About Strathcona Park

One of Calgary's most established and coveted SW communities.

Established in 1980 and ranked #9 out of 189 Calgary communities, Strathcona Park is one of SW Calgary's most enduring and desirable addresses. The community has two distinct characters: the older eastern section features mature landscaping and stunning views of the downtown skyline, while the newer western section winds along a ravine system with many homes backing directly onto natural greenspace.

With a median household income of $158,243 — 67% above the Alberta average — Strathcona Park attracts professionals and established families who value quality of life and long-term investment. Downtown is just 15 minutes by car via Bow Trail.
