By the numbers
Manchester 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 Manchester
Fun fact: Manchester was founded in 1914 as walk-to-work housing beside Calgary’s oldest industrial area.
Manchester is a small inner-city community in south-central Calgary, from 42 Avenue S to 58 Avenue S between Macleod Trail and the CP rail line, with Manchester Industrial all around it. Today most homes are in apartment buildings built since 2000, with a few old workers’ cottages still standing on 1 Street SW.
The 39 Avenue CTrain station is at the community’s north edge, with Chinook station just south. Elboya School and Henry Wise Wood High School serve the area, and there’s a small park and playground on 1A Street SW, along with a community mural.
Things to do: the park, playground and community mural on 1A Street SW; Stanley Park just west, with tennis, a toboggan hill and lawn bowling; the Elbow River pathway via Stanley Park; and Annex Ale Project, a craft brewery taproom in Manchester Industrial.
Nearest farmers’ market: Calgary Farmers’ Market South, 510 77 Avenue SE — Thursday to Sunday, 9 am–5 pm, year-round, indoors — about 3 km away.

Questions
Manchester — common questions
Which schools serve Manchester?
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 Manchester and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in Manchester?
Community-level prices move month to month, so a number published on a website is out of date almost immediately.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 Manchester — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.

A school inside the community is not automatically the designated one. Send me the address and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
