Upper Mount Royal Homes for Sale

Upper Mount Royal is one of Calgary's original upscale neighbourhoods: curving, tree-lined streets on the hill south of 17 Avenue SW, laid out by the Canadian Pacific Railway between 1905 and 1911, with help from the Olmsted Brothers landscape firm on the 1911 section. It was first nicknamed "American Hill" for the wealthy Americans who built here, and the CPR renamed it Mount Royal.

    Welcome to Montreal House, an award-winning architectural landmark in the heart of Calgary’s prestigious Mount Royal community, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Jeremy Sturgess. More than a home, this residence was thoughtfully envisioned as a place where family and friends naturally come together, where architecture fosters connection, conversation, and shared experiences. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, Montreal House offers over 5,700 sq. ft. of living space, including more than 4,000 sq. ft. above grade, five bedrooms, and a triple attached garage with ceiling height designed to accommodate a vehicle lift. Just moments from the Glencoe Club, top-rated schools, river pathways, and the shops and restaurants of 4th Street and Uptown 17th Avenue, the location offers a rare balance of privacy, community, and inner-city convenience. At the heart of the home, expansive open-concept living spaces and soaring double-height ceilings were intentionally designed to keep family and guests connected. Walls of glass blur the line between indoors and out, while carefully framed views flood the home with natural light. Extensive custom millwork provides exceptional storage throughout while reinforcing the home's refined architectural aesthetic. The striking exterior combines Corten steel and Kayu Batu wood, materials selected to age beautifully over time. A dramatic 25-foot sculptural steel fireplace anchors both the interior and exterior living spaces, while 18 cantilevered glulam beams provide shade, architectural rhythm, and a strong visual connection to the western garden. A discreet solar energy system further complements the home's forward-thinking design and long-term efficiency. Modern living is elevated by a fully integrated Savant home automation system, placing security, lighting, motorized window coverings, and audio/visual systems at your fingertips through a single intuitive application. The upper level is highlighted by a cantilevered primary retreat extending into the treetops, complete with a private rooftop terrace. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to maximize privacy, natural light, and the relationship between the home and its surroundings. Designed for entertaining and everyday living, the lower level features a temperature-controlled glass-enclosed wine cellar, guest suite, wet bar, and dedicated art storage. Internationally recognized as a finalist at the World Architecture Festival and recipient of multiple national design awards, Montreal House presents a rare opportunity to own one of Calgary's most celebrated residences, where exceptional architecture, advanced technology, sustainable design, and timeless family living come together in the heart of Mount Royal.

Upper Mount Royal House Prices and Market Trends

Upper Mount Royal has one of the highest detached benchmarks in Calgary, at $1,882,500. It's up 29% from 2020 to 2025 and has gained every year since 2020, but actual sale prices vary far more than the benchmark, from teardown lots to multi-million-dollar estates.

Upper Mount Royal Benchmark Prices by Home Type

Yearly average, 2017 to 2026 (2026 is the year to date). Hover a point for the exact figure.

The detached benchmark went from about $1.40M in 2020 to $1.81M in 2025, and it's 3% above a year ago now.

The median recent sale was about $2.51M, well above the benchmark, because the homes that sell here are larger than a typical Calgary detached home. Compare a home with sales on the same street and of the same age, not with the benchmark.

With so few sales, a single estate sale can swing the averages. The supply gauge shows how tight the market is.

How Fast Homes Sell

Upper Mount Royal 1.86Calgary 3.94
Seller's marketMonths of supplyBuyer's market

Months of supply is how long current listings would take to sell at today's pace. Upper Mount Royal sits at 1.86, City Centre at 4.59 and Calgary at 3.94. Lower means homes sell faster. Because only two or three homes sell a month, this is the typical month over the last six.

What Your Budget Buys

About half of recent sales were between $1.5M and $3M. There are usually a few sales under $1.5M, mostly older homes or smaller lots, and a steady handful above $4M for estates and new custom builds.

Well-priced homes go quickly: more than a third of recent sales went within a week. But about one in five took more than 60 days, so pricing right from the first day matters.

The streets follow the shape of the hill rather than a grid. Street names include Frontenac, Montcalm, Cartier, Talon, Laval and Wolfe, and streets such as Frontenac Avenue and Montcalm Crescent were planted with American elm and green ash in 1929 and 1930.

The Mount Royal Community Association counts 68 heritage homes, among them the 1905 Sayre house on Royal Avenue and the 1912 R.B. Bennett House on Prospect Avenue; Bennett later became Prime Minister. South Mount Royal Park has a bronze statue of General James Wolfe.

The shops and restaurants of 17 Avenue SW are at the bottom of the hill, and Marda Loop is a short drive southwest along 14 Street. The Mount Royal Community Association covers both Upper and Lower Mount Royal.

The homes

Homes You'll Find in Upper Mount Royal

Detached

$1.35M – $4.98M
  • Typical size 2,980 sq ft above grade
  • Typical lot about 7,965 sq ft
  • Typical property tax about $13,200 a year
  • Half sold in 15 days or less

Price ranges cover the middle 80% of recent sales.

The typical home that sold had about 2,980 sq ft above grade on a lot of about 7,965 sq ft, and 81% had a double garage or larger. About half of recent sales were homes built before 1980, many of them 1910s character homes, and over a third were built since 2000.

New homes cost more per square foot than older ones, but not by as much as you might expect: buyers here are paying mainly for the location and the lot.

When the CPR sold these lots it attached caveats, such as one house per lot, minimum building values and large setbacks. Some may still be on title, and the heritage guidelines also shape what can be built, so have a lawyer review the title before you plan a rebuild. The City's rezoning repeal in August 2026 returned about 99% of lots to their earlier district.

Elbow Park, just south along the Elbow River, is the closest match in price and age, with more river lots. Britannia and Elboya are smaller estate pockets farther south.

Altadore, near Marda Loop, has newer infills and more choice at lower prices.
