Nolan Hill
Nolan Hill Calgary is a 2010s-era master-planned community at Calgary’s far NW edge, bordered on the north by 144 Avenue NW, on the west by Sarcee Trail, on the south by Symons Valley Parkway NW, and on the east by Shaganappi Trail. Two of the community’s four boundaries (north and west) sit against Rocky View County land, which places the community literally at the city limit rather than inside the mature inner ring. Average assessed value sits at $778K, up 10.9% year-over-year — running below the citywide average change of 15.2%, a pattern consistent with a recently built-out community where much of the housing is already priced at the top of its size band and where a rising city average has come from older communities repricing more sharply. Since 2024 the community has absorbed 46 new-construction permits and a further 43 suite permits, a live infill-and-secondary-suite stream on housing whose average year built already sits at 2015. The full comparative picture is inside Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Nolan Hill
The census-2021 population is 8,755 across the 2,566 residential properties, giving a household size well above the citywide average and reflecting the community's dominant first-generation family cohort. The age composition is one of the youngest in the batch: 34% aged 20 to 39, 34% aged 0 to 19, 29% aged 40 to 64, and only 4% aged 65 and over. Two-thirds of residents fall under age 40, and the under-19 share alone matches the 20-to-39 working-parent share almost one-for-one — a household composition consistent with recently built four-bedroom detached homes and the ongoing move-in cycle. The 65-plus share is very small because the community has not been built long enough to have generated an in-place retirement cohort, and because the housing and pricing are calibrated for family-formation buyers rather than downsizers. For a comparably young family-formation NW master-planned age curve, the Royal Oak profile is the closest reference; for the newer post-2010 SE equivalent, the Legacy profile shows the same young cohort curve on the opposite side of the city.

Living in Nolan Hill
The community reads as a young NW-edge master-planned suburb still in its first-generation family-formation cycle. The dominant built form is post-2010 two-storey detached on standard suburban lots, with a share of attached townhouses and duplexes along the internal collectors. Because the average year built across the 2,566 residential properties is 2015, streetscapes and landscaping still carry the developer-fresh character of the late build-out phases rather than the grown-in second-generation look of the older 1990s NW communities further south. Sarcee Trail on the west and Shaganappi Trail on the east are both fast through-arterials rather than walking streets; the community’s interior road network is a curvilinear collector pattern that keeps daily local traffic well inside the boundary. There is no LRT station inside the community; residents typically drive to the nearest NW Red Line stations further south, and daily commuting into the inner city runs down the Shaganappi Trail corridor or south into the Stoney Trail ring. Sherwood picks up the community’s southern boundary along Symons Valley Parkway, and Sage Hill sits immediately east across Shaganappi Trail. To the north and west the community meets Rocky View County agricultural and low-density land, giving the northern and western blocks a genuine edge-of-city outlook that most Calgary communities do not carry. The Ward 2 designation places Nolan Hill inside the same council catchment as several other far-NW communities, and the fact that half of the community’s boundary faces open Rocky View land rather than another Calgary community means the density profile falls off sharply once the boundary line is crossed. The community’s average lot size runs slightly above the citywide detached average, and the two-storey homes reflects the 2010s master-planned template of larger interior square-footage on a slightly smaller lot footprint than the older postwar and 1970s NW communities.
Things to do in Nolan Hill
Day-to-day amenity access here works through the surrounding NW retail catchments rather than a village-scale main street inside the community, in the standard 2010s master-planned pattern. The neighbouring Sage Hill community picks up the closest large-format retail catchment across Shaganappi Trail on the community’s eastern edge; further south, the older NW retail nodes along Sarcee Trail handle the additional grocery, big-box, and restaurant catchment. Families draw on the NW public and Catholic school catchments across the surrounding communities; the community’s own school-age population is large enough that internal walkability to school-adjacent parks is a meaningful daily amenity even where the specific school anchor sits in an adjacent community. Local green space runs along the internal collector pattern and follows the developer-standard neighbourhood-park distribution of the 2010s master-planned template. For a similar recently built-out NW master-planned reference at a comparable price band, the Royal Oak profile is the closest reference read. For an SE developer-lake variant of the same 2010s master-planned pattern, the Mahogany profile shows the comparable build-out cycle on the far side of the city.
The Nolan Hill real-estate read
An average assessed value of $778K places Nolan Hill Calgary near the top of the NW-edge master-planned band and above most of the older 1980s-and-1990s NW communities. The +10.9% year-over-year change runs below the citywide average of +15.2% — a pattern consistent with a recently built-out community where much of the housing was already assessed near the top of its size and vintage band before the city-wide 2025 run-up, and where a rising city average has come from older communities repricing more sharply against a lower base. Building Activity is heavy relative to the community’s size but focused on infill and secondary suites rather than large redevelopment: 225 new-construction permits since 2024, 0 demolitions, and 43 suite permits. The 43 suite permits are a genuinely large share for a community with 2,551 properties, and they read as an active secondary-suite trend on the newer two-storey homes. The Property Values section above breaks the current distribution across those 2,551 properties, and the historical curve (from $629K in 2023 to $700K in 2024 to $777K in 2025) shows the slower and steadier acceleration that put the community into its current +10.9% band. For an NW master-planned comparison at a similar build-vintage and price band, the Royal Oak profile is the closest read; the immediately adjacent Sherwood profile picks up the same NW-edge submarket at the southern boundary. For the SE equivalent of the same post-2010 master-planned cycle, the Legacy and Mahogany profiles round out the comparison set. The historical count column shows the property total plateauing around 2,566 as the final build-out phases wrapped — a signal that Nolan Hill’s growth going forward will come from unit-level infill, secondary suites, and lot-level redevelopment rather than any further greenfield expansion, since the boundary with Rocky View County has already fixed the community’s outer geometry.
Common Questions About Nolan Hill
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.

The Safety section above shows current Calgary Police Service disorder counts and how Nolan Hill compares with the Calgary baseline. The most recent year shows 11.9 disorder events per 1,000 residents, well below the citywide baseline of about 50 per 1,000, consistent with a young family-formation community at the far NW city edge.
What is Nolan Hill known for?
Nolan Hill is best known as one of Calgary's newer far-NW master-planned communities, built out through the late 2000s and 2010s at the Sarcee Trail and Shaganappi Trail edge. Two of the community's four boundaries sit against Rocky View County land, placing the community literally at the Calgary city limit.
