Monterey Park
Monterey Park Calgary is a NE community established in 1985 on land annexed into Calgary in 1979, bounded by McKnight Boulevard to the north, 68 Street E to the west, the Trans-Canada Highway to the south, and 84 Street E on the city’s east limits. Average assessed values sit at $553K, and they’ve climbed 14% year-over-year — a direct match to the citywide 15.2% pace during the current cycle. What sets the community apart on the map is its position at the far-east edge of Calgary against the Trans-Canada corridor, with a long-standing multicultural texture that has defined the neighbourhood since its 1980s build-out. Monterey Park is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Monterey Park
The community holds 10,475 residents across 2,921 properties — a population count that puts it among the larger NE communities in Calgary. The age split shows a family-heavy community with a strong 40-to-64 presence and a substantial under-19 block, consistent with a neighbourhood whose original 1980s build-out has taken in a second wave of family buyers as the first buyers' children have grown up. The community's demographic texture has long included a notable immigrant share — the community has been a landing spot for families across a broad mix of countries of origin since the 1990s, and the resulting cultural fabric is part of what has kept the neighbourhood's rental share so low: the majority of homes here are owner-occupied by long-time family households. For similar NE communities with a comparable multicultural texture and family-heavy composition, the Martindale and Saddle Ridge profiles are the closest cross-community references.

Living in Monterey Park
Housing is nearly all single-family detached homes on standard NE lots, and the community’s average build year sits around 1995 — consistent with a build-out that ran from the mid-1980s through the early-to-mid 1990s. Interior streets follow the classic 1980s NE grid — curving crescents and cul-de-sacs stepping in from the arterials, with the residential fabric sitting inside the McKnight–TCH box formed by the four boundary streets. McKnight Boulevard on the north carries east-west traffic to Deerfoot Trail and the airport corridor. The Trans-Canada Highway on the south is the connection east toward Chestermere and west into the wider city. There is no CTrain station inside; the Whitehorn Blue Line terminus a drive southwest inside Whitehorn provides the nearest LRT connection into downtown, and feeder buses run into the wider NE transit network. Monterey Park Elementary anchors the school picture inside the community; the wider NE public and Catholic networks route to junior-high and high-school options in Falconridge, Whitehorn, and the McKnight corridor. For a similar 1980s NE community immediately west across 68 Street E at a comparable price band, the Pineridge profile is the closest reference on scale and demographic curve.
Things to do in Monterey Park
The community’s clearest single amenity for younger families is the elementary school (Monterey Park Elementary, K-6), which sits inside the community and gives families with school-age kids a walkable public school inside the residential grid rather than a bus ride to a neighbouring community. Day-to-day retail is a short drive rather than inside the community — the Sunridge / Rundle retail cluster southwest across the TCH corridor carries big-box grocery, warehouse-club, and daily services, and the McKnight-Westwinds LRT station area southwest in Whitehorn provides a wider commercial hub built around the station’s park-and-ride. Elliston Park a short drive south beside the Trans-Canada opens a large city park with a lake, viewing hill, and the annual GlobalFest fireworks-festival grounds — one of the further-east open-space anchors in Calgary — and gives residents a large-park destination that most inner-NE communities can’t match. The lake community immediately north across McKnight Boulevard, covered on the Coral Springs profile, is another close destination for pathway walking around the Coral Springs lake feature. School catchments route to the wider NE public and Catholic networks; 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 the community is easiest to find through the Monterey Park business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Monterey Park real-estate read
The community’s average assessed value sits at $553K, below the citywide $732K and reflecting the community’s 1980s-1990s detached homes, standard NE lot sizes, and the position on the far-east edge of the city grid. Values rose 14% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, a direct match to the broader Calgary pace during the current cycle. Building activity is moderate: 106 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and secondary-suite additions on the built-out lots. The community’s average build year sits around 1995, consistent with the 1985 establishment and the build-out that carried through the early-to-mid 1990s. The property values panel above shows how prices break across the community. On safety, disorder runs at 23.9 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000 and one of the quieter figures on the NE side. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For a similar-value NE community west across 68 Street E, the Rundle profile is the closest reference on price band; for a same-price-band NE community further north with the same 1980s-1990s vintage, the Saddle Ridge profile is the closer reference on demographic curve.
Common Questions About Monterey 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 Monterey Park?
The average assessed value in Monterey Park is $553K based on the City of Calgary's 2025 property assessments, below the citywide average of $732K. Most of the housing is 1980s and 1990s single-family detached homes on standard NE lots inside the McKnight–Trans-Canada corridor box.
How is the Monterey Park real estate market?
Monterey Park values rose 14% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% gain, a direct match to the broader Calgary pace. 106 permits have been filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and secondary-suite additions on the built-out lots rather than new-construction activity.
Is Monterey Park safe?
Monterey Park records 23.9 disorder events per 1,000 residents in the City's latest year, well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000 — one of the quieter figures on the NE side. Year-over-year the community's disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before.
Is Monterey Park a good place to live?
Monterey Park suits buyers who want a NE address with a walkable elementary school inside the community, quick Trans-Canada Highway access east or west, and a family-heavy multicultural neighbourhood texture. The trade-off is that day-to-day retail sits southwest across the TCH in the Sunridge / Rundle cluster rather than inside the community itself.
What is Monterey Park known for?
Monterey Park is best known for its position on Calgary's far-east NE edge against the city limits along 84 Street E, its 1980s single-family detached housing, and its long-standing multicultural texture — one of the higher immigrant-family shares in the NE. The community was established in 1985 on land annexed in 1979.
