AI insight

Britannia posts Calgary’s premium residential assessments, with a median of $2.23 M and a 44.8% rise over five years.

An upscale residential pocket where high‑value homes sit alongside limited on‑site amenities. Residents rely on neighbouring areas for schools and services, but enjoy nearby transit links and a downward trend in crime.

Highlights
  • Median residential assessed value is $2.23 M, among the highest in Calgary’s centre.
  • Assessed values have increased 44.8% over the past five years, signalling strong market appreciation.
  • Four bus stops are located within the boundary, providing local transit access.
  • The nearest LRT station (39 Avenue) lies 1.8 km away, connecting to the Red Line.
  • Crime incidents dropped 20% year‑over‑year to 12 in 2024.
Worth noting
  • No schools are located inside Britannia, so students attend schools in adjacent communities.
  • The community contains no libraries, community centres or other services within its boundary.
  • Only one district park serves the neighbourhood, limiting on‑site recreational space.
