Official records provide dated community context. Current listing status and conclusions about one property still require the applicable live record and property documents.
Households and mobility
A community snapshot with the reference year attached.
The profile counted 2,990 people in private households across 2,010 households, with an average household size of 1.5 people.
6% of the population was age 14 or younger, 8% was age 65 or older, 26% were immigrants. These figures describe Lower Mount Royal at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 2,010 private households, median total household income before tax was $57,600 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
1,960 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (67%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
730 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (61%), while 565 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (47%).
Community evidence briefA fuller Lower Mount Royal foundation.
Lower Mount Royal is an inner-city Calgary market shaped primarily by apartment and condominium living near the 17 Avenue corridor, with building quality and governance often mattering as much as the unit itself. The City of Calgary's 2021 Census profile counted 2,990 people in private households and 2,010 private households in the community. Apartments in buildings under five storeys represented 71% of occupied private dwellings, while apartments in taller buildings represented another 21%. The largest historical construction cohort was 1961 to 1980, which makes reserve planning, insurance, building-envelope history, mechanical systems, parking, storage, bylaws and special-assessment exposure important comparison points. Dusko Sremac leads the client relationship, with Michael Gloria featured as the designated Real Estate Partners community partner. Current listings should be compared building by building and unit by unit rather than against a broad neighbourhood average.
