By the numbers
Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill 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 Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill
Fun facts: this land was part of the Riley family homestead — Georgina Riley’s maiden name was Hounsfield — and the Rileys’ home, Hounsfield Lodge, stood where Bethany Care Centre is now. The Walter Hargrave house (1913) is one of the oldest in the community, built with early poured concrete. And the library is named for Louise Riley, the library’s children’s librarian, who hosted a radio storytelling show and wrote award-winning children’s books; the branch took her name in 1959.
Hounsfield Heights-Briar Hill sits on the escarpment in northwest Calgary above Kensington, with views of downtown and the mountains. It runs from about 8 Avenue NW north to 16 Avenue NW, and from 14 Street NW west to Crowchild Trail. The land was first subdivided in the early 1900s, but most homes went up from the 1950s on — more than half single-family houses, with low- and mid-rise condos.
The Hounsfield Heights–Briar Hill Community Association has a hall with a gym, a community room and an outdoor rink, and runs playschool and fitness programs. Briar Hill School (K–6) is in the community, Lions Park CTrain station is on 14 Avenue NW, and SAIT and the Jubilee Auditorium are next door.
Things to do: Louise Riley Library, open every day; escarpment parks and green space with city views, including Green Park; the gym and programs at the community association; North Hill Centre and the Lions Park shops; and SAIT’s Heritage Hall, a National Historic Site next door.
Farmers’ market: Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market, 1320 5 Avenue NW — Wednesdays, 3–7 pm, year-round (outdoors late May to early October, then indoors).
