Richmond Hill Calgary
Richmond Hill appeals to buyers seeking an established west Calgary setting with convenient shopping, recreation and transportation access. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, while Signal Hill Centre and Westhills Towne Centre provide nearby groceries, restaurants, professional services and everyday shopping.
Its position on Calgary’s western hills also means that some properties may offer elevated outlooks or mountain views.
Families are often drawn to Signal Hill because it combines an established southwest Calgary setting, family sized housing, nearby schools, recreation and extensive everyday amenities. Residents are represented by an active community association that maintains amenities such as a skating rink, gardens, pickleball courts and community facilities. The association also organizes neighbourhood events and volunteer activities for residents of Richmond Hill and the wider Signal Hill area.

Reported Crime in Richmond Hill and Signal Hill
Crime figures are not published separately for the Richmond Hill subdivision. The following statistics apply to the official Signal Hill community, including Richmond Hill and its other residential villages.
Signal Hill recorded 121 reported incidents in 2025, compared with 103 in 2024. This represents an increase of approximately 17.5%.
Using Signal Hill’s 2019 population of 13,395, the 2025 rate was approximately 9.03 reported incidents per 1,000 residents.
That rate was:
- Below the overall median for established residential communities
- Above the median for established residential communities with populations of 12,000 or more
The two comparisons use different peer groups, which explains why Signal Hill can fall below one median while sitting above another.
Reported category rates were approximately:
- 2.99 vehicle-related incidents per 1,000 residents
- 2.24 violent/person incidents per 1,000 residents
- 1.72 residential break-ins per 1,000 residents
Vehicle-related crime was the largest reported category. Higher-impact categories, including violent/person crime, robbery and residential break-ins, represented approximately 52.1% of reported incidents.
Crime statistics should be considered alongside the location, time and nature of the incidents. A large official community containing residential streets, shopping centres and major transportation routes may experience different patterns in different areas.
These figures provide historical context but cannot guarantee personal safety or predict future conditions.
Signal Hill Home Prices and Market Conditions
Detached homes
The detached segment recorded:
14 sales
22 new listings
28 homes in inventory
Two months of supply
64% sales-to-new-listings ratio
$975,000 benchmark price
2.3% year-over-year price increase
22 days on market
These figures placed detached homes in seller-favouring conditions, although buyers still had enough inventory to compare several properties.
Apartments
Apartments recorded four sales, nine new listings and 20 units in inventory. The apartment benchmark price was $340,700, down approximately 7.5% year over year.
With five months of supply, apartment conditions favoured buyers.
Townhouses
Townhouses recorded three sales, two new listings and six units in inventory. The benchmark price was $430,600, down approximately 4.2% year over year.
Two months of supply placed the segment in seller-favouring conditions, but the small number of transactions means individual sales can noticeably influence the monthly statistics.
Semi-detached homes
Three semi-detached homes sold during June, with three new listings and five units in inventory. The segment had approximately 1.67 months of supply and was classified as a seller’s market.
What This Means for Richmond Hill Buyers and Sellers
Richmond Hill detached-home buyers may face competition for renovated or well-positioned properties, particularly homes with views, attractive lots or updated interiors. However, two months of supply is not as restrictive as an extreme seller’s market, so buyers should still compare recent sales and evaluate each property carefully.
Detached sellers may benefit from the wider Signal Hill market’s positive year-over-year benchmark movement. Pricing remains important because buyers can compare Richmond Hill homes with properties in Signal Hill, Christie Park, Strathcona Park, Springbank Hill and other nearby west Calgary communities.
Apartment buyers had more negotiating room in June, with five months of supply and benchmark prices below the previous year. Townhouse sellers experienced tighter conditions, but the small number of transactions means building-specific comparable sales remain essential.
How Richmond Hill Compares with Surrounding Communities
Richmond Hill occupies a middle-to-upper price position within west Calgary. Because Richmond Hill is part of the official Signal Hill community, its market comparison uses Signal Hill’s June 2026 detached benchmark price of $975,000.
Aspen Woods, Discovery Ridge, Christie Park and Springbank Hill all had detached benchmarks above $1.19 million. These communities may appeal to buyers seeking newer executive homes, larger properties or more premium locations along Calgary’s western edge.
Richmond Hill remained more affordable than those communities while still offering an established west Calgary location, convenient access to shopping and a predominantly detached-home setting.
Communities east of Sarcee Trail generally provided lower detached benchmark prices. Rosscarrock was approximately $815,200, Glendale was $803,300, Glamorgan was $750,800 and Glenbrook was $740,400. These neighbourhoods may offer a more accessible entry point into west or inner southwest Calgary, although the housing stock, redevelopment patterns and neighbourhood character differ from Richmond Hill.
Richmond Hill may suit buyers who want a west Calgary location and detached-home setting without moving into the higher benchmark ranges of Aspen Woods, Discovery Ridge, Christie Park or Springbank Hill. Buyers prioritizing a lower purchase price may also compare Glendale, Glamorgan, Glenbrook and Rosscarrock.
