About Britannia
Britannia is one of Calgary's most-recognized prestige communities — established in the 1950s on the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir, with mature trees, generous lots, and a streetscape that's been continuously evolving as original mid-century homes are replaced by substantial modern custom builds. Britannia Plaza (the small commercial centre at Elbow Drive and 49 Avenue SW) is the community's social anchor.
Housing is heavy on substantial detached estate homes — both 1950s-1960s originals still in family hands and modern custom builds. Lot sizes are generous (often 70-80' fronts), and many homes back onto Britannia Plaza's walking circle or the Elbow River pathway system. Walkout basements are common where the topography allows.
Elboya School (CBE) covers K-9 catchment, with Western Canada High School (CBE) handling public 10-12. Britannia Plaza's Sunterra Market, restaurants, and small retail provide walkable daily essentials. Glenmore Reservoir is the community's southern boundary, providing pathway and sailing access. Chinook Centre is a 3-minute drive south.
Pricing typically runs $1.5M-$3.5M+, with the largest custom builds and view homes occasionally crossing $5M. Buyer profile skews established Calgary families, multigenerational households, and out-of-city executives relocating in. Resale supply is famously tight — many homes change hands quietly through relationships. Compare with Mount Royal, Elbow Park, and Bel-Aire.
