Aspen Woods Real Estate, Street by Street: Homes in Calgary’s West End

Ben Sweet · team lead, Ben Sweet & Associates at Real Broker · Last updated: November 12, 2026

Aspen Woods is best known for big houses near the private schools. The more useful detail for anyone researching Aspen Woods Calgary real estate is that the community is really a dozen families of street names, almost all beginning with “Aspen,” and each was built over its own span of years on its own typical lot size. If you are comparing Aspen Woods homes for sale, pricing your own house, or reading reviews of the top Calgary realtors before you hire one, start with the street. Ben’s clients have said he “knows market very well” (Mykhaylo K., Aspen Woods seller, RankMyAgent), and on this page everything can be checked: City of Calgary open data, the 2021 Census, CREB and our own record.

Which Aspen Woods street are you looking at?

Almost every house street here belongs to a family that shares its first two words: Aspen Ridge Heights, Aspen Ridge Way and Aspen Ridge Place are all one family, for example. We sorted the City’s 2,390 detached-house parcels in Aspen Woods by street family, then read the build years and lot sizes the assessment roll records for each. The pattern: build years overlap from one family to the next, but lot sizes differ a lot, and across the community lot size tracks assessed value far more closely than the year a house was built.

Detached houses only, from the City of Calgary’s current property assessment roll (open data, read November 12, 2026). Families with fewer than 50 houses, and houses on numbered streets, are left out of the table. Assessed values by street family are in the Market snapshot.

Three things follow for buyers and sellers. First, the Aspen Ridge streets are a market of their own: their median lot is about 8,900 square feet against roughly 5,550 for the community as a whole, and most of Aspen Woods’ highest-assessed houses are there. Second, Aspen Hills is the most affordable way into a detached house, on lots near 4,300 square feet. Third, Aspen Summit is the largest family, and its houses span more than a decade of construction, so two homes on neighbouring Aspen Summit streets can be a decade apart in age and finish.

Six independent school campuses on the doorstep

The City of Calgary’s school-locations data puts two independent schools inside Aspen Woods, both on 93 Street SW: Webber Academy, and Calgary Academy with its Calgary Academy Collegiate. Just across 17 Avenue SW, within about 150 metres of the community line, are Rundle College’s elementary school, its junior and senior high school, and Rundle Studio. That makes six independent school campuses, run by three school societies, inside or right beside one community. Ambrose University, a Christian university, is also close, on Ambrose Circle SW.

Public and Catholic options are close too. Guardian Angel School, a Calgary Catholic elementary school, is inside the community on Aspen Hills Drive. Ernest Manning High School (Calgary Board of Education) sits just south of 17 Avenue on Springborough Boulevard, and Dr. Roberta Bondar School is just east of the community on Strathcona Drive. School designations change, so check the Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic school finders for a specific address before you buy. Private schools set their own admissions and waitlists; living next door does not guarantee a seat.

If a school is the reason you are looking, find out its admission timeline before you set a moving date, so the purchase, the possession date and the school start line up.

How many Aspen Woods homes has Ben Sweet & Associates bought or sold?

Ben Sweet & Associates has at least 9 recorded sales in Aspen Woods since 2008 — 3 helping buyers, 5 for sellers and 1 for a client on both sides — plus 10 verified client reviews from Aspen Woods clients (team transaction records and review platforms).

Two details stand out in that record. The first is the type of home: 8 of the 9 sales were detached houses, and the ninth was a condo. That mirrors Aspen Woods itself, where three in four homes are houses. The second is that the record leans to the selling side: 5 of the 9 were listings. Three of the 9 closed within about six weeks of each other, from late May to early July 2023: two listings and one purchase.

The reviews add a third pattern: Aspen Woods buyers often arrive from somewhere else. Two of the team’s Aspen Woods buyer reviews come from people moving to Alberta, one of them from Vancouver.

“We have moved multiple times and this was our best experience with a realtor. Moving from Vancouver to Calgary they made everything so easy.”

Getting out of Aspen Woods: the CTrain corner and the ring road

This is a driving community. In the 2021 Census, 81% of employed residents drove to work, against 77% citywide, and 5% took transit, against 9% across Calgary. The reason is geography: Aspen Woods stretches a little over 3 kilometres from 69 Street SW in the east to Stoney Trail in the west, and its one CTrain station, 69 Street, sits at the southeast corner. The station opened in December 2012 as the western end of the Blue Line and has park-and-ride parking, so for most residents transit means driving to the train.

The west side changed in December 2023, when the West Calgary Ring Road opened along Stoney Trail and finished the city’s ring road. That gave the western streets a direct route north to the Trans-Canada and south toward the southwest ring road without crossing the city. For a weekend in the mountains, the Trans-Canada is reached by heading north on Stoney Trail.

Big households, high incomes: the census picture

The 2021 Census, as compiled in the City of Calgary’s community profile, shows who buys here. Aspen Woods had 9,435 residents in 3,000 households. The average household had 3.1 people against 2.6 citywide, and 45% of households had four or more people, against 26% across Calgary. A quarter of residents were 14 or younger. The median household income before tax was $182,000 in 2020, against $98,000 citywide, and 83% of households owned their home, against 69%. Four in ten residents were immigrants, against a third of Calgarians.

The housing is young. Of the homes counted in 2021, 49% were built from 2001 to 2010 and 41% from 2011 to 2015. There are no semi-detached houses or duplexes in the count at all: 77% of homes are single-detached, 12% row houses and 11% apartments in low-rise buildings.

Day-to-day shopping centres on Aspen Landing, a 23-acre retail village at 85 Street and 17 Avenue SW that its architect, Zeidler, dates to 2009. Its shops, restaurants and services are within walking distance of the southern streets and a short drive from the rest.

Next door: West Springs, Signal Hill and the 17 Avenue edge

Aspen Woods borders West Springs to the north, a community of the same era with its own row of shops on 85 Street SW. To the southeast, our Signal Hill guide covers an older ridge-top community built mostly from 1981 to 2000. Springbank Hill lies south across 17 Avenue, and Strathcona Park and Christie Park sit to the east. Still deciding between areas with kids in mind?

Aspen Woods: quick answers

Is Aspen Woods mostly acreages?

Which private schools are in or beside Aspen Woods?

The 69 Street station, the western end of the Blue Line, sits at the community’s southeast corner and opened in December 2012. From the far west end of Aspen Woods it is about 3 kilometres away in a straight line, so most residents drive to it or take a bus.
