Braeside Calgary is a SW residential community established in 1965, located north of Anderson Road, south of Southland Drive, west of 14 Street SW, and east of 24 Street SW. Average assessed values sit at $517K, modestly below the citywide $732K, and they’ve climbed 19% year-over-year — above the citywide 15.2% pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in the SW postwar-into-1970s belt during the current cycle. What sets Braeside apart on the map is the community’s position in the cluster of SW mid-century residential communities around the Glenmore Reservoir corridor — Braeside sits between older SW neighbourhoods to the north and the wider Fish Creek corridor communities to the south. Braeside is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Braeside
Braeside holds 5,700 residents across 2,539 properties. The community has a well-established resident base with a family-heavy character and an above-baseline senior share, as the original 1965-era buyers have aged into retirement across several decades. The 40-to-64 band is the biggest single segment, the 65-plus share sits notably above the citywide baseline, and the under-19 share reflects a second wave of family buyers turning over the community's original homes. Braeside has a substantial immigrant share and a visible multicultural mix that has built up across the community's mid-tenure and long-tenure resident base — around 20% of residents are immigrants per the most recent census data. Household incomes here have historically tracked near the citywide median, consistent with a family-and-detached ownership pattern in an established SW community. For a similar SW community with a comparable multi-decade demographic curve, the Palliser profile is the closest reference on scale; for a same-vintage SW peer immediately south with a comparable family mix, the Woodlands profile is the closer reference on adjacency.

Living in Braeside
Housing is a mix of late-1960s and 1970s single-family detached homes and townhomes on standard SW suburban lots, with a smaller share of duplex and multi-unit infill on select interior blocks. Interior streets follow a grid-and-crescent pattern with mature landscaping across most blocks, reflecting the community’s fifty-plus-year build-out. Anderson Road on the south separates the community from Woodlands and the Fish Creek corridor communities; Southland Drive on the north separates the community from Palliser and Pump Hill; 14 Street SW on the east separates Braeside from Southwood; and 24 Street SW on the west separates the community from Oakridge. There is no CTrain station inside Braeside; the community is bus-served into the wider SW transit network, and the closest Red Line stations along Macleod Trail sit a short drive east across 14 Street SW. Note that John Ware Junior High School sits immediately north of the community rather than inside — a common SW-Calgary pattern where school catchments straddle community boundaries. For a similar SW community immediately north with a comparable vintage and demographic curve, the Palliser profile is the closest reference on scale; for a same-vintage SW peer immediately south across Anderson Road, the Woodbine profile is the closer reference on adjacency.
Things to do in Braeside
Braeside’s clearest single amenity is the community’s own Braeside Shopping Centre — a mid-scale retail node inside the community serving grocery, restaurants, and daily-services needs, uncommon for a SW community of this size where retail typically sits at the edge rather than inside the interior. The wider SW amenity network sits within a short drive: the Fish Creek Provincial Park network south of Anderson Road provides pathway and off-leash access into one of Calgary’s largest urban parks, and the Glenmore Reservoir corridor further NW is a short drive along 14 Street SW. Braeside Elementary School sits inside the community as the main K-6 public school. School catchments for older students route to the wider SW public and Catholic networks — John Ware Junior High is immediately north of the community, and older public and Catholic schools sit at Anderson Road and along Macleod Trail. 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 Braeside is easiest to find through the Braeside business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Braeside real-estate read
Braeside’s average assessed value sits at $517K, modestly below the citywide $732K and reflecting the community’s late-1960s and 1970s detached and townhome mix. Values rose 19% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, above the broader Calgary pace and one of the sharper single-year moves in the SW belt during the current cycle. Building activity is modest for a community of this size: 91 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation, secondary-suite additions, and small-scale infill on original detached blocks. The community’s average build year sits around 1974, consistent with the 1965 establishment and the build-out that ran through the 1970s. The property values panel above shows how prices break across the community. On safety, disorder runs at 25.6 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000, one of the quieter figures in SW Calgary. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For a same-value SW community immediately north with a comparable vintage, the Palliser profile is the closest reference on price and demographic curve; for a similar SW peer immediately south across Anderson Road, the Woodbine profile is the closer reference on adjacency.
Common Questions About Braeside
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 Braeside?

Braeside values rose 19% 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 belt. 91 permits have been filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and secondary-suite additions on the original detached blocks.
Is Braeside a good place to live?
Braeside suits family buyers who want a SW address with the Braeside Shopping Centre inside the community, short access to Fish Creek Provincial Park south across Anderson Road, and a well-established resident base.
