Edgemont Homes for Sale: Ravine Trails, Nose Hill Park and Views Toward Downtown
Edgemont spreads across a northwest arm of Nose Hill, with Nose Hill Park right across Shaganappi Trail and the 35.5-hectare Edgemont Ravine winding through the middle of the community. From the higher streets you look out over the downtown skyline.
CREB counted more than 30 km of walking and biking paths and three off-leash parks here, and the community centre on Edgevalley Circle keeps a full calendar, from indoor pickleball to the winter rink in John Laurie Park.

Who Lives in Edgemont?
People who like being outside. Dog owners use the off-leash parks and the trails on Nose Hill, runners and cyclists use the 30-plus km of paths, and families spend afternoons at the ravine playground. Many have stayed a long time; a community survey CREB reported in 2021 found 41% of residents had lived here more than 20 years.
A weekend might start with a loop through the ravine past the marsh, carry on up the Nose Hill trails for the view back over the city, and finish with pickleball at the community centre. In winter, the same families skate at the rink in John Laurie Park.
Why Edgemont? Few communities have this much protected green space running right through them, with Nose Hill Park on the doorstep and views from the higher streets. Know going in that most houses are from the 1980s and 1990s, so updates vary, and that you'll likely drive or take a short trip to Dalhousie Station for the train.
Living in Edgemont: A Complete Guide
Daily Life in Edgemont
Edgemont is a place where the walk is part of the day. Ravine pathways run through the community, the Edgemont Ravine parking lot is on Edgebrook Boulevard, and Nose Hill Park is across Shaganappi Trail. The Edgemont Community Centre on Edgevalley Circle fills the rest of the week with programs and drop-ins.
The Edgemont Ravine
The City describes the ravines as carved by runoff after the glaciers retreated, part of the drainage off Nose Hill. Indigenous peoples used the area for thousands of years, and archaeologists have found campsites here. When the community was built in the late 1970s, the steep ravines were left natural and set aside as Environmental Reserve, and a marsh was built as part of the stormwater system.
Play & Exercise
A playground, outdoor fitness equipment, tennis and basketball courts, a gazebo and picnic tables sit inside the 35.5-hectare park.
Wildlife
White-tailed deer and coyotes use the ravines, Gray Catbirds and Brown Thrashers nest in the shrubs, and Red-winged Blackbirds and coots live in the marsh.
Plants
Trembling aspen, willow, native grasses and wildflowers, with cattails and bulrushes planted in the marsh.
Nose Hill Park & the Views
Nose Hill Park covers 1,129 hectares of native grassland, with hiking trails, designated off-leash areas and a Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) landmark. Much of Edgemont is a northwest extension of the same hill, which is why the higher streets, near the community's high point of about 1,245 metres, look out over the downtown skyline.
Homes & Real Estate in Edgemont
Edgemont was built from the late 1970s into the 2000s, starting in the south and finishing in the north, so the age of a home roughly follows its location. Most houses are detached, with some townhome complexes and low-rise condos. Homes that back onto a ravine path or sit high enough for a city view are the ones buyers ask about most. The Quick Search price buttons break at $650K and $950K.
Detached Homes
Established lots, many with mature trees. Check what's been renovated and how the lot sits relative to the ravine or the hill.
Townhomes & Condos
A smaller part of the community and the lower-priced way in. Each complex sets its own fees, so request the reserve fund study and recent budgets.
Getting Around
- CTrain: Dalhousie Station on the Red Line is just south of Edgemont across John Laurie Boulevard.
- Driving: Shaganappi Trail and Sarcee Trail run north to Stoney Trail, and John Laurie Boulevard runs along the south side.
- Shopping trips: Market Mall and Beacon Hill sit roughly 10 minutes away by car, per CREB.
Commuter Insight: Edgemont's lack of a station is offset by Dalhousie being close. If you'll take the train, time the trip from the street you like to the platform before you buy.
Schools & Education
Through grade 9, Edgemont's public schools are right in the community. Here's the path the 2026-27 finders showed:
- Elementary: Edgemont School handles kindergarten through grade 5.
- Junior high: Tom Baines School takes grade 6 and grades 7 through 9.
- High school: Sir Winston Churchill High School on Northland Drive in Brentwood, with regular and IB Diploma programs.
- Catholic path: Mother Mary Greene School on Edenwold Drive through grade 6, St. Jean Brebeuf School on Northland Drive for grades 7 through 9, then St. Francis High School on Northmount Drive.
Education Note: School boundaries change regularly. Confirm the school for the exact address using the CBE and Calgary Catholic school finders before you buy.
Community Life & Events
The Edgemont Community Association operates the hall at 33 Edgevalley Circle NW, with a gymnasium, meeting rooms and a commercial kitchen for rent. Its programs run from before- and after-school care and summer camps to Scouts, fencing, karate, Irish dance and seniors' groups, plus indoor pickleball drop-ins. The association also runs the outdoor rink in John Laurie Park, Snow Angels for winter shovelling, a Good Food Box and the Inside Edgemont newsletter. Through Calgary's ELM (Enhanced Landscape Maintenance) program, homeowners pay a small yearly levy that keeps the boulevards, medians and park beds planted and mowed.
Buying a Home in Edgemont
Market Dynamics
Edgemont is a resale market. Many homes have had the same owners for years, so expect everything from fully renovated to close to original. Today's Edgemont listings are in the search above.
Buyer Considerations
Walk the lot and the street: see whether the home backs onto a ravine path or a busier road, how close the nearest Nose Hill entrance is, and what the view is from the main floor. Have an inspector look closely at an older roof, windows and mechanical systems. For a townhome or condo, get the reserve fund study and recent budgets before conditions come off.
Compare to Other Communities
vs. Hawkwood
Across Sarcee Trail and a few years younger, from 1981. Edgemont has the Edgemont Ravine and Nose Hill on its doorstep.

