Community Safety in Richmond
Calgary Police Service community data recorded 92 selected crime incidents in Richmond during 2025, virtually unchanged from 91 incidents in 2024. Using Richmond’s 2019 population of 4,962 as the available denominator, this represents an approximate rate of 18.5 incidents per 1,000 residents, below the median for comparable mixed-use and inner-city communities. The use of a historical population figure should be considered when interpreting the comparison.
Vehicle-related crime was the largest category, accounting for 54 incidents. This included 39 thefts from vehicles and 15 vehicle thefts. The data also recorded 12 violent or person-related incidents, six residential break-ins and 20 commercial or other non-residential break-ins. No robberies were recorded within the selected categories during 2025.
Although Richmond’s overall incident total remained stable, vehicle thefts increased from eight in 2024 to 15 in 2025. Theft from vehicles remained unchanged at 39 incidents, while assaults declined from eight to four. Commercial and other break-ins decreased slightly from 22 incidents to 20.
Richmond Housing Market Update – August 2026
Richmond recorded eight residential sales in August 2026, down from 16 sales in August 2025. Fifteen new listings entered the market, compared with 20 a year earlier, while total inventory declined from 34 to 30 properties. The overall sales-to-new-listings ratio fell from approximately 80% to 53%, and estimated months of supply increased from 2.1 to 3.75 months.
Detached homes were the strongest segment, recording seven sales against seven new listings. This produced a 100% sales-to-new-listings ratio and 1.7 months of supply. The detached benchmark price increased approximately 4% year over year to $906,000. Detached homes took an average of 52 days to sell and achieved approximately 97% of their asking prices.
Semi-detached conditions were considerably softer. One property sold while four new listings entered the market, resulting in a 25% sales-to-new-listings ratio. With eight available properties, months of supply reached eight months. The semi-detached benchmark price was $959,500, approximately 1% higher than August 2025. The single sale took 33 days and achieved 98% of its asking price.
Across the properties that sold, the estimated average marketing time was approximately 50 days, up from 33 days last August. Sellers achieved approximately 97% of their asking prices, compared with roughly 98% a year earlier.
Overall, Richmond’s August market varied significantly by property type. Detached homes remained competitive, with stronger sales and less than two months of supply. Semi-detached homes, townhouses and apartments experienced slower demand and more buyer-friendly conditions. The contrasting results make property-specific pricing particularly important in the current Richmond market.
When compared to nearby communities:
Altadore typically commands higher prices, especially for luxury infill homes
South Calgary is generally priced slightly above Richmond due to its direct proximity to Marda Loop
Garrison Woods offers similar or slightly higher pricing depending on property style
Richmond continues to stand out as a strong value option within Calgary’s inner city market with premium long term appeal, especially for buyers looking for location, infill housing, and access to central amenities. Detached prices are up slightly year-over-year, but higher supply means sellers need to be very realistic with pricing and presentation. For buyers, Richmond may offer more opportunity than tighter inner city markets, especially where listings have been sitting or where condition does not match the asking price.
Richmond Green Redevelopment
The biggest change in the neighborhood right now is the Richmond Green Park redevelopment. Calgary is reinvesting millions into the park: adding a disc golf course, pickleball courts, and a naturalized canopy. Properties bordering the park are likely to see a significant lifestyle premium.
New Supply
A portion of the former park land was sold for a mixed use development; roughly 400 new units, including townhomes and condos. If you prefer a modern, maintenance free build over a traditional detached home, keep an eye on these pre-constructions.
The Infill Advantage
Richmond is in a state of constant renewal. You’ll find a mix of post-war bungalows and ultra modern infills (two skinny homes built on one traditional 50 foot lot). If you buy an older bungalow, you aren’t just buying a house; you’re buying land value. If you’re looking for a long term hold, look for R-C2 zoned lots which allow for future duplexes.
Richmond Real Estate Overview
Richmond features a blend of older bungalows, duplexes, and newer infill homes, reflecting ongoing redevelopment throughout the area.
Buyers can expect to find:
Modern detached infill homes with contemporary finishes
Semi detached homes offering functional layouts
Condos and townhomes for more affordable entry points
Original homes on larger lots with redevelopment potential
Detached home prices in Richmond typically range from the mid $700,000s to over $1.1M depending on the property type, age, and location.

FAQ's
What is the current average price for a home in Richmond?
As of April 2026, the average price for a detached home (primarily modern infills) sits between $900k and $1.2M.
Entry level: You can still find older “war-time” bungalows in the $750k–$850k range, though these are often sold for their land value.
Luxury: High-end custom builds with premium finishes can exceed $1.8M.
What is the difference between Richmond and Knob Hill?
You will often see the area referred to as Richmond/Knob Hill.
Richmond generally refers to the area south of 17th Avenue and north of 33rd Avenue.
Knob Hill is the specific pocket tucked into the northeast corner of the community. From a real estate perspective, they share the same community association and are valued very similarly, though Knob Hill offers slightly quicker access to the Downtown core.
Is Richmond a good area for real estate investment?
Yes. Richmond is considered a ‘high demand, low inventory’ neighborhood.
The Marda Loop Effect: Its proximity to the Marda Loop shopping district ensures high rental demand and strong resale value.
Zoning: Many lots are zoned R-C2, meaning a single 50 foot lot can be split to build two semi-detached homes. This “redevelopment potential” acts as a floor for property values.
What are the local schools like?
Richmond is a top choice for families due to its diverse schooling options:
Richmond School: A well regarded elementary school located right in the heart of the community.
Alternatives: The area is close to Masters Academy (a popular private school) and is within the catchment area for several high ranking French Immersion and Catholic schools.
How is the commute to Downtown Calgary?
It is one of the best in the city.
Driving: You can reach the downtown core in 8–12 minutes via Crowchild Trail or 14th Street.
Transit: Multiple bus routes (like the MAX Yellow or Route 7) connect through the neighborhood. The Sunalta LRT station is also nearby for those living on the north end of the community.
How does Richmond compare to Altadore?
Think of Richmond as Altadore’s slightly more “attainable” sibling.
Altadore tends to have a higher concentration of luxury builds and sits closer to the Elbow River, commanding a 10–15% premium.
Richmond offers the same amenities and proximity to Marda Loop but often with slightly larger lots and a bit more ‘breathing room’ between houses.
