Millrise Calgary is a SW residential community established in 1982 on land annexed into Calgary in 1961, bounded to the north by 146 Avenue S, to the east by Macleod Trail, to the south by Shawnessy Boulevard, and to the west by James McKevitt Road. Average assessed values sit at $438K, modestly below the citywide $731K, and they’ve climbed 19.2% year-over-year — above the citywide 15.2% pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in southwest Calgary during the current cycle. What sets Millrise apart on the map is the community’s position at the interior seam of the far-south SW quadrant — Millrise sits west of Macleod Trail, with the Fish Creek Provincial Park corridor along the community’s northern boundary and the LRT-served Shawnessy retail node one arterial south. Millrise is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Millrise holds 6,655 residents across 3,229 properties, and the age split shows a community that has aged from initial build-out into a mix of mid-career and second-generation family ownership. The 40-to-64 band is the biggest single segment, consistent with a community established in 1982 where many of the original owners have stayed through several decades. The under-19 share reflects a second wave of family buyers turning over the community's original homes, and the senior share has grown as the first-buyer generation has moved into retirement across successive census cycles. Household incomes here have historically tracked near the citywide median. For a similar SW community with a comparable multi-decade family curve, the Midnapore profile is the closest reference on scale; for a further SW peer with a comparable family mix along the Fish Creek corridor, the Woodlands profile is the closer reference on demographic curve.

Living in Millrise
Housing is a mix of early-1980s and 1990s single-family detached homes on standard SW suburban lots, with a smaller share of townhomes and duplex infill on select interior blocks. Interior streets follow a curved crescent-and-cul-de-sac pattern connecting the community’s parks and pathway network, with mature landscaping across most blocks reflecting the community’s four-decade build-out. 146 Avenue S on the north separates Millrise from Shawnee Slopes and the Fish Creek Provincial Park corridor; Macleod Trail on the east separates the community from Midnapore across the arterial; Shawnessy Boulevard on the south separates the community from Shawnessy and the wider retail-and-LRT precinct; and James McKevitt Road on the west separates Millrise from Evergreen. Millrise is served by the Fish Creek-Lacombe CTrain Red Line station on the community’s north-east edge, giving residents direct LRT access to downtown without depending on a car for the commute, and the station’s location on the Fish Creek Park boundary means the walk in from most Millrise blocks is short. For a similar SW community immediately east across Macleod Trail with a comparable vintage and demographic curve, the Midnapore profile is the closest reference on adjacency; for a further SW peer along the Fish Creek corridor with a comparable family mix, the Woodlands profile is the closer reference on scale.
Things to do in Millrise
Millrise’s clearest single amenity is the Fish Creek Provincial Park corridor along the community’s northern boundary — the park runs continuously along the community’s north edge with pathway access into one of Calgary’s largest urban natural parks for walking, running, and cycling. The community’s LRT service via the Fish Creek-Lacombe station gives residents direct access into the wider Red Line network without depending on driving for the commute. Day-to-day retail is a short drive rather than inside the community grid: the Shawnessy retail precinct one arterial south along Shawnessy Boulevard carries grocery, big-box, restaurants, and daily-services retail, and the Midnapore retail node across Macleod Trail carries additional grocery and services. Our Lady of Peace Elementary and Junior High serves the K-9 Catholic catchment inside the community, and school catchments for other students route to the wider SW public and Catholic networks. Check the current Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School District attendance-area tools for the designated schools at a specific address. Any specific business inside Millrise is easiest to find through the Millrise business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Millrise real-estate read
Millrise’s average assessed value sits at $438K, modestly below the citywide $731K and reflecting the community’s early-1980s and 1990s detached and townhome mix. Values rose 19.2% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, above the broader Calgary pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in southwest Calgary during the current cycle. Building activity is modest for a community of this size: 96 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation, secondary-suite additions, and small-scale infill on the community’s original detached blocks. The community’s average build year sits around 1995, consistent with the 1982 establishment and the build-out that ran through the 1990s. The property values panel above shows how prices break across the community. On safety, disorder runs at 21.6 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000, one of the quieter figures in southwest Calgary. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate rose compared with the year before. For a same-value SW community immediately east across Macleod Trail, the Midnapore profile is the closest reference on price; for a further SW peer at a comparable LRT access and family mix, the Queensland profile is the closer reference on scale.
FAQ
Common Questions About Millrise
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 Millrise?
The average assessed value in Millrise is $438K based on the City of Calgary's 2025 property assessments, modestly below the citywide average of $731K. Most of the housing is early-1980s and 1990s single-family detached homes, with a smaller share of townhomes and duplex infill on select blocks.
How is the Millrise real estate market?
Millrise values rose 19.2% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% gain, above the broader Calgary pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in southwest Calgary. 96 permits have been filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and secondary-suite additions on the community's original detached blocks.
Is Millrise a good place to live?
Millrise suits family buyers who want a southwest Calgary address with the Fish Creek Provincial Park corridor along the northern boundary, direct LRT service via the Fish Creek-Lacombe CTrain station, and short access to the Shawnessy retail precinct. The trade-off is that day-to-day retail sits at the edge rather than inside the community grid.
Is Millrise safe?
Millrise records 21.6 disorder events per 1,000 residents in the City's latest year, well below the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000 — one of the quieter figures in southwest Calgary. Year-over-year the community's disorder rate rose compared with the year before.
What is Millrise known for?
Millrise is best known for its Fish Creek Provincial Park frontage on the northern boundary, direct LRT service via the Fish Creek-Lacombe CTrain Red Line station, and its position west of Macleod Trail in southwest Calgary between Shawnee Slopes and the Shawnessy retail precinct. The community was established in 1982 on land annexed into Calgary in 1961.
