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 Garrison Woods

Fun facts: the street names — Somme, Passchendaele, Vimy, Ypres and more — are First World War battle honours of Lord Strathcona’s Horse and the PPCLI, the regiments based here. Many of the old military houses were moved and refurbished rather than torn down, and about 400 mature trees were kept when the community was rebuilt.

Garrison Woods sits in inner southwest Calgary beside Marda Loop, from 34 Avenue to 47 Avenue SW, between 20 Street SW and Crowchild Trail. It was built on the former Currie Barracks military housing and redeveloped from about 1998 to 2004. Homes are a mix of single-family and semi-detached houses, townhomes and low-rise condos.

The Marda Loop Communities Association serves Garrison Woods, with its hall at 3130 16 Street SW. Greens, walkways and memorials run through the community. Shops are at Garrison Gate and along 33 Avenue in Marda Loop, and Route 7 runs downtown.

Things to do: public skating at Flames Community Arenas; curling at the Garrison Curling Club; a self-guided walk past the community’s 14 battle-honour monuments; shops and cafés along 33 Avenue in Marda Loop; and The Military Museums, a short trip west.

Farmers’ market: Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue SW — Saturdays, 10 am–2 pm, late May to mid-October. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 5 km away.

What are homes selling for in Garrison Woods?

Community-level prices move month to month, so a number published on a website is out of date almost immediately.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