Glenbrook
Glenbrook Calgary is a SW postwar residential community established in 1958 on land partly annexed into Calgary in 1954 and partly in 1956, bounded to the north by 26 Avenue S, to the east by 37 Street W, to the south by Richmond Road, and to the west by Sarcee Trail. Average assessed values sit at $659K, modestly below the citywide $659K and $732K, and they’ve climbed 17.9% year-over-year — above the citywide 15.2% pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in the SW postwar belt during the current cycle. What sets Glenbrook apart on the map is the community’s position in the cluster of postwar-era SW communities west of Crowchild Trail — Glenbrook sits between the older 1950s postwar streets on the east and the newer 1970s-and-1980s communities to the west, and the community’s mix of detached bungalows and mid-century condo infill along the arterials tracks the SW postwar pattern. Glenbrook is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Glenbrook
Glenbrook holds 7,240 residents across 2,483 properties. The community has a well-established resident base with a family-heavy character alongside a substantial younger-renter share drawn to the community's condo and apartment blocks along the arterials. The 40-to-64 band is a strong single segment, and the 20-to-39 band reflects the renter-heavy composition along the community's condo and apartment blocks, one of the higher younger-renter shares in the SW postwar belt. Around 20% of residents are immigrants per the historical census data, and household incomes here have historically tracked near the citywide median. For a similar SW postwar community with a comparable renter share, the Glendale profile is the closest reference on demographic curve; for a same-vintage NW postwar peer at a comparable price band, the Banff Trail profile is the closer reference on cross-city vintage.

Living in Glenbrook
Housing is dominated by 1950s and 1960s single-family detached postwar bungalows on standard SW lots, alongside a substantial condo and apartment share along the community’s arterials — roughly 36% of buildings are condos or apartments, and roughly 46% of the housing is rented, a substantial renter share for a SW postwar community. Interior streets follow a grid pattern with mature landscaping across most blocks. 26 Avenue S on the north separates Glenbrook from Rutland Park and the wider inner-SW grid; 37 Street W on the east separates the community from Glendale; Richmond Road on the south separates the community from Killarney/Glengarry and the wider SW postwar belt; and Sarcee Trail on the west separates Glenbrook from Glamorgan and the wider outer-SW commercial and residential zone. There is no CTrain station inside Glenbrook; the 45 Street CTrain Red Line station sits on the Glendale and Westgate seam one arterial east across 37 Street W, providing the nearest live LRT connection into downtown. For a similar SW postwar community immediately east across 37 Street W, the Glendale profile is the closest reference on adjacency and vintage; for a further SW peer with a comparable postwar detached-and-condo mix, the Westgate profile is the closer reference on demographic curve.
Things to do in Glenbrook
Glenbrook’s clearest single amenity is its school density inside the community — Glenbrook Elementary and A.E. Cross Junior High on the public side, alongside St. Gregory Elementary-Junior High and St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary on the Catholic side, and Calgary Christian as an additional school, cover K-9 catchments directly inside the community. Day-to-day retail is a short drive rather than inside the community grid: the Westhills retail precinct further west along Sarcee Trail, the Westbrook Mall retail node further east, and the retail nodes along Richmond Road on the community’s south edge carry grocery, restaurants, and daily-services retail. Sarcee Trail on the west provides quick driving access south to Glenmore Trail and north to Bow Trail; Richmond Road on the south routes east-west through the inner-SW grid. School catchments for older 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 Glenbrook is easiest to find through the Glenbrook business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Glenbrook real-estate read
Glenbrook’s average assessed value sits at $659K, modestly below the citywide $732K and reflecting the community’s 1950s and 1960s postwar detached-and-condo mix. Values rose 17.9% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, above the broader Calgary pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in the SW postwar belt during the current cycle. Building activity is moderate: 224 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation, secondary-suite additions, and select infill teardowns on the community’s original postwar bungalow blocks alongside continued condo redevelopment along the arterials. The community’s average build year sits around 1978, consistent with the 1958 establishment and the postwar build-out through the 1960s. The property values panel above shows how prices break across the community. On safety, disorder runs at 34.4 events per 1,000 residents — moderate against the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000, reflecting the community’s mixed inner-SW postwar-and-condo character. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For a same-value SW postwar community immediately east across 37 Street W, the Glendale profile is the closest reference on price; for a further SW peer at a comparable price band, the Westgate profile is the closer reference on scale.
Common Questions About Glenbrook
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 Glenbrook?

How is the Glenbrook real estate market?
Glenbrook values rose 17.9% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% gain, above the broader Calgary pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in the SW postwar belt. 224 permits have been filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation, infill teardowns, and continued condo redevelopment along the arterials.
Is Glenbrook a good place to live?
Glenbrook suits buyers who want a SW postwar address with school density above the SW average, short access to the 45 Street CTrain Red Line station across 37 Street W, and the Westhills and Westbrook retail nodes within a short drive. The trade-off is that day-to-day retail sits at the edge rather than inside the community grid.

What is Glenbrook known for?

The community was established in 1958 on land annexed into Calgary in 1954 and 1956.
