By the numbers
Ranchlands 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 Ranchlands
Fun facts: Ranchlands Park was set aside in the 1970s “to preserve a sense of ranch land” — and the community is named for the ranch land it was built on. The park keeps “knobs and kettles,” the small hills and hollows left when buried glacier ice melted, along with native rough fescue grassland, trembling aspen and wildflowers like gaillardia and sticky purple geranium.
Ranchlands sits in northwest Calgary, from Crowchild Trail north to John Laurie Boulevard, and from Nose Hill Drive east to Sarcee Trail. The land was annexed in 1961, and most homes went up in the 1970s and 80s — about half single-family houses, with many townhomes, plus semi-detached homes and low-rise condos.
The Ranchlands Community Association at 7713 Ranchview Drive NW has a hall, an outdoor rink, a basketball court and a playground. Ranchlands School (K–6) and St. Rita Elementary sit in Ranchlands Park, and Crowfoot’s shops and CTrain station are just across Nose Hill Drive.
Things to do: the walking trails in Ranchlands Park; soccer fields, tennis courts and ball diamonds in the park; winter skating at the community rink; the treed playground off Ranchero Drive NW; and Crowfoot Library, just across Nose Hill Drive.
Nearest farmers’ market: Dalhousie Farmers’ Market, 5432 Dalhart Road NW — Thursdays, 3:30–7:30 pm, outdoors June to early October; indoors in spring — about 1.8 km away. Year-round, the closest is Calgary Farmers’ Market West (25 Greenbriar Drive NW), about 4 km away.
