Homes For Sale in Garrison Green
The neighbourhood of Garrison Green has a rich story. It was once the site of the Canadian Forces Base, home to several branches of the military. When that closed down in the 1990s, the city of Calgary proposed three communities to replace the military grounds, Garrison Woods, Currie Barracks, and Garrison Green. This small neighbourhood is the result of that decision and the recipient of future development. The neighbourhood is defined by Glenmore Trail, Crowchild Trail, and Richard Rd separating the neighbourhood from the university grounds.

Over 25% of the community has an immigrant background, many of them students who live here for the proximity to Mount Royal University. They tend to live in small households, maybe two or three to a residence. The family units are also small, mostly having one or two children at home. The average wage is less than Calgary standards and the education levels are much about the same as the rest of the city. The community, mainly because of the university, is fairly transient, with many homes available at any time.
