By the numbers
Southwood 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 Southwood
Fun facts: Before the subdivision, one of the original homesteaders was a flour and feed merchant who sat on Calgary's Town Council, and by 1901 part of the land was a ranch with a house called "Audhame." A 1910 farmhouse still stands in Southwood; it was more than 6 km outside Calgary when it was built. Nearly every street starts with "S," and many are named for North American places, such as Sacramento, Seattle, Spokane, Selkirk and Spadina.
Southwood is in SW Calgary, between Southland Drive, Macleod Trail, Anderson Road and 14 Street. Most homes were built in the 1960s.
The Southwood Community Association runs a hall, an outdoor rink, a skatepark and a community garden with fruit trees. Southland and Anderson CTrain stations are on the east edge, MAX Yellow runs along 14 Street, and Southcentre Mall is just across Macleod Trail.
Things to do: Skate on the community rink in winter. Rent a raised bed at the community garden. Walk the dog on the 14 Street off-leash strip. Have breakfast at Humpty's at Southwood Corner. Join a free tai chi session or a Makers Night with the Community Connectors. Swim at Southland Leisure Centre, just across 14 Street.
Nearest farmers’ market: Haysboro Outdoor Market, 1204 89 Avenue SW — select Wednesdays, 3–6 pm, May to October — about 1.9 km away. Year-round, the closest is Fresh & Local Market (Avenida Village, 12445 Lake Fraser Drive SE), about 2 km away.
