Cedarbrae
Cedarbrae Calgary is a SW community where home values climbed 19.4% year-over-year, well above the citywide average of 15.2%. The community was established in 1973 on land annexed to the city in 1956, and sits between Southland Drive on the north, 24 Street W on the east, Anderson Road on the south, and Tsuut’ina Trail on the west against the Tsuu T’ina Nation boundary. All four sides are major arterials, so the interior streets stay quiet and traffic mostly stays on the perimeter. The immediate neighbours are Oakridge to the north, Palliser and Braeside on the east, and Woodbine and Woodlands on the south. Homes here are mostly 1973-era single-family detached on standard suburban lots, with attached townhomes along the collector streets and a smaller share of walk-up apartment buildings along the arterial streets. The disorder rate is 23.1 events per 1,000 residents, well below Calgary’s baseline of 53.5 per 1,000, which puts Cedarbrae among the quieter SW communities on the safety data. Average assessed value sits at $571K, about 26% below the citywide average of $732K, which makes Cedarbrae one of the more affordable SW entry points for families who want the SW quadrant without paying inner-ring prices. The community appears in the 1970s-1980s suburban group inside Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Cedarbrae
Cedarbrae's residents split roughly between long-tenured original owners who bought in the 1970s and a later wave of family buyers who moved in as those original owners sold. A meaningful share of residents are now in the empty-nester or retirement stage, still in the same house they bought when the community was new. The younger cohort is mostly families with school-age kids drawn by the moderate price point relative to the SW inner-ring communities to the north, and by the two schools inside the boundaries. Because Cedarbrae is fully built out and the housing hasn't turned over as fast as some inner-SW communities, the neighbour mix on any given street tends to be stable — the person next door has often been there for 20 or 30 years. The western edge along Tsuut'ina Trail — against Tsuu T'ina Nation land — is one of the distinctive things about living here, and it's noticeable if you're used to the interior-of-city feel of most SW communities. For a comparable SW 1970s peer to the north, the Oakridge profile is the closest reference.

Living in Cedarbrae
Cedarbrae is a 1973-built SW community that finished its build-out decades ago and has been settled in ever since. Homes are mostly detached single-family across the interior blocks on standard suburban lots, with townhomes along the busier collector streets and a few walk-up apartment buildings along the arterial streets. Streets have grown-in trees and mature landscaping — the kind of settled feel you only get from a community that’s been through a few full owner cycles. The four boundaries — Southland Drive, 24 Street W, Anderson Road, and Tsuut’ina Trail — are all major arterials, which is what keeps the interior quiet. The western boundary along Tsuut’ina Trail is where Cedarbrae hits the city edge against Tsuu T’ina Nation land, which is a distinctive edge condition that most SW communities don’t have, since most sit interior to the city. There’s no LRT station inside the community, so downtown commutes usually happen up 24 Street W to Macleod Trail, or east along Anderson Road to the Red Line stops in the wider SW ring. The community adjoins Oakridge, Palliser, Braeside, Woodbine, and Woodlands as the primary SW neighbours.
Things to do in Cedarbrae
Cedarbrae relies on the surrounding SW arterial retail nodes rather than any single interior anchor, which is typical for a 1970s SW community. Southland Drive along the north edge and Anderson Road along the south edge carry a mix of daily-service retail within a short drive, and the Anderson Road commercial corridor east of the community has the closest large-format retail — grocery, big-box stores, and services accessible via a direct arterial drive. Schools inside the community include Cedarbrae Elementary under the Calgary Board of Education and St. Cyril Elementary & Junior High under the Calgary Catholic School District, which cover the primary catchment inside the community boundaries. Beyond the community, the wider SW retail catchment includes Southland Crossing and the Anderson Road commercial corridor. For a SW peer at a comparable 1970s scale to the north, the Oakridge profile is the closest reference, and for a SW community at a very different era and price band on the far-south side of the ring, the Evergreen profile covers the 1999-era master-planned variant against Fish Creek Park.
The Cedarbrae real-estate read
Average assessed value sits at $571K, about 26% below the citywide average of $732K, which puts Cedarbrae in the moderate range of SW 1970s communities. The 19.4% year-over-year change runs well above the citywide 15.2% move, which is typical for a moderately-priced 1970s community catching up to the pricing curve. When the SW inner-ring communities to the north moved hard through the last few assessment cycles, communities like Cedarbrae followed later. Building activity is modest — this is a fully built-out community that trades on turnover rather than new construction, and most transactions are original owners selling into the family-buyer resale market. The Property Values section above shows the current distribution across the community, and the range within Cedarbrae is fairly narrow because the housing is consistent — most of the detached homes were built in a similar era on similar lot sizes. The disorder rate of 23.1 events per 1,000 residents sits well below the citywide 53.5 per 1,000 baseline, one of the quieter SW communities on the safety data. Buyers looking at Cedarbrae typically compare it against Oakridge to the north for a similar 1970s SW pattern, or Evergreen on the far-south side against Fish Creek Park for the newer 1999-era master-planned alternative at a similar price band. The right pick depends on what matters more — established trees and settled streets, or a newer build with a different street pattern.
Common Questions About Cedarbrae
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 Cedarbrae?
The average assessed value in Cedarbrae is $571K, about 26% below the citywide average of $732K.

How is the Cedarbrae real estate market?
Cedarbrae assessed values rose 19.4% year-over-year, well above the citywide 15.2% move.

Is Cedarbrae a good place to live?
Cedarbrae suits families drawn to the SW quadrant at a moderate price point, with Cedarbrae Elementary and St. Cyril Elementary & Junior High serving the primary catchment inside the community. All four boundaries are major arterials, so the interior streets stay quiet and cut-through traffic mostly stays on the perimeter.
