By the numbers
Upper Mount Royal 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.

About Upper Mount Royal
Fun facts: Early residents reportedly wanted streets named for Washington, Cleveland and Grant, but British-Canadian Calgary objected. The streets were then named for French-Canadian figures like Frontenac, Montcalm, Talon and Laval, and a City report says that after that, "there was no more talk of American Hill." The elm boulevards on Frontenac, Montcalm, Montreal and Quebec avenues were planted in 1929–30, and the City now lists them as historic streetscapes. In 1929, a resident built a Japanese garden from about 200 tons of fossil-bearing stone; the garden is gone, but its stone walls and chairs remain.
Upper Mount Royal sits on the hill above 17 Avenue SW, west of Cliff Bungalow-Mission and north of Elbow Park. Its curving streets were laid out by the CPR in 1911 as a "garden suburb," and many of its brick and sandstone homes date from that era.
The Mount Royal Community Association, which started in 1934, runs a weekly playgroup at the Station House. The area has six small parks, and buses run along 14th Street and 17th Avenue.
Things to do: Watch the skyline from Evamy Ridge. Climb the 156 Glencoe Stairs. Walk the Prospect Trail toward Elbow Park. Bring the dog to Cartier Park's off-leash area. Visit the General Wolfe statue in South Mount Royal Park. Shop and eat on 17th Avenue.
