By the numbers
Evanston 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 Evanston
Fun facts: Evanston is named for the Evans family, early owners of the land — and local streets carry it on, from Evansglen and Evansdale to Evansfield. The West Nose Creek valley that runs through the community is a wildlife corridor for deer, moose and coyotes. It’s a branch of Nose Creek — and after Calgary’s Great Fire of 1886, much of the sandstone used to rebuild the city came from quarries along Nose Creek.
Evanston sits in north Calgary, between Stoney Trail and 144 Avenue NW, in the Symons Valley area. It was built mainly from the mid-2000s onward. Most homes are single-family houses, with some townhomes and semi-detached homes. The West Nose Creek valley winds through it, with pathways along a protected natural area.
The Evanston-Creekside Community Association runs Evanston Community Park, with a rink, community garden and bookable fire pit, and also runs soccer. Schools include Kenneth D. Taylor School, the new Evanston Heights School, and St. Josephine Bakhita (Catholic). Shops are at Evanston Towne Centre, and Route 124 serves the community.
Things to do: Evanston Community Park, with a natural rink, toboggan hill, nature play and fire pit; the West Nose Creek valley pathways; the pond trail at Evansdale Common; the Greenway, reached right from the community park; and shops and restaurants at Evanston Towne Centre.
Nearest farmers’ market: Dalhousie Farmers’ Market, 5432 Dalhart Road NW — Thursdays, 3:30–7:30 pm, outdoors June to early October; indoors in spring — about 7 km away. Year-round, the closest is Calgary Farmers’ Market West (25 Greenbriar Drive NW), about 12 km away.

Community-level prices move month to month, so a number published on a website is out of date almost immediately.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 Evanston — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
