Who Lives in Highland Park
Highland Park holds 4,105 residents across 1,485 properties on the community's 1.7 km² NW footprint. The resident base runs a mixed profile reflecting the community's rental-heavy character — 64% of homes are rental, well above the citywide baseline, and household incomes have historically run below the citywide median. Immigrant share sits around 14%, close to the citywide baseline, and the community's resident mix draws a range of household types from long-tenured owners in the original 1946 postwar detached homes to renters in the small-unit condo additions and rental single-family houses that make up much of the housing mix. For a nearby community with a comparable postwar character, the Mount Pleasant profile covers a nearby S neighbour; for another north-central community at a similar value range, the Highwood profile covers the direct north neighbour.

Living in Highland Park
Housing in Highland Park runs a mixed north-central NW profile with an unusual rental character — around 51% detached with about 49% condos or apartments, and a very high 64% rental share that reflects both the community’s small-unit condo mix and rental single-family houses in the older detached blocks. The Highland golf course sits inside the northern portion of the community as a defining green space, and Queens Park Cemetery inside the southwest corner adds another significant green footprint on the community map — together they give the community a mixed residential-and-open-space character unusual for an inner-city NW community. Winston Heights/Mountview sits directly east across Edmonton Trail as the same-batch same-vintage NE peer, and Tuxedo Park sits south as a nearby inner-city NW-central peer with a similar walk-up character. For a same-batch peer community across the Edmonton Trail seam, the Winston Heights/Mountview profile is the direct east neighbour and closest reference; for a similar inner-city NW-central community with a comparable postwar-plus-walk-up character, the Tuxedo Park profile covers the direct south neighbour.
Things to do in Highland Park
The Highland golf course inside the northern portion of the community is a long-standing NW landscape feature and a defining outdoor anchor for Highland Park households. Queens Park Cemetery inside the southwest corner is one of Calgary’s older established cemeteries, adding both mature landscaping and quiet green space to the community — a rare combination of golf course and cemetery inside a single community’s boundary. Confederation Park sits south across 32 Avenue N — one of Calgary’s larger established urban parks with mature trees, pathways, and picnic areas that Highland Park households use as their nearest large-park anchor. Buchanan Elementary serves as the local CBE elementary school inside the community; older students attend Georges P. Vanier Junior High and James Fowler High School in the wider north-central Calgary CBE corridor. The three CBE schools together anchor the community’s school corridor and give Highland Park families a full elementary-through-secondary CBE pathway across the wider inner-NW. There is no CTrain station inside Highland Park; the closest LRT is on the Red Line further south, and the future Green Line is planned to run through the 4 Street NW corridor in the coming years but is not yet operational. Any specific business inside or near the community is easiest to find through the Highland Park business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Highland Park real-estate read
Highland Park’s average assessed value sits at $722K against the citywide $732K — a per-home read that reflects the community’s postwar detached-plus-condo mix on a 1.7 km² NW footprint with the Highland golf course and Queens Park Cemetery green space inside. Values rose 18.1% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, a sharper move than most inner-NW communities during the current cycle, driven by infill and redevelopment interest along the future Green Line corridor. Building activity for the community’s NW footprint sits at 163 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward interior renovations and infill redevelopment as older 1946 homes turn over on the assessment roll. The community’s average build year sits around 1975, reflecting the original postwar establishment and later renovation cycles. On safety, disorder runs at 67.7 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For a comparable NW community at a similar price range, the Montgomery profile is a close reference on value.
Common Questions About Highland Park
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 Highland Park?
The average assessed value in Highland Park sits at $722K against the citywide $732K — a per-home read that reflects the community's postwar detached-plus-condo mix on a 1.7 km² NW footprint. Assessed value is a property-tax measure and differs from a market sale price.
How is the Highland Park real estate market?
Highland Park's average assessed value rose 18.1% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace — a sharper move than most inner-NW communities during the current cycle, driven by infill and redevelopment interest along the future Green Line corridor and the community's mixed postwar-plus-walk-up housing mix.
Is Highland Park safe?
Disorder in Highland Park runs at 67.7 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000. Year-over-year, the community's disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. The disorder measure covers social-disorder calls handled by Calgary Police Service; overall crime is measured separately.
Is Highland Park a good place to live?
Highland Park pairs a mixed inner-NW postwar-and-walk-up housing footprint with the Highland golf course and Queens Park Cemetery green space inside the community and Confederation Park adjacent to the south. The fit for buyers depends on priorities: those wanting a mixed north-central NW community with rental-heavy character and future Green Line proximity tend to land here.
