By the numbers
Forest Heights 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 Forest Heights
Fun facts: many street names here start with “Fo-” — Forego, Foritana, Fortalice and Fonda. Forest Lawn began as a village in 1935, when two settlements merged, and Calgary annexed the town in 1961. The nature playground at Forest Lawn Library was the library system’s first outdoor early-learning space, built largely from recycled materials. And Memorial Drive, the community’s north boundary, began as a First World War memorial, lined with trees dedicated in 1922.
Forest Heights sits in east Calgary, from Memorial Drive south to 8 Avenue SE, and from 36 Street SE east to 52 Street SE. The former Town of Forest Lawn laid it out in 1959, and most homes went up in the 1960s and 70s — a mix of houses, townhomes, semi-detached homes and duplexes.
The Forest Heights-Hubalta Community Association runs the centre at 4909 Forego Avenue SE, with a hall, stage and kitchen, plus a rink and playfields. Keeler School (K–6) is next door. International Avenue and the MAX Purple stations on 17 Avenue SE are about 1 km south.
Things to do: skating, hockey and the fields at the community centre; Forest Lawn Library on 8 Avenue SE, with its nature playground; Bob Bahan Aquatic & Fitness Centre just south, with a pool and dive tank; food and shopping on International Avenue; and the public art along International Avenue.
Nearest farmers’ market: Bridgeland-Riverside Farmers’ Market, 917 Centre Avenue NE — Thursdays, 3:30–7:30 pm, mid-June to early October — about 5 km away. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 5 km away.

Questions
Forest Heights — common questions
Which schools are inside Forest Heights?
1 school sits inside the community boundary: Keeler School. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being the designated school for a given address.
Which schools serve Forest Heights?
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 Forest Heights and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in Forest Heights?
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 Forest Heights — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
