Meadowlark Park Calgary is a small SW residential community established in 1955, sitting immediately west of the Chinook Centre retail corridor in Manchester, east of Elbow Drive, and north of Glenmore Trail. The community holds 610 residents across 282 properties — one of the smaller populations of any Calgary community. Average assessed value runs at $866K, compared with the citywide $731K and reflecting the community’s all-detached postwar housing on standard SW lots. Values rose 13.3% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, tracking the broader Calgary pace during the current cycle. What sets Meadowlark Park apart on the map is its position immediately west of the Chinook Centre retail corridor and its namesake — the Western meadowlark songbird. Meadowlark Park is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Meadowlark Park holds 610 residents across 282 properties — one of the smaller populations of any Calgary community. The community has a well-established resident mix with a family and middle-age character alongside a substantial senior share, reflecting the 1955 establishment and the long tenure of many original buyers. About 24% of residents are immigrants — roughly in line with the citywide baseline. Household incomes have historically tracked around the citywide median. Rental housing runs around 14%, low for an inner-SW community and reflecting the owner-occupied detached character across the interior blocks. For a similar all-detached SW community with a comparable long-tenure owner-occupied mix, the Bel-Aire profile covers the immediate west neighbour across Elbow Drive, and the Kingsland profile covers a same-vintage SW postwar peer with a related demographic profile.

Living in Meadowlark Park
Housing is entirely single-family detached homes on standard SW postwar lots — no condos or apartments inside the community, one of the most owner-occupied detached profiles in inner-SW Calgary. Renter share runs around 14%, low for an inner-SW community. Interior streets follow a modified grid with mature landscaping across most blocks given the community’s 1955 origin. Elbow Drive on the west edge separates Meadowlark Park from Bel-Aire — a same-batch SW neighbour with a similar all-detached profile; Glenmore Trail on the north edge separates the community from Kingsland and the wider inner-SW corridor beyond; and the Chinook Centre retail corridor sits directly east across the community’s eastern edge, in the wider Manchester district. There is no CTrain station inside Meadowlark Park; the Chinook Red Line station sits east across the Chinook Centre area in Manchester — a short walk or drive from most interior blocks. For a similar all-detached SW community immediately west across Elbow Drive, the Bel-Aire profile is the closest neighbour reference; for a same-vintage SW postwar peer at a comparable scale, the Kingsland profile is the closer reference on demographic curve.
Things to do in Meadowlark Park
The Chinook Centre retail corridor directly east of the community is one of Calgary’s largest regional shopping malls with grocery, restaurants, big-box retail, and daily-services amenities a short walk from most eastern blocks — one of the fullest-amenity retail edges of any small SW community. Elbow Drive along the community’s west edge carries additional daily-services retail along the wider inner-SW commercial corridor. For a community of this footprint the residential character is quiet and low-density — most day-to-day activity is either across Chinook Centre or along Elbow Drive rather than on the interior blocks. The Chinook Red Line CTrain station east of the Chinook Centre area opens direct downtown LRT access a short drive or walk from most interior blocks. Any specific business inside Meadowlark Park is easiest to find through the Meadowlark Park business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Meadowlark Park real-estate read
Meadowlark Park’s average assessed value sits at $866K, compared with the citywide $731K and reflecting the community’s all-detached postwar housing on standard SW lots. Values rose 13.3% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, tracking the broader Calgary pace during the current cycle. Building activity is modest given the community’s small footprint: 118 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and infill on original postwar detached blocks. The community’s average build year sits around 1960, consistent with the 1955 establishment and the postwar build-out through the 1960s. On safety, the community’s small resident base combined with direct adjacency to the Chinook Centre commercial corridor drives per-1,000 disorder counts higher than nearby detached SW hoods — disorder runs at 667.2 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000, a rate strongly influenced by the community’s small denominator and the Chinook-adjacent retail footprint. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate fell compared with the year before. For a same-vintage SW community with a comparable all-detached profile, the Bel-Aire profile is the closest reference on price band; for a same-vintage SW postwar peer at a comparable scale, the Kingsland profile is the closer reference on demographic curve.
FAQ
Common Questions About Meadowlark 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.
