Currie Barracks Neighbourhood Guide
Currie Barracks ranks among Calgary's most compelling redevelopment stories: the former Canadian Forces Base Calgary lands, master-planned by Canada Lands Company and built out in phases since 2010. What's taken shape is dense, walkable, and mixed-use — with an established, inner-city feel closer to Crescent Heights than to the military base these streets used to be.
Few Calgary communities pack in this much housing variety: brownstones and townhomes along the main streets, stacked condos through the central core, modern infill detached homes where converted lots once stood, and a growing supply of mid-rise buildings. Design details borrow from the original 1939 base structures — some preserved outright, others echoed in newer construction — giving Currie a sense of history that brand-new subdivisions simply can't fake.
School-age kids in the area fall under Mount Royal School (CBE) for K-6 (shared with next-door Mount Royal), then move on to Western Canada High School (CBE) for grades 10-12. Mount Royal University sits right along Currie's western edge, roughly a 5-minute walk from the whole south side of the community. Marda Loop's shops are about a 10-minute walk away on the pathway network, and Crowchild Trail gets you downtown in around 7 minutes.
Homes here typically list between $500K and $1.1M depending on the housing type, and the largest detached infills can top $1.4M. Buyers tend to be young professionals, people working close to downtown, and downsizers coming from bigger homes in Mount Royal or Altadore — helped along by a walk score that's among the best in inner-SW Calgary. It's worth cross-shopping against Garrison Woods, Marda Loop, and Altadore.
