By the numbers
Cranston at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.
The community
About Cranston
Fun facts: Cranston is named after the family who first homesteaded the land, and a Cranston school is named for a teacher who taught three Cranston-family daughters in a one-room schoolhouse and then married Lloyd Cranston in 1940. Residents can borrow kayaks and paddleboards for free from the Century Hall tool library. Century Hall has its own Zamboni, and its outdoor hockey rink turns into a skatepark in summer. Kids can drop letters to Santa in a "North Pole Express" mailbox at Century Hall and get replies back. The residents association runs a summer event called "Cranchella." The escarpment viewpoint looks out over the Bow River valley to the Rockies. Cranston has about 400 acres of green space, and the Riverstone area runs from the Bow River up to the escarpment.
Cranston is in far SE Calgary, between Stoney Trail, Deerfoot Trail and the Bow River valley, with Fish Creek Park along its edge. Development began on farmland in 1999.
The residents association runs Century Hall, with a gym, banquet hall, splash park, tennis and basketball courts, a skating pond and a sledding hill. Cranston Market has a Sobeys, and Routes 14, 75 and 79 connect to South Health Campus.
Things to do: Hike the Cranston Ridge loop down to the Bow River. Let the kids play at Owl Park in Riverstone. Shop the summer farmers' market at Century Hall. Walk into Fish Creek Provincial Park. Go sledding at Century Hall in winter.

Which schools are inside Cranston?
5 schools sit inside the community boundary: Dr. George Stanley School, Sibylla Kiddle School, Our Lady of the Rosary School, Cranston School, Christ the King Catholic School. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being the designated school for a given address.
Which schools serve Cranston?
A school being the closest one does not make it the designated one — catchments change year to year and can split a single street. Send me the exact address in Cranston and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in Cranston?
Community-level prices move month to month, so a number published on a website is out of date almost immediately. Call 403-464-6672 and I will pull the actual recent sales in Cranston — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
