By the numbers
University Heights 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 University Heights
Fun facts: Around 1910, the land was first subdivided as "The Bronx," with smaller plans called "Bronx Villa" and "Golden Bronx." The sellers promised a future streetcar and "magnificent views of the snow-clad Rockies," but the 1913 bust ended the plan. In 1961, the streets were going to be named after famous universities, but Alderman Grant MacEwan opposed the idea and it was dropped. Today every street name starts with "U," such as Unwin, Ulster, Usher, Uxbridge and Utah.
University Heights is a small NW community between the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, McMahon Stadium and the Alberta Children's Hospital. Homes were built from the 1960s on.
The community association has no hall of its own, but it runs seniors yoga, children's soccer and a yearly Neighbour Day BBQ. University and Banff Trail CTrain stations are nearby, and MAX Orange buses stop at the hospitals. The former Stadium Shopping Centre site is being rebuilt as a new urban village.
Things to do: Catch a Stampeders or Dinos game at McMahon Stadium. Picnic and play at Utah Park. Browse the summer Night Market in University District. Walk the University District ponds and pathways. Take the CTrain downtown from University station.

Community-level prices move month to month, so a number published on a website is out of date almost immediately.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 University Heights — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
