By the numbers
New Brighton 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 New Brighton
Fun facts: The community association says New Brighton has the only registered Purple Martin colony in the Calgary area, at the storm pond, run by a resident with City Parks. Purple Martins are a kind of swallow, and each one eats about 2,000 insects a day; Global News reported the species hadn't been spotted in Calgary for more than a century before the colony. The community association runs a free Tool Shed where residents can borrow tools, from lawnmowers to project gear. The orange "VS." sculpture at the Athletic Park entrance weighs about 3,700 lb and is a popular spot for pre-game photos. The community was designed around a 20-acre central park and a 12-acre pond. The residents association's Stampede Breakfast has run for more than 20 years, with pancakes, carnival games and a petting zoo.
New Brighton is in far SE Calgary, east of 52 Street SE and south of 130 Avenue, next to McKenzie Towne. Building began in 2002, and the Federation of Calgary Communities describes its style as "Traditional English architecture with a distinctly modern flair."
The residents association runs a clubhouse with a splash park, an outdoor rink, tennis courts and programs like yoga, pickleball and summer camps. New Brighton Athletic Park has four sports fields, a ball diamond and a skatepark. Routes 151 and 152 serve the community, and the Green Line's planned Shepard station will be nearby.
Things to do: Walk the paved loop around the Central Park pond. Skate the bowl at the Athletic Park skatepark. Cool off at the clubhouse splash park in summer. Play tennis or pickleball at the clubhouse. Walk the wetlands at Ralph Klein Park. Eat at South Trail Crossing.

Which schools are inside New Brighton?
3 schools sit inside the community boundary: Dr. Martha Cohen School, St. Marguerite School, New Brighton School. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being the designated school for a given address.
Which schools serve New Brighton?
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 New Brighton and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in New Brighton?
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 New Brighton — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
