Sherwood is a NW Calgary community near the north edge of the city, part of the wider Symons Valley area. Property values here climbed 11.5% over the past year, just below the citywide average of 15.2%. The community is bounded by Sarcee Trail on the west, 128 Avenue NW and Symons Valley Parkway across from Nolan Hill on the north, Shaganappi Trail across from Kincora on the east, and Stoney Trail across from the Hamptons on the south. Sherwood is one of five communities that make up the Symons Valley area, and the Sherwood Community Association was formed in 2008 to serve residents. Homes here are mostly single-family detached on standard suburban lots, with townhomes on the busier streets and a smaller share of walk-up units near the arterials. The disorder rate sits at 17.6 events per 1,000 residents, well below the citywide baseline of 53.5. Sherwood sits inside the master-planned megasuburb group in Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in Sherwood
Sherwood is mostly families and mid-career households drawn to the newer NW suburb pattern. The community's original owners bought in during the mid-to-late 2000s and 2010s, so many are still in their child-raising years — you see school-age kids on the streets and family activity around the neighbourhood parks. The 65-plus share is small because the community hasn't been around long enough for a large retirement layer to form. Density is standard for a post-2000s NW suburb, and the mix of detached homes and townhomes brings some variety to the housing. The annual Multicultural Festival hosted by the community association reflects the diverse mix of residents drawn from across the Symons Valley area — Sherwood tends to attract households from a wider range of backgrounds than some of the older NW communities further south. Compared to Nolan Hill just north, Sherwood has a similar age and pattern but sits closer to Stoney Trail on the south edge, which shortens the commute for households working downtown or in the SW. For NW-quadrant peers further east, Panorama Hills is the larger community at a similar era with more retail and school inventory built in.

Living in Sherwood
Sherwood is a relatively new NW community in the Symons Valley area, and it still has that newer-suburb feel — homes look recently built, landscaping is coming in, and the community is settling into its shape. The Sherwood Community Association was formed in 2008, which gives a rough sense of when the community started coming together as a residential area. Homes here are mostly single-family detached on standard suburban lots, with townhomes on the collector streets and some walk-up units along the arterials. The four boundaries are all major roads — Sarcee Trail on the west, 128 Avenue NW and Symons Valley Parkway on the north, Shaganappi Trail on the east, and Stoney Trail on the south — so the community sits inside a defined pocket with clear edges. That layout keeps through-traffic minimal on the interior streets. There’s no LRT station in Sherwood; commutes downtown usually mean driving Shaganappi Trail south to the core, and BRT service along the arterials handles the transit alternative. Neighbouring communities include Nolan Hill just north across Symons Valley Parkway, Kincora across Shaganappi Trail to the east, and the Hamptons across Stoney Trail to the south.
Things to do in Sherwood
Day-to-day retail lives along the surrounding arterials. Symons Valley Parkway, Shaganappi Trail, and Sarcee Trail all carry commercial nodes with grocery stores, coffee shops, and daily-service retail within a short drive. The community itself is more residential — quiet streets, backyards, and neighbourhood parks rather than a walkable retail cluster. The Sherwood Community Association runs local programming, including an annual Multicultural Festival that draws residents from across the Symons Valley area, and a community garden initiative that launched in 2017. For schools, Blessed Marie-Rose through the Catholic board opened in September 2018 and serves the elementary catchment inside the community; kids attending public schools typically head to catchments in Nolan Hill, Kincora, or the surrounding NW communities. Households comparing Sherwood often look at Nolan Hill just north across Symons Valley Parkway as the closest peer, or Panorama Hills further east as the larger far-north NW community at a similar era.
The Sherwood real-estate read
The average assessed value in Sherwood is $729K, running slightly below the citywide average of $732K. That price sits in the moderate-to-upper band for a NW-edge community and reflects a mostly detached housing with some townhome inventory pulling the number down slightly. The 11.5% year-over-year change ran just below the citywide 15.2%, a modest swing that suggests the community’s assessments moved in step with rather than ahead of the broader trend. Building activity is modest — Sherwood has largely moved past its heaviest construction phase and is now in the settling-in period where most sales are existing homes turning over rather than new builds. The Property Values section on this page shows how the assessments break down across the community. On safety, the 21.8 disorder events per 1,000 residents runs well under the 53.5 citywide baseline. Buyers comparing Sherwood usually look at Nolan Hill across Symons Valley Parkway as the closest peer, or Panorama Hills as the larger far-north NW option with more built-in amenities. The one thing to understand up front is that this is still a newer community — the school and retail map may look different a year or two from now as the Symons Valley area continues to fill in. Buyers who want a settled community with mature landscaping and full amenities in place might find Sherwood a bit early on that curve, while buyers who want a newer home in a still-developing area will find plenty to like here. The trade-off is real for buyers here: newer inventory and a shorter Stoney Trail commute against a still-growing school and retail catchment that hasn’t finished filling in yet.
Common Questions About Sherwood
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.
