What makes Meadowlark Park distinct

Meadowlark Park is one of Calgary's smallest inner-city communities. It was founded in 1955 by developer Art Sullivan and built out from the mid-1950s onward, and it is known for its detached mid-century bungalows on wide, curving lots arranged in a half-moon around a central public park. The community sits in the southwest, north of Glenmore Trail and east of Elbow Drive, directly beside Chinook Centre. The original Milton Williams School and several homes were demolished around 2005 to make way for the Elbow Drive and Glenmore Trail interchange; a cairn in the green space at the south end now commemorates the site.

Meadowlark Park is a premium, established inner-city market of 1950s bungalows and newer infill. In 2025, about 10 single-family homes sold at an average of roughly $1.02 million, and current listings have typically sat well above that, averaging in the low $1.4-million range, with individual prices varying widely depending on whether a home is an original bungalow or a modern rebuild. Because so few homes trade each year, these figures move quickly, so ask for current sold data before setting expectations.

The honest trade-offs

Even a tucked-away SW pocket beside Chinook Centre has trade-offs. Here is what to weigh before buying in Meadowlark Park — the Glenmore Trail edge, the lack of shops inside the community, and the teardown activity a straight-shooting agent tells you up front:

• •There is no C-Train station within the community, so residents drive or bus to Chinook station and rely on Elbow Drive and Macleod Trail for the downtown commute.
• •The community is bounded by Glenmore Trail on the south and Elbow Drive on the west, so homes near those arterials can experience traffic noise.
• •Much of the original housing stock dates to the 1950s, so unrenovated homes may need updating and are sometimes priced with land value in mind.
• •The residential area is small (about 277 dwellings on the western half of the community, with Chinook Centre occupying the east), so there are few shops or restaurants within Meadowlark Park itself despite the mall next door.
• •Ongoing teardown-and-infill activity means buyers of original bungalows may live near construction, and streetscapes are a mix of old and new.
