By the numbers
Walden 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 Walden
Fun facts: Walden is named after Henry David Thoreau's 1854 book Walden. Its first library was a converted 8-by-8-foot greenhouse, where readers took books with no card and no checkout. The community covers 620 acres, about 160 of them planned as parkland, laid out as three "villages." Every street name starts with "Walden," such as Walden Drive, Gate, Boulevard and Square.
Walden is in far SE Calgary, between Macleod Trail and the Bow River valley, with Legacy to the south. Building started in 2008, and the community is laid out around ponds, wetlands and stands of preserved trees.
Gates of Walden has a Save-On-Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, banks, a pub and several restaurants. Route 167 runs to Somerset–Bridlewood CTrain station, and pathways lead to the Bow River and Fish Creek Provincial Park.
Things to do: Walk the pond and wetland loop. Follow the pathway to Fish Creek Provincial Park. Grab a pint at the Windsor Rose Pub. Get coffee at Gates of Walden. Golf at nearby Blue Devil Golf Club.
Nearest farmers’ market: Cranston Summer Farmers’ Market, Century Hall, 11 Cranarch Road SE — Tuesdays, 4–8 pm, late June to late August — about 4 km away. Year-round, the closest is Fresh & Local Market (Avenida Village, 12445 Lake Fraser Drive SE), about 8 km away.

Questions
Walden — common questions
Which schools serve Walden?
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 Walden and I will confirm the designated school before you write an offer.
What are homes selling for in Walden?
Community-level prices move month to month, so a number published on a website is out of date almost immediately.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 Walden — what closed, at what price, and how long it took.