Frequently Asked Questions About Edgemont
What affects home prices in Edgemont?
Setting and view lead the list. A home backing onto a ravine, or high enough to see downtown, is a different purchase from one on an inside street, and the amount of renovation varies widely in a community built mostly in the 1980s and 1990s. Compare recent sales in the same pocket of Edgemont rather than the community as a whole.
Is Edgemont good for families?
Families here get a lot outside the front door: a ravine with a playground and fitness equipment, Nose Hill Park next door, and a community centre running before- and after-school care, summer camps, Scouts and youth sports.
What schools serve Edgemont?
Kids in the public system start close to home at Edgemont School, from kindergarten through grade 5, then move to Tom Baines School for grades 6 through 9. For grades 10 to 12 they head to Brentwood for Sir Winston Churchill, where students can take the IB Diploma or the regular program. On the Catholic side, it's Mother Mary Greene through grade 6, St. Jean Brebeuf for junior high and St. Francis for grades 10 to 12. School boundaries change regularly, so confirm the school for any address with the CBE or Calgary Catholic finder before you buy.
What is the Edgemont Ravine?
It's a 35.5-hectare City park, also called Edgepark Ravine, carved by meltwater after the last ice age as part of the drainage off Nose Hill. The City protects it as Environmental Reserve. Inside you'll find trails and pathways, a constructed marsh, a playground, fitness equipment, a gazebo, and tennis and basketball courts. Deer, coyotes, Gray Catbirds, Brown Thrashers and Red-winged Blackbirds all live there.
How close is Nose Hill Park?
Right across Shaganappi Trail on Edgemont's east side. The City lists Nose Hill at 1,129 hectares, a natural environment park with hiking trails, native grassland, designated off-leash areas and a Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) landmark.
What are the views like from Edgemont?
Much of Edgemont sits on a northwest extension of Nose Hill. CREB puts the community's highest point at about 1,245 metres, and the higher streets look out over the downtown skyline and west toward the mountains.
Is Edgemont good for dog owners and walkers?
Very. CREB counted three off-leash parks and more than 30 km of walking and biking paths in Edgemont, and Nose Hill Park adds its own designated off-leash areas next door.
What does the Edgemont Community Association offer?
Its home base is the Edgevalley Circle community centre, with a gymnasium and rooms for rent, indoor pickleball drop-ins and a long list of programs. It also maintains the outdoor rink in John Laurie Park and runs Snow Angels, a Good Food Box and the Inside Edgemont newsletter.
Why are Edgemont's boulevards so well kept?
Edgemont homeowners chose to pay a small yearly levy through Calgary's Enhanced Landscape Maintenance program. The association spends it on extra mowing, seasonal flowers, shrub beds and watering along boulevards, medians and parks.
Do people stay in Edgemont long?
Many do. In a community survey reported by CREB in 2021, 41% of residents had lived in Edgemont more than 20 years, and Avenue Magazine placed it third on its best-neighbourhoods list in 2017.
How do I get downtown from Edgemont?
Most people drive, using Shaganappi Trail, Sarcee Trail or John Laurie Boulevard. For the train, Dalhousie Station on the Red Line is just south of Edgemont across John Laurie Boulevard.

REVIEWS
My husband and I recently purchased a home in Airdrie with Justin Newman and couldn't be happier with our experience! He guided us through the whole process, was incredibly helpful in answering questions, and went above and beyond to make sure the whole process was stress free and seamless. He was always available for phone calls and helped us navigate every aspect of the purchase (showings, home inspection, condo doc read, lawyers etc.). We highly recommend Happy House Hunting and Justin for a realtor in the Calgary area and will definitely be using him again!
