Frequently asked questions
What is the average assessed property value in West Springs?
The City of Calgary's most recent residential property assessment shows an average assessed value of $786,355 for West Springs — in the mid-range band citywide. Property assessment reflects ownership costs, not rent; actual monthly rent varies by unit type, building, and availability.
How is transit in West Springs?
West Springs has 45 Calgary Transit stops inside the community polygon and 69 stops total within a 400m walkshed (5-minute walk of the boundary). Spread over the 7.817 km² that walkshed covers, that is 8.83 stops per km², for a transit sub-score of 52/100 against a saturation of 17 stops/km². The score uses the density rather than the raw count so that a large community is not credited for stops nobody can walk to from any one address.
What is walkable from West Springs?
Within 1 km of the community we count 26 parks, 6 schools, 0 recreation facilities, and 2 attractions — 34 walkable points of interest in total, or 2.19 per km² across the 15.508 km² that walkshed covers. That density gives an amenities sub-score of 49/100.
How walkable is West Springs?
West Springs has 359 road intersections across 3.947 km² — a density of 90.96 intersections per km². That drives a walkability sub-score of 41/100, benchmarked against a saturation of 220 intersections/km² (dense routable grid). Intersection density is a standard proxy for walkable block size.
How much green space does West Springs have?
About 6% of West Springs's land area is covered by parks (0.227 km² of park inside a 3.947 km² neighborhood, based on the City of Calgary parks dataset). That produces a green space sub-score of 23/100, benchmarked against 25% coverage as saturation — neighborhoods above that are effectively park-first environments with residential woven through.
Is West Springs a good place to rent?
Rentvoy's composite rating for West Springs is 43/100, blending walkshed transit (25%), walkable amenities (25%), walkability from intersection density (20%), green space coverage (20%), and safety (10%, neutral placeholder pending CPS crime data). Individual priorities vary — use the rating breakdown to see which factors align with your needs.
Data transparency
Rentvoy's West Springs rating is deterministic — every figure on this page comes from the City of Calgary Open Data Portal and is recomputed when the underlying data refreshes. No subjective weighting is applied on top of the published formula.
Why densities, not counts: transit and amenity sub-scores divide by the area their walkshed actually covers. Counting alone would rank a community highly for being large — a 400 m walkshed around a 5 km² polygon sweeps up three times the bus stops of one around a 1.6 km² polygon, for exactly the same walk from any front door. The raw counts are still printed above, because they are the honest answer to "how many are there"; the score answers "how close together".
What's not in the score yet: The Calgary Police Service publishes community crime statistics, but the current-year table on the open data portal is access-restricted rather than public, so our safety sub-score holds a neutral 50 placeholder rather than depend on a feed we cannot re-read on every refresh. This is called out on every community page so readers can factor it in. When CPS publishes an open JSON or CSV feed we can re-read on every refresh, we'll replace the placeholder and regenerate every page in a single ingest pass.
What property value means here: The average assessment figure is an ownership-cost proxy, not rent. It's included as context because expensive-to-own neighborhoods typically rent higher, but actual rent in West Springs varies widely by building, unit size, and availability. Live listings will always reflect the real number.
