West Springs
West Springs Calgary is an affluent SW community built out from 2001 through the 2010s, bounded by 69 Street SW on the east, Bow Trail on the south, and Old Banff Coach Road (Alberta Highway 563) on the north — with Canada Olympic Park directly across that road and Springbank acreages beyond the western city limit. The community’s average assessed value sits at $786K, slightly above the citywide $732K, with values up 13.1% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% — tracking the broader Calgary market. What sets West Springs apart on the map is the combination of a community built mostly since 2001 filled almost entirely with owner-occupied detached homes, an average household income well above the Calgary median, and Canada Olympic Park literally across the street. West Springs is part of Calgary’s 219 community profiles.

Who Lives in West Springs
West Springs holds 11,560 residents across 5,627 properties, and the age split is one of the most family-heavy in Calgary. Kids and teens under 19 come in at roughly 3,960 — over a third of the community — and the 40-to-64 band is the biggest single group at 4,510 residents, largely the parents raising those kids. The 20-to-39 band is more modest at 2,210, and residents 65 or older sit near 860 people, about 7% of the community — a low senior share that reflects the community's recent build era. The community's average household income sits around $158K — well above the citywide median — and rentals are under 6% of the housing. That combination reads on the ground as one of Calgary's more family-oriented SW suburbs: young school-age kids on nearly every block, minimal transient population, and streetscapes shaped by school-run and weekend-mountain rhythms. For a similar family-heavy newer SW community immediately east, the Aspen Woods profile is the closest reference.

Living in West Springs
West Springs reads as new-build affluent SW Calgary at street level. Most of the housing is post-2001 detached houses on generous SW-suburb lot sizes, with a smaller share of executive attached homes on the eastern edge. Canada Olympic Park sits directly north across Old Banff Coach Road, and its jump towers, ski runs, bobsled track, and Olympic training facilities are visible from many blocks — a unique visual anchor no other Calgary community shares. There’s no LRT inside West Springs; residents drive Bow Trail to Sarcee Trail and the Red Line’s 69 Street terminus for their downtown commute, or take Old Banff Coach Road east toward Sarcee for the northern route in. The community’s ridge position on the western edge of the city gives sight lines back east toward downtown Calgary on clear days, and the drive out to the mountains along the Trans-Canada Highway is a matter of minutes rather than half an hour. Rental share is well under 10% — West Springs is overwhelmingly owner-occupied detached, and the visual character of the streets reflects that. For a similar new-build affluent SW community immediately north, the Cougar Ridge profile is the closest reference.
Things to do in West Springs
Canada Olympic Park is West Springs’s showcase amenity, sitting directly across Old Banff Coach Road on the community’s north side. Skiing and snowboarding in winter, biking and hiking in summer, plus the ski jumps, bobsled track, and Olympic Hall of Fame — it’s a full-year destination and one of the still-active daily-use venues from the 1988 Winter Olympics. Day-to-day retail runs along the community’s eastern-edge 85 Street SW corridor and along the Bow Trail / Sarcee Trail commercial strip a few minutes east. Schools inside the community are West Springs Elementary (CBE, K-4) and West Ridge School (CBE, Grades 5-9), both purpose-built with the community’s growth, plus a broader Catholic and CBE catchment for older grades in adjacent Aspen Woods and Cougar Ridge. The community’s proximity to Highway 1 puts weekend trips into Banff and Canmore within an hour — a real factor in West Springs’s identity as a Calgary community that skews toward outdoor-recreation buyers. Winter weekends see West Springs streets fill with parents driving kids to hockey and ski programs across the road at Canada Olympic Park, and summer weekends funnel mountain-bike traffic to the trail network on the north side of the same road. Any specific business inside West Springs itself is easiest to find through the West Springs business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records for the community.
The West Springs real-estate read
West Springs’s average assessed value sits at $786K, slightly above the citywide $732K — a real premium driven by the community’s newer build homes, its very low rental share, and its Canada Olympic Park adjacency. Values rose 13.1% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2%, meaning West Springs is tracking rather than outperforming the broader Calgary market — the value stability reflects a community that buyers already know about and where recent gains have been priced in over the last decade rather than one still finding its ceiling. Building activity is meaningful: 325 permits filed since 2024, dominated by new-construction on the western edge as the Wentworth extension continues to build out west of 85 Street. On safety, disorder runs at 16.4 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000, one of the quietest communities in Calgary. For a similar-value SW community for reference, the Oakridge profile is the closest match at a comparable price point; for an older established SW community for contrast at a similar price band, the Altadore profile shows what an inner-SW community looks like at the same value point.
Common Questions About West Springs
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.
