Cambrian Heights holds 2,000 residents across 739 properties on the community's small 0.9 km² NW footprint. The resident base skews established — the community's postwar detached character means many owners have long-tenured residency, while the roughly 34% rental share reflects a mix of secondary suites in older detached homes and the small walk-up condo additions. Household incomes have historically run around the citywide median, in line with the community's mid-range postwar character and small-lot Nose Hill-adjacent location. Immigrant share sits modestly below the citywide baseline at around 13%, giving the community a demographic profile that mirrors older inner-city NW Calgary rather than the newer NW master-planned communities further north. For a similar NW postwar community with a comparable Nose Hill-adjacent character, the North Haven profile covers the direct north neighbour; for another NW community at a similar value range, the Edgemont profile covers a comparable NW peer.

Living in Cambrian Heights
Housing in Cambrian Heights is dominated by postwar single-family detached homes — around 89% of the community’s homes are detached, with only about 11% condos or apartments. Rental share sits around 34%, above the citywide baseline and driven by the community’s mix of secondary suites in postwar detached homes and small walk-up condo additions. 14 Street NW along the west boundary is one of Calgary’s older north-south residential arterials with quick south connections into inner-city NW Calgary and north connections toward Beddington Trail and the wider north NW. Nose Hill Park sits directly northwest as the community’s defining outdoor edge; the ridge and off-leash trails open right off Cambrian Heights interior streets. North Haven sits directly north as the same-era NW-central peer, and Highwood sits east across the Cambrian corridor. Rosemont sits south as another established postwar NW-central peer, and Collingwood sits south of Rosemont — the wider NW-central postwar corridor stretches south all the way to Mount Pleasant and the inner-city Central Calgary ring. For a similar NW postwar community with a comparable Nose Hill-adjacent character, the North Haven profile is the direct north neighbour; for another NW postwar community at a similar price and mix, the Highwood profile covers the direct east neighbour.
Things to do in Cambrian Heights
Nose Hill Park immediately northwest is the community’s biggest outdoor draw — the ridge trails and off-leash portions are a short walk from any Cambrian Heights interior street, and the park’s downtown-facing viewpoints are among Calgary’s most-used sunset spots for the wider NW. 14 Street NW along the west edge is a quick connection south into inner-city NW Calgary and north into the wider NW retail corridor. Mount Pleasant sits southeast as the closer inner-city NW-central peer with retail, restaurants, and services along its wider commercial corridor. John Laurie Boulevard along the north edge connects west toward the wider Nose Hill Park boundary and east into the Highland Park and Highwood corridor. There is no CTrain station inside Cambrian Heights; most residents drive for downtown trips, and the closest LRT is on the Red Line further south. Any specific business inside or near the community is easiest to find through the Cambrian Heights business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Cambrian Heights real-estate read
Cambrian Heights’ average assessed value sits at $866K against the citywide $731K — a per-home read that reflects the community’s postwar detached mix on a Nose Hill-adjacent 0.9 km² NW footprint. Values rose 14.5% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, closely tracking the wider Calgary market during the current cycle. Building activity for the community’s small footprint sits at 94 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward interior renovations and infill redevelopment as older 1957 homes turn over on the assessment roll. The community’s average build year sits around 1964, reflecting the original postwar establishment and later interior renovation cycles. Values in the community are held up by the direct Nose Hill Park adjacency plus the small footprint that keeps inventory thin — a combination that has kept per-home prices ahead of the wider NW postwar corridor. On safety, disorder runs at 36 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate fell compared with the year before. For a comparable NW postwar community at a similar price range, the Charleswood profile is a close reference on value.
FAQ
Common Questions About Cambrian Heights
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 Cambrian Heights?
The average assessed value in Cambrian Heights sits at $866K against the citywide $731K — a per-home read that reflects the community's postwar detached mix on a Nose Hill-adjacent 0.9 km² NW footprint. Assessed value is a property-tax measure and differs from a market sale price.
How is the Cambrian Heights real estate market?
Cambrian Heights' average assessed value rose 14.5% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, closely tracking the wider Calgary market during the current cycle. The community's small footprint and 89% detached mix mean inventory is thin, with values held up by direct Nose Hill Park adjacency.
Is Cambrian Heights a good place to live?
Cambrian Heights pairs a small NW postwar detached mix with direct Nose Hill Park adjacency on the northwest edge and quick 14 Street NW access into inner-city NW Calgary. The fit for buyers depends on priorities: those wanting a detached-heavy NW postwar community with off-leash-park adjacency tend to land here.
Is Cambrian Heights safe?
Disorder in Cambrian Heights runs at 36 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000. Year-over-year, the community's disorder rate fell compared with the year before. The disorder measure covers social-disorder calls handled by Calgary Police Service; overall crime is measured separately.
