Queensland Calgary Real Estate (2026): Prices, Schools, Honest Take

The short version

Queensland is affordable SE family — 1970s-1980s detached, Macleod Trail walkable, established working-class community. Detached from ~$520K.

Where Queensland Sits — and Who Lives There

Queensland sits between Macleod Trail (east), Bonaventure Drive (west), Canyon Meadows Drive (north), and Heritage Drive (south). Built 1969-1985.

Median age 43. Median household income ~$78K. Original owners who bought new off Bonaventure and Queensland Drive in the '70s are now moving on, opening the door for first-time buyers priced out of Willow Park next door — a natural spot for move-up families and anyone selling your home to right-size within the same SE quadrant.
