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 Saddle Ridge

Fun facts: Residents voted for the name "Saddle Ridge" in the late 1960s; it comes from a ridge about 100 feet high and the saddles found in many local homes. Before the suburbs, Saddle Ridge had rodeo grounds, team roping, 4-H horse shows and an all-girls rodeo.

Saddle Ridge is in far NE Calgary, between 80 Avenue NE, Airport Trail, Métis Trail and Stoney Trail. It started as a rural district of farms and horse country, and most of today's homes were built from the early 2000s on.

The community association runs pond parties, clean-ups and sports. Saddlecreek and Saddlecrest ponds have walking loops, and the new Northeast Athletic Complex is under construction. Saddletowne is the end of the Blue Line CTrain, with MAX Orange and Route 100 to the airport, and Saddletowne Circle has grocery stores and shops.

Things to do: Walk the pond loops at Saddlecreek and Saddlecrest. Bike the Greenway from Saddletowne. Eat street food and sweets at Savanna Bazaar. Visit Saddletowne Library. Take Route 100 to the airport.

Nearest farmers’ market: Blue Grass Garden Centre Farmers’ Market, Balzac — weekends, 10 am–4 pm, mid-July to end of August — about 8 km away. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 13 km away.

Recreation

What the Saddle Ridge Community Association runs

There is a community association, but no community centre of its own. Its published listing gives a post office box rather than a street address, and every facility on it reads no — no hall, no kitchen, no meeting rooms, no rinks, no courts. Indoor recreation is shared instead: Saddle Ridge is one of the three associations that opened the Genesis Centre together in January 2012, with Martindale and Taradale.

Listed by the Saddle Ridge Community Association on its own site.

Which schools are inside Saddle Ridge?

5 schools sit inside the community boundary: Light of Christ Catholic School, Peter Lougheed School, Saddle Ridge School, Hugh A. Bennett School, Gobind Sarvar School. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being the designated school for a given address.

Which schools serve Saddle Ridge?

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 Saddle Ridge and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.

What are homes selling for in Saddle Ridge?

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 Saddle Ridge — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
