Collingwood
Collingwood is a NW Calgary community on the south side of Nose Hill Park, with John Laurie Boulevard NW forming the north edge across to the park, Confederation Park bordering on the south, and 14 Street NW on the east. Built form is squarely 1960s — the average year of construction across its 851 assessed properties is 1966, and the community sits in the broader 1970s-and-1980s NW Calgary suburban build wave that turned over the lots between Nose Hill and Confederation Park. Average lot size of 1,855 m² runs roughly three times what a postwar inner-SE Calgary community delivers, and the streets read as the wide-yard, full-canopy NW pattern rather than the tight-grid inner-city pattern. Average assessed value sits at $909K, up 14.4% year-over-year and essentially tracking the broader citywide assessment trend at +15.2%. Collingwood’s position south of Nose Hill Park and inside the 1970s-and-1980s NW suburban belt is part of the wider picture in Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Collingwood
Collingwood's resident base sits in the established-adult-dominant pattern of NW Calgary's first wave of suburban communities. The 2021 census recorded 2,290 residents, and the 40-to-64 share is the largest of any age band at 39% — the structural signal of a community where the original 1960s buyers have largely cycled out and a second wave of established-career and family households has moved in to take over the larger detached homes. The 20-to-39 and 0-to-19 shares each sit at 23%, with the 65-plus share at 15% reflecting some retained ownership from the earlier wave. The composition tracks what the large-lot NW suburban homes and the Confederation-Park-and-Nose-Hill park boundaries would predict: established detached owners with school-age children rather than the renter-heavy young-adult skew of the inner-city walk-up belt. For a NW comparison with a similar NW value tier and a slightly different built form, the Charleswood profile covers the directly western neighbour at the same Confederation Park southern boundary.

Living in Collingwood
Collingwood reads as one of NW Calgary’s quieter 1960s suburban communities with the slow infill cadence of a mature neighbourhood that has had decades to settle. Built form is detached single-family on unusually large lots — the 1,855 m² average is well above what most of NW Calgary’s later-build communities deliver, and a typical Collingwood street has deep front yards, two-car garages where the lots permit, and the mature canopy that comes with sixty years of established planting. The community sits in the band of NW Calgary suburban communities directly south of Nose Hill Park, with John Laurie Boulevard NW running along the north edge and the park on the far side; Nose Hill itself sits north across John Laurie Boulevard, and the access is via the park’s John Laurie crossings rather than from an interior community connection. Confederation Park forms the south edge and runs east-west between Collingwood and the older inner-NW communities further south. Transit is bus-served, with Brentwood Station on the Red Line a short drive southwest at Crowchild Trail and Brentwood Road providing the rail connection to downtown via the 7 Avenue platforms. Retail draws on Northland Village to the west and Market Mall further southwest in University Heights / Varsity, both outside the community boundary but within a few minutes’ drive. The build era and the large-lot NW suburban pattern place Collingwood squarely in the broader 1970s-and-1980s suburban cluster — the Brentwood profile covers the directly adjacent NW peer at a similar build era with the added University of Calgary and Red Line CTrain station context.
Things to do in Collingwood
The day-to-day amenity layer leans heavily on the two large parks that bound the community north and south. Nose Hill Park sits immediately north across John Laurie Boulevard NW — Calgary’s largest urban natural-environment park, off-leash on most of its 11 square kilometres, with ridge trails and big-sky views that residents of every NW community within a few kilometres rely on for daily walks. Confederation Park borders the south side and carries the Confederation Park Golf Course inside it, a nine-hole municipal course that operates seasonally, alongside the playfields and pathway network that connect Collingwood east-west to Cambrian Heights and west into Banff Trail. Canmore Park sits adjacent in the same cluster of NW parks and rounds out the green-space network within a short walk or drive, and the combined park footprint inside a 15-minute walking radius is among the densest in NW Calgary. Schools inside and adjacent to the community include Collingwood School at 3826 Collingwood Drive NW, a CBE elementary inside the boundaries, with Sir Winston Churchill High School at 5220 Northland Drive NW and St. Jean Brebeuf School on Northland Drive both serving the wider Brentwood-Collingwood catchment area for older grades and Catholic students respectively. Day-to-day retail draws on Northland Village Mall a short drive west and Market Mall further southwest in University Heights and Varsity, both outside the boundary but within a few minutes’ drive and carrying the closest large-format grocery and household-goods options. For a directly adjacent NW Calgary neighbour with the same Confederation Park southern boundary and a similar built form, the Cambrian Heights profile covers the eastern peer, and the Beddington Heights profile shows a slightly later NW suburban variant further north.
