Currie Barracks
Currie Barracks Calgary is a modern SW community built on the plateau above the Bow River valley — a redevelopment of the historical CFB Calgary military land that closed in 1998, with residential build-out phased through the 2010s. Average assessed values sit at $539K, below the citywide $539K, and they’ve climbed 23.3% year-over-year — well above the citywide 15.2% pace during the current cycle. What sets Currie Barracks apart on the map is the ex-military origin — the redevelopment has retained the parade square and some of the historic barracks buildings as heritage anchors — and a mixed residential form that combines detached houses with townhome and multi-family runs across a compact SW footprint. Currie Barracks is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Currie Barracks
The community holds 1,275 residents across 1,752 properties — a small footprint that keeps the resident population among the more intimately-scaled inner-SW communities. The age split shows a family-heavy community with a strong 40-to-64 presence balanced against a substantial 20-to-39 block, consistent with a redevelopment that has drawn mid-career professional families to the detached blocks and a younger renter and first-time-buyer base to the townhome and multi-family runs on the central redevelopment plan. Household incomes here run above the citywide median, consistent with the community's modern housing and inner-SW plateau setting. For a similar inner-SW community with a comparable master-planned redevelopment character, the Garrison Woods profile is the closest reference; for the adjacent SW community south, the Altadore profile is a closer reference on demographic curve.

Living in Currie Barracks
Housing is a mix of modern detached single-family homes on standard SW lots alongside meaningful runs of townhomes and multi-family buildings on the redevelopment’s central blocks — a mix designed into the 2000s master plan for the ex-CFB Calgary land. The community’s average build year sits around 2012, reflecting the phased build-out through the 2010s onward. Interior streets follow the master plan’s grid and radial layout, and the redevelopment has retained the historic parade square and select barracks buildings that anchor the community’s public-realm character. There is no CTrain station inside; the West LRT Red Line runs a drive north with the 45 Street and Westbrook stations providing the nearest downtown-bound rail commute. Crowchild Trail on the east opens fast connections to downtown and the wider central-Calgary network, and Glenmore Trail on the south is the east-west arterial for the outer SW. For a similar inner-SW community immediately north across Crowchild Trail with a comparable modern redevelopment character, the Garrison Woods profile is the closest reference — the two redevelopments were part of the same original CFB Calgary land envelope and share the master-planned build character; for a nearby inner-SW community immediately south, the Lincoln Park profile is a closer reference on the ex-military redevelopment story.
Things to do in Currie Barracks
The community’s clearest single amenity for civic-history interest is The Military Museums a short walk or drive east into Garrison Woods — a museum complex on Crowchild Trail that houses the four branch-service museums (Naval, Army, Air Force, Regimental) and is one of the country’s larger military-museum complexes. Mount Royal University sits directly south across Richmond Road SW in Lincoln Park and gives the community immediate proximity to a full-scale university campus for education, athletic facilities, and public lectures. Clear Water Academy — a private Catholic school — sits inside the community on the redevelopment plan. Weaselhead Flats and the Glenmore Reservoir shoreline sit a short drive south along Crowchild Trail, opening the community’s closest large-park destination with off-leash trails, birdwatching, and reservoir pathway access. Grocery and daily-services retail sits inside the community with a Canada Safeway anchoring the northeast corner of the redevelopment plan, and the wider 17 Avenue SW and Marda Loop retail strips are a short drive north. School catchments route to the wider inner-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 the community is easiest to find through the Currie Barracks business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Currie Barracks real-estate read
The community’s average assessed value sits at $539K, below the citywide $732K — a figure that reflects the substantial townhome and multi-family share in the redevelopment mix pulling the average down against the detached-only communities in the higher SW value bands. Values rose 23.3% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, running well ahead of the broader Calgary pace during the current cycle. Building activity is moderate: 118 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and infill on the last remaining redevelopment lots and secondary-suite additions on the built-out blocks. The community’s average build year sits at 2012, one of the newer per-property averages on any Calgary community page and consistent with the phased 2010s build-out. On safety, disorder runs at 40.8 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000 and one of the quieter figures on the inner-SW side. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For a similar inner-SW community immediately north across Crowchild Trail at a comparable price band, Garrison Woods is the closest reference on the ex-CFB redevelopment character; for a nearby inner-SW community north with the Marda Loop retail spine, South Calgary is a closer reference on inner-city character and daily amenities.
Common Questions About Currie Barracks
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.
