By the numbers
Somerset 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 Somerset
Fun facts: Somerset is named for the county of Somerset, England; the name means roughly "people of Somerton," and Somerton means "summer settlement." The community is laid out in a circle, with streets radiating out from it, meant to feel like an English garden, and the community emblem echoes that shape. Most streets start with "Somer," such as Somervale, Somerside and Somercrest. Somerset's playground was the last of Calgary's 10 new inclusive playgrounds, finished in 2022, with a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round, a rocking raft and musical play pieces. The community garden by the CTrain line holds a yearly garden contest.
Somerset is in far SW Calgary, between 162 Avenue, Stoney Trail and the CTrain line, with Shawnessy and Silverado next door. It was established in the mid-1990s and is almost entirely homes.
The Somerset–Bridlewood Community Association runs Music in the Park, an Easter egg hunt and Lunch with Santa. The central park has a spray park, tennis and basketball courts and a gazebo. Somerset–Bridlewood CTrain station is the south end of the Red Line, and Routes 14 and 52 loop through the community.
Things to do: Cool off at the spray park in summer. Play tennis or basketball at the central park. Picnic by the gazebo. Catch Music in the Park in August. Take the Red Line downtown from the end of the line.
Nearest farmers’ market: Fresh & Local Market, Avenida Village, 12445 Lake Fraser Drive SE — Thursday to Sunday, year-round, indoors — about 5 km away.

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