Vista Heights records a 12.5% year‑over‑year decline in reported incidents, the latest downward shift in the northeast.

A residential pocket in Calgary’s northeast that appears to centre around one elementary school and a modest network of neighbourhood and district parks. The area tends to show a year‑over‑year drop in reported incidents, while median assessed values have risen sharply over the past five years.

Highlights
