Abbeydale Community Reviews

""

Abbeydale is a residential neighbourhood located in the northeast quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is bounded by the Trans-Canada Highway to the north, the East Freeway (marking the city limits) to the east, Canadian National Railway tracks to the south, and 68 Street East to the west.
As of 2025, Abbeydale continues to be a diverse and vibrant community. Though historical data from the early 2000s recorded a population of just over 6,000, current estimates reflect modest growth in line with broader urban trends in northeast Calgary. The community has long been known for its multicultural makeup—data from 2000 showed that 27.1% of residents were immigrants, and this percentage has likely increased in recent years as the city continues to welcome newcomers.
Housing in Abbeydale consists primarily of single-family homes, with a smaller number of condominiums or apartments (2.5% as of 2000) and a significant rental market, with around 22.8% of units rented at the time. Income diversity is also a feature of the neighbourhood: the median household income in 2000 was $55,345, with 17.3% of residents considered low income.
Educational needs in the community are served by Abbeydale Elementary (public) and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Elementary School (Catholic), which continue to play central roles in supporting local families.
