By the numbers
Highwood 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.

About Highwood
Fun facts: many street names here start with “H” — Harlow, Holmwood, Hendon and Hounslow among them. And Nose Hill Park, just across John Laurie Boulevard, has more than 300 km of informal trails.
Highwood sits in north-central Calgary, from 40 Avenue NW north to McKnight Boulevard, and from 4 Street NW west to John Laurie Boulevard, with Nose Hill Park just across the road. It was established in 1954, and more than half its homes were built before 1960 — mostly single-family houses, with many duplexes and a few semi-detached homes and low-rise condos.
The Highwood Community Association at 16 Harlow Avenue NW has a hall with a gym and stage, an outdoor rink, a lit hockey rink, sports fields and its own outdoor pool. Highwood School offers Mandarin bilingual classes, Colonel Irvine School carries them through grade 9, and James Fowler High School is just across 4 Street.
Things to do: Highwood Outdoor Pool in summer, with a lap pool, spray deck and picnic area; winter skating and hockey at the community rinks; the sports fields and playground at the community association; Nose Hill Park, across John Laurie Boulevard; and Confederation Park nearby.
Farmers’ market: Cambrian Heights Farmers’ Market, 600 Northmount Drive NW — Tuesdays, 3–7 pm, late May to early October. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 4 km away.

Which schools are inside Highwood?
3 schools sit inside the community boundary: Colonel Irvine School, Northwest Elementary Campus, Highwood School. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being the designated school for a given address.
Which schools serve Highwood?
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 Highwood and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in Highwood?
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 Highwood — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
