenue SW, west of Sheriff King Street, and east of the Spruce Meadows equestrian sports facility. What defines Silverado right now is the pace of construction. Since 2024, the City has issued 397 new-construction permits inside the community — one of the highest counts in far-south Calgary — and the community is still working through its build-out two decades in. Homes are post-2005 detached single-family across the interior blocks on standard master-planned lots, attached townhomes along the busier collector streets, and estate-scale lots on the western portion running toward Spruce Meadows. A wetlands buffer approved in 2004 separates the community from the equestrian facility. The disorder rate is 14.8 events per 1,000 residents, well below Calgary’s baseline of roughly 54 per 1,000, which puts Silverado among the quietest far-south communities on the safety data. Average assessed value sits at $663K, below the citywide average of $732K, and the community appears in the master-planned megasuburb group inside Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Silverado
Silverado is mostly families and mid-career move-up buyers who've entered the community since the mid-2000s. The under-19 share is meaningful because the detached and attached inventory here is sized for family households across the interior blocks. Original owners from the mid-to-late 2000s are still here on many streets, and they're now mostly in the middle stages of parenting rather than empty-nester or retirement. The share of older residents is small because the community's first buyers haven't aged into retirement yet. The estate-scale lots on the western portion running toward Spruce Meadows attract a different set of buyers — often higher-income households later in their careers who want a larger lot and the equestrian views. The moderate price point across the interior blocks is what makes Silverado a natural entry into the SW quadrant for families who can't afford the older SW inner-ring communities closer to the core. For a SW-adjacent master-planned peer at a similar era on the SE side of Macleod Trail, the Chaparral profile is the closest cross-arterial reference.

Living in Silverado
Silverado is a 2005-established SW community that’s still filling in — the western subdivisions along the edge next to Spruce Meadows are layering on new detached and attached inventory, while the older interior blocks closer to Sheriff King Street have settled in. Homes here mix detached single-family across the interior on standard master-planned lots, attached townhomes along the collector streets connecting the arterials, and estate-scale lots on the western portion running toward Spruce Meadows. Streetscapes vary by subdivision — brand new on the west side, more established with grown-in landscaping on the interior. The four boundaries are all arterials or major features: Stoney Trail on the north, 194 Avenue SW on the south, Sheriff King Street on the east, and Spruce Meadows on the west — which makes Silverado a self-contained pocket in far-south Calgary. There’s no operational LRT station serving the community. The Red Line’s planned Silverado stations at 210 Avenue are marked for a future extension south, but until that opens, there’s no rail inside the community. The wetlands buffer approved in 2004 keeps a strip of natural land between residential blocks and the Spruce Meadows facility, which preserves the equestrian character of the western edge. Silverado adjoins Bridlewood, Somerset, Sundance, and Chaparral as the surrounding neighbours, and the Somerset-Bridlewood Red Line Station across Macleod Trail east is the closest existing rail into downtown.
Things to do in Silverado
Most of the daily routine in Silverado revolves around Spruce Meadows immediately west and the surrounding retail along Macleod Trail and Sheriff King Street. Spruce Meadows is one of Calgary’s more recognized equestrian venues and hosts international show-jumping events and community programming through the summer months. The wetlands buffer approved in 2004 between the community and Spruce Meadows provides a natural greenspace edge on the western side. The Shawnessy commercial corridor along Macleod Trail is where most residents head for groceries, big-box stores, restaurants, and daily services — it’s a short drive from anywhere in the community. Beyond the perimeter, the wider south Calgary retail catchment covers most other needs within a 10 to 15 minute drive. For a SW-adjacent peer at a comparable era on the SE side of Macleod Trail, the Chaparral profile is the closest comparison, and for a SW-adjacent lake community reference on the SE side, the Lake Bonavista profile covers the earlier lake-community variant. On the SW side, the Bridlewood profile is the immediate neighbour at a similar era.
The Silverado real-estate read
Average assessed value sits at $663K, below the citywide average of $732K, which puts Silverado in the moderate range of SW master-planned communities. The 19.5% year-over-year change runs against the citywide +15.2% move — typical for a community that’s still building, because the mix of newer inventory coming online at a higher price point pulls the average up faster than fully-settled peers. Building activity is very heavy: 397 new-construction permits since 2024, driven by continued build-out along the western subdivisions and the wider community. That pace has kept pricing moving faster than surrounding fully-settled peers. The Property Values section above shows the current distribution across the community, and there’s meaningful range between the standard detached interior blocks and the estate-scale lots on the west. The disorder rate of 14.8 events per 1,000 residents sits well below the citywide 49.6 per 1,000 baseline, one of the quietest far-south communities on the safety data. Buyers typically compare Silverado against Chaparral across Macleod Trail on the SE side, or Bridlewood as the immediate SW neighbour at a similar era. Because the community is still being built, expect the school-and-retail map to keep filling in over the next few years.
Common Questions About Silverado
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 Silverado?
The average assessed value in Silverado is $663K, below the citywide average of $732K. Homes here are post-2005 detached single-family on standard master-planned lots across the interior, with attached townhomes on the collector streets and a share of estate-scale lots on the western portion running toward Spruce Meadows.
How is the Silverado real estate market?
Silverado assessed values rose 19.5% year-over-year, against the citywide +15.2% move. Building activity is very heavy: 397 new-construction permits since 2024, one of the highest counts in far-south Calgary, driven by ongoing build-out along the western subdivisions next to Spruce Meadows.
Is Silverado a good place to live?
Silverado suits families and mid-career move-up buyers looking for post-2005 SW inventory at a moderate price band. Spruce Meadows is immediately west with a wetlands buffer between the two, and the Shawnessy commercial corridor along Macleod Trail has the closest large-format retail within a short drive.
Is Silverado safe?
Silverado records 14.8 disorder events per 1,000 residents, well below Calgary's baseline of roughly 54 per 1,000. It's one of the quietest far-south communities on the safety data.
