Queensland
Queensland Calgary is an established SE community built out primarily from 1973 to 1975 (with a small southeast-corner extension into the early 1980s), bounded by Diamond Cove to the north, the Bow River and Fish Creek Provincial Park on the east, Canyon Meadows Drive on the south, and Bow Bottom Trail on the west. The community was originally called Queensland Downs before it was renamed. Most of the housing is 1970s single-family detached, semi-detached, and a small share of townhomes on standard SE lots. The average assessed value sits at $527K, below the citywide $732K, with values up 19.4% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% — well ahead of the broader market. Queensland is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Why two numbers?
Assessment-roll averages in Queensland have climbed 31% over the last 3 years, from $385,672 in the 2023 roll to $505,407 in the 2025 roll. The Average Property Assessment in the snapshot above ($527K) is drawn from the live current-year assessment feed, which uses a broader aggregation than the year-specific rolls in the table — small differences between the two are normal.

Who Lives in Queensland
Queensland holds 4,585 residents across 1,824 properties, and the age split is broadly mature but not extreme. Kids and teens under 19 come in at roughly 955, and the 20-to-39 band is 1,240 — the working-age share you'd expect in a community where owners who bought in the 1970s have been selling to younger buyers over the last decade. The biggest single group is the 40-to-64 band at 1,725 residents, and residents 65 or older sit near 660 people, about 14% of the community. The community's total population is down from 4,771 in the 2012 census — Queensland is drifting slightly smaller as households age and children move out. For a similar established SE community with a comparable age profile, the Applewood Park profile is the closest reference.

Living in Queensland
Queensland reads as established SE Calgary at street level. Most of the housing is 1970s single-family detached on generous SE lots — reflecting the era’s more generous suburban planning before smaller-lot developments took hold. Fish Creek Provincial Park forms the community’s eastern boundary, and the Bow River runs through the park along the same edge — one of the strongest natural-anchor combinations in any Calgary community, since residents have park access from most eastern blocks. There’s no LRT inside Queensland; residents drive Bow Bottom Trail on the west edge or Canyon Meadows Drive on the south edge for arterial access, and the closest CTrain stations are Canyon Meadows and Fish Creek-Lacombe on the Red Line’s south leg a few minutes west. Diamond Cove sits at the community’s northeastern corner as a small enclave inside the same broader neighbourhood setting. Streetscapes reflect the fifty-year timeline: mature trees line most interior blocks, garages face the alleys on many streets in the community’s older phases, and yard sizes stay generous compared with the smaller-lot 1990s and 2000s SE communities further south. For a similar established SE community with a comparable age profile, the Acadia profile is the closest reference across the SE quadrant.
Things to do in Queensland
Queensland’s biggest amenity is Fish Creek Provincial Park along the eastern boundary — one of Calgary’s largest urban parks and a genuine year-round backyard for the community. Pathway access runs through most of the park; residents walk, cycle, cross-country ski, and use the park for pretty much everything you’d expect from a large regional park. The Bow River runs through the park along the same edge, adding river-pathway access, kayaking put-ins nearby, and a genuine river-and-forest natural setting few Calgary communities can match. Day-to-day retail runs a few minutes west at the Canyon Meadows and Fish Creek shopping clusters or south across the community boundary — the community’s own interior is almost entirely residential without retail on the interior streets. Weekend park use hits its peak in July and August; residents typically leave earlier on Saturday mornings to beat the parking crunch at the Bow Valley Ranch parking lot on the community’s eastern edge. Schools inside the community are Haultain Memorial Elementary and Wilma Hansen Junior High, and the wider public and Catholic catchments continue in adjacent SE communities for higher grades. Any specific business inside Queensland itself is easiest to find through the Queensland business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records. For a similar Fish Creek-adjacent SE community across Canyon Meadows Drive, the Sundance profile is the closest match on the community’s park character.
The Queensland real-estate read
Queensland’s average assessed value sits at $527K, below the citywide $732K — a real reflection of the community’s 1970s homes and its position as one of the more affordable Fish Creek-adjacent SE communities. Values rose 19.4% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, well ahead of the citywide gain — an established SE community whose Fish Creek adjacency and larger lot sizes are drawing buyers who recognize the value in mature-treed 1970s SE homes at a below-average price point. Building activity is modest but real: 90 permits filed since 2024, dominated by new-construction infill and secondary-suite work. The disorder direction is one of Calgary’s sharpest single-year improvements in any established community, and lines up with the community’s ongoing turnover from original 1970s owners to younger buyers who typically bring different lifestyle patterns to the same streets. On safety, disorder runs at 30.1 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000 — and the year-over-year direction is held roughly steady compared with the year before, one of the sharper drops among SE Calgary communities. For a similar-value inner-SE community, the Inglewood profile is the closest reference on price; for a newer SE community at a very different age profile for contrast, the Auburn Bay profile shows what a modern lake-based SE community looks like on the market.
Common Questions About Queensland
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 Queensland?
The average assessed value in Queensland Calgary is $527K, below the citywide average of $732K. Most of the housing is 1970s single-family detached on generous SE lots, with a small share of semi-detached and townhomes and light infill activity across the older homes.
How is the Queensland real estate market?
Queensland's assessed values rose 19.4% year-over-year, well ahead of the citywide 15.2% gain — a community whose Fish Creek adjacency is drawing buyers who recognize the value in mature-treed 1970s homes at a below-average price. 90 permits filed since 2024.
Are there schools in Queensland?
Yes. Queensland is served by Haultain Memorial Elementary and Wilma Hansen Junior High inside the community. Older students in higher grades typically continue in schools in adjacent SE communities under the Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School District networks as their catchments transition.
Are there parks in Queensland?
Yes. Fish Creek Provincial Park forms the entire eastern boundary of Queensland, and the Bow River runs through the park along that same edge. Pathway access runs through most of the park; residents walk, cycle, cross-country ski, and use the park year-round from most eastern blocks.
Is Queensland safe?
Queensland records 30.1 disorder events per 1,000 residents, well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000. The year-over-year direction is held roughly steady — one of the sharper year-over-year improvements among SE Calgary communities.
