By the numbers
Queensland 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 Queensland
Fun facts: The community was first called "Queensland Downs," later shortened to Queensland. Every street is named after a queen, such as Queen Anne, Queen Charlotte, Queen Alexandra and Queen Isabella. The land joined Calgary in 1961, but nothing was built until 1973. The whole riverside escarpment is public open space, so everyone can reach the river. Three off-leash areas curve around the community, and one runs along a tall cliff above Fish Creek Park, with a bench for the view. Keeping with the royal theme, a quilting group called the "Queen Bee Quilters" meets weekly at the community centre.
Queensland is in SE Calgary, east of Bow Bottom Trail and north of Fish Creek Provincial Park, with the Bow River along its eastern edge. Most homes were built in the 1970s.
The Queensland Diamond Cove Community Association runs a hall with a gym and stage, an outdoor rink, tennis courts and a seniors' friendship club, and members get discounts at the Trico Centre. A small shopping strip on Queensland Drive has a pharmacy and medical clinic, and Deer Valley Market Place is nearby. Route 29 runs to Anderson CTrain station.
Things to do: Bike or walk the Bow River pathway through Fish Creek Park. Picnic by the river in Diamond Cove. Skate on the community rink in winter. Play tennis on the community courts. Catch live music at Cornerstone Music Cafe in nearby Deer Ridge.
Nearest farmers’ market: Fresh & Local Market, Avenida Village, 12445 Lake Fraser Drive SE — Thursday to Sunday, year-round, indoors — about 3 km away.

Which schools are inside Queensland?
2 schools sit inside the community boundary: Haultain Memorial School, Wilma Hansen School. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being the designated school for a given address.
Which schools serve Queensland?
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 Queensland and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in Queensland?
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 Queensland — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
