By the numbers
Mayfair 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 Mayfair
Fun facts: the walkway here has two giant public chalkboards — a “Participatory Art Wall” where neighbours write their hopes and dreams. And every home in Mayfair is a single-detached house.
Mayfair is one of Calgary’s smallest communities, on the bluff above the Glenmore Reservoir in the southwest, between Bel-Aire and Glenmore Trail and from Elbow Drive west to the reservoir. It was annexed in 1956 and built from about 1957 on former farmland, with most homes dating from before 1960.
Mayfair shares the Mayfair Bel-Aire Community Association with Bel-Aire, which runs playgrounds, an outdoor rink, fitness equipment and private tennis courts. Students attend Chinook Park School, Woodman School and Henry Wise Wood High, and Route 3 runs along Elbow Drive.
Things to do: the Recreation Lane walkway, with outdoor fitness equipment and two playgrounds; the 16 km Glenmore Reservoir pathway loop; the pathway across the Glenmore Dam; the Gasoline Alley Museum at Heritage Park, open year-round; and Sandy Beach and the River Park off-leash area, a short trip north.
Nearest farmers’ market: Haysboro Outdoor Market, 1204 89 Avenue SW — select Wednesdays, 3–6 pm, May to October — about 2 km away. Year-round, the closest is Calgary Farmers’ Market South (510 77 Avenue SE), about 3 km away.

A very small community
Mayfair is a small, established community of a few hundred homes between Elbow Drive and the Britannia slopes. The low count is not an error — it is a compact luxury pocket where listings are infrequent.
