Cedarbrae

Housing and community character

• Cedarbrae real estate includes detached houses, semi-detached homes, townhouses and low-rise apartments. Established bungalows, split-level homes and two-storey properties contribute to a streetscape shaped largely by the community’s earlier development.
• The City of Calgary’s community profile, based on the 2021 Census, reports that approximately 52% of occupied private dwellings were single-detached houses, 25% were semi-detached houses, 12% were row houses and 10% were apartments in buildings under five storeys. This substantial attached-home component is an important part of Cedarbrae’s housing character.
• The same profile shows that 57% of occupied dwellings were built between 1961 and 1980, with another 26% built between 1981 and 1990. These figures describe the community’s established housing stock rather than the properties currently available for sale.
• Residential pockets around Cedarbrae Drive, Cedarbrook Way, Cedardale Drive and Cedarille streets provide different settings within the neighbourhood. When comparing homes, buyers can consider proximity to Oakfield Drive’s schools and community centre, neighbourhood green spaces, local shopping and the roads around Cedarbrae’s perimeter.
