NORTHWEST
Sits in the Northwest.
Calgary divides naturally along its NW / NE / SW / SE compass. Each quadrant carries its own grain. The dot on the right shows where Dalhousie sits in relation to downtown and the other 270 communities.
A northwest community with rising home values, a cluster of elementary and junior high schools, modest park space, and a notable decline in reported crime.
Consider if: Consider if you need a senior high school within walking distance, as none are located inside the community.

Source: Calgary Police Service. Most-serious-violation methodology; domestic violence excluded. From 2024-12, figures come from the Calgary Police Service, which rounds counts between 1 and 5 to 2 for privacy. Earlier figures are exact counts from the City of Calgary Open Data Portal. Small numbers are therefore not directly comparable across that date.
Each cell counts reported crime incidents in that month — lighter shades read as quieter, darker as busier. Blank cells are months with no data on record, not months without crime. Hover a cell for the exact total.
