Evergreen
Evergreen is a SW Calgary master-planned community at the deep-south edge of the city, bounded by 162 Avenue on the south, with Fish Creek Provincial Park along the north edge and Fish Creek Boulevard separating the newer Evergreen from the earlier Evergreen Estates on the western side. Evergreen Estates was established in 1986 and the main Evergreen phase followed in 1999, with build-out continuing through the 2010s and 2020s and an average year of construction across the current 8,595 assessed properties of 2005. The community spans 20,780 residents at the 2021 census, one of the largest SW Calgary residential footprints, with 274 new-construction permits since 2024 and 33 secondary-suite permits alongside zero demolitions signalling that the community is still building on its remaining vacant land while its interior homes cycles through basement-and-laneway suite conversions. Average assessed value sits at $582K, up 15.2% year-over-year and slightly ahead of the broader citywide assessment trend at +15.2%. The 9.6 disorder events per 1,000 residents work out to well below the citywide baseline of roughly 50 per 1,000, marking Evergreen as one of Calgary’s notably quiet SW communities. The community’s spot in the master-planned megasuburb and Fish Creek-adjacent cluster is part of the wider picture inside Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Evergreen
Evergreen's resident base skews strongly family-formation, and the master-planned school-anchored template is the structural reason. The 2021 census recorded 20,780 residents, and the 40-to-64 share is the largest of any age band at 39%, with the 0-to-19 share close behind at 28% — a full 67% of the community sits inside the family-and-school-age combined bands. The 20-to-39 share sits at 23% and the 65-plus share at 11%, well below the citywide average and consistent with a community that entered its first-ownership cycle in the late 1990s and early 2000s and has not yet accumulated a meaningful longer-tenure retirement layer. The composition tracks what a school-anchored, park-adjacent master-planned SW community with a mix of detached and attached homes would predict: established-career and family households cycling through the larger detached lots alongside a smaller young-adult layer in the townhome and multi-family blocks. The high family share is the structural driver of the school-and-park amenity investment inside the community, and the school catchment cluster is a self-reinforcing feature keeping the family-formation demographic dominant across the ownership cycle. For a SW Calgary comparison at a similar family-formation demographic and a different value tier, the Aspen Woods profile is the closest reference point inside the same quadrant at the upper end of the value band.

Living in Evergreen
Evergreen reads as one of SW Calgary’s larger master-planned communities at the fully-established-but-still-completing stage. The build template is post-2000 detached single-family on standard master-planned lots, with attached townhomes and mid-rise multi-family concentrated on the higher-density blocks and Evergreen Estates carrying a somewhat larger-lot detached pattern on the western side of Fish Creek Boulevard. The 2,692 m² aggregate-average lot footprint reflects the mix of standard residential lots and the multi-family and vacant parcels still on the assessment roll, and a typical Evergreen interior street has full mature canopy from the original 2000s and 2010s plantings alongside newer blocks where the canopy is still filling in. Fish Creek Provincial Park along the north edge is the structural amenity that defines the community’s setting: one of Canada’s largest urban parks at over 13 square kilometres, running east-west along the Fish Creek valley and connecting Evergreen east into the wider SE and SW pathway network. Transit is bus-served with the closest LRT access on the Red Line at Somerset-Bridlewood Station a short drive east, and a future LRT or BRT extension along 162 Avenue has been in planning discussion but is not currently operational. Retail draws on the Shawnessy commercial corridor a few kilometres east on Macleod Trail and the Buffalo Run area to the immediate west for closer trips. The build era and Fish Creek adjacency place Evergreen in the broader master-planned megasuburb and Fish Creek-adjacent cluster — for the directly adjacent SW peer immediately south across the 162 Avenue corridor, see the Bridlewood profile.
Things to do in Evergreen
The day-to-day amenity layer leans on Fish Creek Provincial Park, the school-anchored interior blocks, and the surrounding SW retail nodes. Fish Creek Provincial Park along the north edge is one of Canada’s largest urban parks and carries an extensive pathway network, off-leash zones, wooded trails, and multiple valley crossings, with access to the Bow River valley at the east end and connections into the broader SW and SE community networks. Schools inside the community include Evergreen Elementary and Marshall Springs Middle under the Calgary Board of Education catchment, alongside Dr Freda Miller Elementary and Our Lady of the Evergreens Elementary under the Catholic option, covering the primary and middle-school catchment inside the community boundaries. Beyond the community, the Shawnessy commercial corridor a few kilometres east on Macleod Trail carries the closest large-format retail including grocery, big-box stores, and restaurants, with Buffalo Run Shopping Centre to the immediate west handling closer-trip runs. For the directly adjacent SW peer to the east at a similar build era with different amenity access and a closer connection to the Red Line, the Shawnessy profile covers the eastern neighbour, and the Belmont profile shows the deeper-south SW alternative in the newer far-south developer cluster.
The Evergreen real-estate read
Average assessed value of $582K places Evergreen in the moderate band of SW Calgary master-planned value tiers, with the 15.2% year-over-year run-up slightly ahead of Calgary’s broader +15.2% assessment trend across the same cycle. The historical curve in the Property Values section above shows the path: the average climbed from $473K in 2023 to $514K in 2024, then to $592K in 2025 before settling at the current $580K reading, with most of the recent gain landing in the last two assessment cycles as the master-planned detached homes repriced through the broader market run-up. Building Activity is meaningful for a community of this size — 274 new-construction permits since 2024 sit alongside zero demolitions and 33 secondary-suite permits, signalling that the community is still adding first-build inventory in its remaining phases while established owners layer in basement and laneway suite conversions on the existing homes. The property count has grown from 8,378 at the end of 2023 to 8,595 today, another confirmation that the build-out cycle is still running rather than complete. The 33 secondary-suite permits also suggest the community is transitioning into a mode where suite-conversion rental income is a meaningful driver of ownership economics for a growing share of established households. For a comparable SW value tier at a different built form, the Cedarbrae profile covers the mid-SW variant at a similar price band. For an inner-SW value tier at a much more established build era and a fundamentally different setting, the Currie Barracks profile shows the master-planned inner-city SW alternative, and the Altadore profile covers the SW inner-city detached counterpoint at a much higher value tier and a much older built form.
Common Questions About Evergreen
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 Evergreen?

Is Evergreen a good place to live?
Evergreen suits family-formation and established-career households drawn by four named CBE and Catholic schools inside the community, Fish Creek Provincial Park along the north edge, and the master-planned park-and-pathway interior.
