Calmar: New Homes Eight Minutes West of Leduc
Calmar is the closest small town to the southwest on the Highway 39 corridor. The Town says Leduc is about 8 minutes east, and the QE II is just beyond that, so a Calmar household can be at the Henday quickly. With 2,183 people (2021 Census) and new subdivisions, it is the most suburban option on our list.

A busy, firm market
58 homes sold in the 12 months to October 31 at a median of $452,963, and sellers received a median 99.0% of list, close to full price. Supply was 2.7 months. The Town reported 30 housing starts in 2024, so new homes with show homes compete with resales.

Our comparison point in the southwest is Desrochers, where detached homes sold at a median of $525,000 over the same 12 months. The gap is smaller than for other towns, which reflects Calmar's newer stock.
Main street on a high load route
Highway 39 is Calmar's main street and part of Alberta's High Load Corridor, so oversized loads pass through. The historic Main Street has murals and floral displays, and Calmar Days, Market on Main and Christmas in the Park fill the calendar.
Recreation
- Mike Karbonik Arena for minor hockey, figure skating and public skating, with the curling club next door.
- More than 10 km of paved trails and over 20 hectares of parkland.
- Wizard Lake and Pigeon Lake within easy reach.
Schools
Black Gold runs Calmar Elementary and Calmar Secondary in town. Health services are in Leduc.
New build or resale?
If you are comparing a Calmar new build with a resale, ask what the builder includes (landscaping, fencing, appliances) and check the warranty start date on any home built in the last few years.
