Palliser Calgary is an established SW community formally established in 1967 and named after John Palliser, an early explorer and geographer of western Canada, bounded by 90 Avenue SW on the north, 19 Street SW on the east, Southland Drive SW on the south, and 24 Street SW on the west. Until 1991, Palliser also included the community of Pump Hill (which is now its own separate neighbourhood). Most of the housing is late-1960s and 1970s single-family detached on generous SW-suburb lots, and the community’s average year built is 1981. The average assessed value sits at $652K, below the citywide $731K, with values up 17.5% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% — ahead of the broader market. Palliser is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Palliser holds 3,285 residents across 1,410 properties, and the age split is one of the most mature in Calgary. Kids and teens under 19 come in at roughly 515 — a small share reflecting a community past its family-formation phase. The 20-to-39 band is 825 residents, and the 40-to-64 band is 895. But the biggest single group is residents 65 or older at about 1,050 people — roughly 32% seniors, one of the highest senior shares in any Calgary community and a signature of a neighbourhood where original 1970s owners have stayed and are now aging in place. That combination reads on the ground as an overwhelmingly established community: mature landscaping, long-time neighbours, and a slower turnover pattern than most Calgary communities where younger buyers cycle in more frequently. For a similar established SW community with a comparable senior-heavy age profile, the Bayview profile is the closest reference on age curve.

Living in Palliser
Palliser reads as established SW Calgary at street level. Most of the housing is late-1960s and 1970s single-family detached on generous SW-suburb lot sizes — the community’s average lot area is one of the larger residential lot averages in Calgary and reflects the era’s more generous suburban planning before smaller-lot subdivisions became the norm. Interior streets follow looping subdivision patterns typical of late-1960s SW builds, and mature trees now line most blocks after five decades of growth. Tom Brook Athletic Park sits inside the community as a working sports facility with fields for baseball and soccer. There’s no LRT inside Palliser; residents drive Southland Drive on the south edge or 24 Street SW on the west edge for arterial access, and the closest CTrain access is a short drive from the community’s edges. The community’s small footprint and single-family character give Palliser a genuinely quiet residential feel — recorded crime rates across 2018-2023 have run 0.4 to 1.3 per 100 residents, among the lowest in Calgary. Streetscapes reflect five-plus decades of continuous single-family use: 1960s and 1970s bungalows sit next to houses that have been renovated once or twice, mature trees line most interior blocks, and the yard sizes stay generous by comparison to newer smaller-lot developments elsewhere in the city. For a similar established SW community with a comparable age profile, the Patterson profile is the closest reference.
Things to do in Palliser
Palliser is a primarily residential community without a defining commercial anchor of its own — day-to-day retail happens along the community’s edges. Residents drive out to the wider inner-SW commercial network at Southland Drive and Macleod Trail for grocery, restaurants, and services, or west toward the newer Signal Hill retail cluster. Tom Brook Athletic Park inside the community provides open-space and sports facility programming, and the wider SW ravine and pathway network gives residents access to green corridors within a short drive. Schools inside Palliser are Nellie McClung Elementary and John Ware Junior High on the public side under the Calgary Board of Education, plus St. Benedict Elementary on the Catholic side under the Calgary Catholic School District. Older students at higher grades continue in adjacent SW community catchments as their programs transition. Any specific business inside Palliser itself is easiest to find through the Palliser business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records for the community.
The Palliser real-estate read
Palliser’s average assessed value sits at $652K, below the citywide $731K — a reflection of the community’s late-1960s and 1970s housing at a mid-tier SW price point. Values rose 17.5% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, well ahead of the citywide gain — an established SW community whose generous lot sizes and mature-treed character are drawing buyers who see real value in older homes at a price below the citywide average. Building activity is modest: 61 permits filed since 2024, dominated by new-construction infill on remaining older lots and light renovation work across the 1970s detached homes. The market here turns over slowly — the high senior share and long-time-owner pattern mean listings come up sparingly, and buyers typically compete for the few homes that come on the market each year. On safety, disorder runs at 39.9 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000, one of the quietest communities in Calgary. For a similar-value SW community for reference, the Silverado profile is the closest reference on price; for a similar established SW community with a comparable inner-SW character, the Altadore profile is the closer reference on age and setting.
FAQ
Common Questions About Palliser
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 Palliser?
The average assessed value in Palliser Calgary is $652K, below the citywide average of $731K. Most of the housing is late-1960s and 1970s single-family detached on generous SW-suburb lots, with mature landscaping now visible after five decades of growth.
How is the Palliser real estate market?
Palliser's assessed values rose 17.5% year-over-year, well ahead of the citywide 15.2% gain. 61 permits filed since 2024, dominated by new-construction infill and light renovation work, point to a community where the older homes is being updated rather than replaced.
Is Palliser a good place to live?
Palliser works well for buyers who want an established quiet SW community with generous lot sizes, mature landscaping, Tom Brook Athletic Park inside the community, and Southland Drive on the south edge for arterial access. The trade-off is no LRT and modest interior retail; the payoff is one of Calgary's quieter and most established SW neighbourhoods.
Is Palliser safe?

What is Palliser known for?
Palliser is known for two things: its named heritage — John Palliser was an early explorer and geographer of western Canada — and its position as one of Calgary's more mature SW residential communities with roughly 32% of residents aged 65 or older, one of the highest senior shares in any Calgary neighbourhood.
