Who Cedarbrae fits best
SW families wanting Fish Creek and South Glenmore Park at the doorstep, downsizers moving into a paired villa, and first-time buyers priced out of newer southwest communities. Because so much of the stock is 1970s-80s bungalows and split-levels, many properties suit a legal basement suite for rental income or a mortgage helper.

What makes Cedarbrae distinct
Cedarbrae is an established southwest Calgary community developed mainly through the 1970s and early 1980s (the district plan was set out in 1973, on land the city annexed in 1956). It sits between South Glenmore Park and Fish Creek Provincial Park, bounded by Southland Drive to the north, 24 Street SW to the east, Anderson Road to the south, and Tsuut'ina Trail to the west, giving residents quick access to major regional green space. Along its northern edge, the Southland Leisure Centre offers pools, arenas, and fitness facilities, and the community is laid out with several neighbourhood parks and pathways, reinforcing its mature, family-oriented character.
Cedarbrae is one of the more affordable established southwest communities, with a housing stock led by 1970s-80s detached bungalows and split-levels plus some attached and condominium homes. Recent CREB-area data showed a June 2026 median sold price of about $475,000; market figures shift month to month, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a guarantee.
The honest trade-offs
No SW community is flawless, and Cedarbrae between Southland Drive and Anderson Road is no exception. Here is what to weigh before buying here — the trade-offs a straight-shooting agent names up front:
- •There is no C-Train station within the community, so transit riders depend on feeder buses or a drive to the Anderson or Southland stations across 24 Street.
- •Most homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, so original systems such as Poly-B plumbing, older aluminum branch wiring, or aging furnaces and shingles can be present and are worth confirming by inspection on unrenovated properties.
- •Perimeter arterials, including Anderson Road, Southland Drive, and Tsuut'ina Trail on the west edge, carry steady traffic, so lots that back or side onto them can experience road noise.
- •Grocery and larger retail sit mostly outside the community along Southland Drive and Macleod Trail rather than in a walkable village core.
- •Attached and condominium units carry monthly condo fees that vary by complex, so review each building's fees and reserve-fund study before buying.
Who Cedarbrae is for: Families and value-focused buyers who want an established, park-rich southwest community with affordable mature detached homes and easy access to Fish Creek Park and the Southland Leisure Centre.
Who it is not for: Buyers who need to walk to a C-Train station, want new construction or a walkable retail main street, or would rather avoid the updating and maintenance that often come with 1970s-80s housing.