The Collingwood real-estate read
Average assessed value of $909K places Collingwood in the upper-mid band of NW Calgary’s 1960s suburban communities, with the 14.4% year-over-year run-up essentially in line with the broader citywide assessment trend at +15.2%. The historical curve in the Property Values section above shows the path: the average climbed from $692K in 2023 to $761K in 2024, then to $871K in 2025 and on to the current $907K reading, with most of the gain concentrated in the last two assessment cycles as NW Calgary’s larger-lot detached homes repriced through the broader market run-up. Building Activity is more active than the headline new-construction figure suggests — 74 new-construction permits since 2024 sit alongside 8 demolitions, signalling an infill turnover pattern where original 1960s homes are being scraped and replaced rather than renovated. The 1,855 m² average lot footprint is the structural driver of the infill economics: large lots support full rebuild projects at premium pricing, and the steady demolition count is the operating signal of that turnover cycle running quietly in the background. Disorder counts work out to 36.7 events per 1,000 residents, well below Calgary’s roughly 50-per-1,000 baseline. For comparable NW Calgary value tiers with a similar large-lot suburban pattern, the Macewan profile covers the further-NW peer in the same nose-hill-adjacent cluster at a slightly later build era, and the Arbour Lake profile shows the lake-community NW counterpoint at a different era and amenity setup. For a lower-density NW comparison with a different mix of build eras and a stronger river-valley anchor, the Bowness profile rounds out the cross-quadrant reference set.
Common Questions About Collingwood
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 Collingwood?
The average assessed value in Collingwood is $909K, with a typical lot at 1,855 m² — well above what most NW Calgary suburban communities deliver. The housing is dominated by detached 1960s single-family on large lots, with an average year built of 1966; values climbed from $692K in 2023 to $871K in 2025 before reaching the current reading.
How is the Collingwood real estate market?
Collingwood's assessed values rose 14.4% year-over-year, essentially in line with Calgary's broader +15.2% assessment trend. Building Activity is steady with 74 new-construction permits since 2024 alongside 8 demolitions, signalling an infill turnover where original 1960s homes are being scraped and replaced rather than renovated.
Are there schools in Collingwood?
Collingwood School, a Calgary Board of Education elementary at 3826 Collingwood Drive NW, sits inside the community. Sir Winston Churchill High School at 5220 Northland Drive NW and St. Jean Brebeuf School on Northland Drive both serve the wider Brentwood-Collingwood catchment area for older grades and Catholic students respectively.
Are there parks in Collingwood?
Nose Hill Park, Calgary's largest urban natural-environment park, sits immediately north across John Laurie Boulevard NW. Confederation Park borders the south side and carries the Confederation Park Golf Course inside it. Canmore Park sits adjacent and rounds out the park network within a short walk or drive.
Is Collingwood safe?
Collingwood records 49.8 disorder events per 1,000 residents, well below Calgary's roughly 50-per-1,000 baseline. The latest year-over-year change was essentially flat at +1.2%. The Safety section above shows the trend and how Collingwood compares with its NW quadrant peers and the citywide baseline.
Is Collingwood a good place to live?
Collingwood suits established-adult and family households comfortable with detached 1960s suburban living on large lots, daily access to Nose Hill Park immediately north and Confederation Park on the south side, and the trade-off of no LRT inside the community — Brentwood Station on the Red Line is the closest existing rail option, a short drive southwest.
