Kelvin Grove Calgary Real Estate
People are drawn to Kelvin Grove because it combines an established southwest Calgary setting with a convenient, relatively central location. Developed primarily during the 1960s, the community offers the mature character many buyers prefer while remaining well connected to Glenmore Trail, Elbow Drive, 14 Street SW and nearby transit.
A major attraction is its proximity to the Glenmore Reservoir and surrounding recreation network. Residents can easily reach Glenmore Park, Weaselhead Flats and regional walking and cycling pathways that connect around the reservoir and throughout Calgary.
Kelvin Grove also appeals to buyers seeking a smaller, higher-end detached-home community. In June 2026, its detached benchmark price was approximately $1.33 million, and only two detached homes were recorded in inventory. That limited supply can make the community feel more exclusive, although it also means buyers may need to wait for the right property.
Schools Near Kelvin Grove
Kelvin Grove is close to several Calgary Board of Education schools and alternative-program options.
École Chinook Park School offers regular and early French Immersion programming from kindergarten through Grade 6. The school also provides an Enhanced Educational Support Class.
Woodman School offers a regular Grades 7–9 program, early French Immersion from Grades 5–9 and late French Immersion from Grades 7–9. Kelvin Grove is specifically included among the communities designated for Woodman’s late French Immersion program.
Henry Wise Wood High School serves Grades 10–12 and offers regular programming and International Baccalaureate. Its broader programming includes athletics, creative arts, Career and Technology Studies and Gifted and Talented Education opportunities.
Eugene Coste School offers Spanish Bilingual programming from kindergarten through Grade 5. Kelvin Grove is one of the communities designated for that program, with standard entry generally occurring in kindergarten or Grade 1.
School assignments depend on the student’s exact home address, grade and selected program.
Reported Crime in Kelvin Grove
Kelvin Grove recorded 43 reported incidents in 2025, compared with 53 in 2024; a decrease of approximately 18.9%.
Based on the community’s 2019 population of 2,305, this represents approximately 18.66 reported incidents per 1,000 residents. The rate was above the broader established residential median but close to the median for established communities within the same population range.
Vehicle-related crime was the most frequently reported category. The approximate rates were:
- 7.38 vehicle-related incidents per 1,000 residents
- 6.07 violent/person incidents per 1,000 residents
- 1.74 residential break-ins per 1,000 residents
Higher-impact categories, including violent/person crime, robbery and residential break-ins, accounted for approximately 46.5% of reported incidents.
Because Kelvin Grove has a relatively small population, a modest change in incident counts can cause a noticeable change in its per-capita rate. Crime information should therefore be considered alongside the type and location of incidents, year-over-year trends and the specific street or property.
These figures provide historical context but should not be interpreted as a guarantee of personal safety or future conditions.
Kelvin Grove Home Prices and Market Conditions
Detached homes recorded one sale, one new listing and two properties in inventory. The detached benchmark price was $1,330,200, down approximately 2.8% year over year. Two months of supply placed the segment in seller-favouring conditions, but the small sample size means the result should be interpreted cautiously.
The apartment benchmark was $279,100, down approximately 8.8% year over year. One new apartment listing and two units in inventory were recorded, but there were no sales during June.
Two new townhouse listings and three properties in inventory were recorded, but no sales or dependable benchmark price were available. There was also insufficient semi-detached activity for meaningful analysis.
What This Means for Kelvin Grove Buyers and Sellers
Detached buyers may encounter limited selection because Kelvin Grove is a relatively small community with few monthly listings. However, the decline in the detached benchmark price suggests that buyers should still review recent comparable sales carefully rather than assuming every property will attract strong competition.
Detached sellers may benefit from the limited number of available homes, but the community’s low sales volume makes accurate pricing particularly important. Renovation quality, lot appeal and location within Kelvin Grove can have a greater influence on value than the monthly benchmark alone.
How Kelvin Grove Compares with Surrounding Communities
Kelvin Grove sits toward the premium end of the detached home market in this part of southwest Calgary. Its June 2026 detached benchmark price was $1,330,200, placing it close to Pump Hill at $1,320,400. Bayview was higher at $1,455,500, while Elboya and Lakeview were lower at approximately $1,234,500 and $1,078,900.
Buyers seeking an established community at a lower benchmark price may also compare Kelvin Grove with Chinook Park at $860,300, Windsor Park at $851,200 or Meadowlark Park at $773,000. These communities remained below Kelvin Grove’s detached benchmark, although housing styles, lot sizes, redevelopment activity and proximity to major roads can vary considerably.
More affordable established alternatives included Haysboro at $685,500, Acadia at $666,200 and Kingsland at $650,100. These communities may appeal to buyers who value the same general south Calgary location but do not require Kelvin Grove’s higher end detached-home price range.
