Moving in Millrise, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Millrise covers 1.8 km2 between 146 Avenue, Macleod Trail, Shawnessy Boulevard and James McKevitt Road, directly south of Fish Creek Provincial Park. The Fish Creek-Lacombe station at 14300 Shawnee Gate and its 1,130-stall park and ride sit on the Macleod side; residential streets are unmetered and the truck parks at the curb.
The homes and buildings here
The 2,565 households of 2021 were 65% single-detached, 4% semi-detached, 10% row houses and 20% apartments under five storeys. Some 37% of homes were built in the 1980s, 31% in the 1990s and 24% in the 2000s, so bungalows and two-storeys with front garages sit alongside three-storey condo buildings.
Who moves in Millrise
Millrise had 6,655 residents in 2021, 77% in owner households, with a median household income of $98,000. We move families between 1980s houses and a steady flow of first-time buyers and downsizers in the condo buildings near the station and along Millrise's Macleod Trail edge.
One tip for your Millrise move
Station traffic funnels onto James McKevitt Road and Shawnee Gate at rush hour, so we book Millrise moves after 9 a.m.; for condos, confirm whether your building has an elevator, because most here are walk-ups and the stair carry sets the crew size.
