A separate community and a parcel-specific plan review
The City publishes a distinct Scarboro/Sunalta West profile. Begin with that boundary when locating the property; the name should not be substituted for the separate Scarboro community. The Census profile provides historical local context rather than current sold prices.
The Westbrook Communities plan covers the portions of Upper Scarboro/Sunalta West west of Crowchild Trail. Use the plan’s maps and current parcel research to establish which policy applies to the actual address. A broad community label is not enough to confirm the applicable policy or a proposed development.
Site levels and the room-to-yard connection
Walk through the approach, driveway, outdoor levels and the connection between main living rooms and usable yard space. Record privacy and the actual outlook rather than borrowing the appeal of an area description. Differences in grade and outdoor arrangement can make two similar-sized detached houses function differently.
For a seller, assemble measured above-grade space, improvement history and condition records before selecting comparables. Separate renovations from work a buyer would still need to complete. Use relevant detached sales and active detached alternatives, explaining where differences in site, layout and remaining work weaken the comparison.
Construction periods, neighbouring communities and park records
A closer look at Scarboro/Sunalta West’s detached stock and setting
Choose the evidence the house needs
The largest recorded construction group is Before 1960: 134 of 164 valid-year records (81.7%). Start with this era when organizing your questions, then check the individual property’s records.
For an older original building, distinguish retained structure from later additions. Check documented foundation, roof, electrical and plumbing work, and measure above-grade space separately from developed basement space.
The mean assessment is 16.6% above the median. The middle half of recorded assessments runs from $944,875 to $1,435,000. This describes an unadjusted housing-stock distribution; it does not assign a location premium or value a candidate home. Recorded lots have a 710.9 m² median. Check usable dimensions, grading, easements and parking against the candidate property’s survey and documents.
Community edges to investigate
The City polygons share a boundary segment with Shaganappi. Use the map to investigate a home near these edges; a shared polygon boundary does not establish a street connection, route or comparable-home relationship.
Named City park-site records
3 active named park-site polygons overlap the Scarboro/Sunalta West outline by at least 100 m². The names below are City dataset labels, which can include school grounds and shared facilities.

- PUMPHOUSE THEATRE · community park · City site SNA178

A polygon overlap is location evidence. It does not establish a public entrance, opening hours, admission, school designation or access rights. Check the site and its operator before planning an outing. City park visitor information.
Location join checked October 8, 2026. City Parks Sites and City community boundaries. Active named park sites exclude non-park and depot categories. Shared boundaries require at least 25 metres of exact boundary; this list is not exhaustive where polygons have gaps. Areas and lengths use NAD83 / UTM zone 11N.

The construction breakdown uses 164 records with valid recorded years. Land distributions use 164 positive recorded areas. The median is the midpoint; the middle 50% runs from the 25th to 75th percentile, using linear interpolation. It is not a confidence interval or a listing-price range.

Counts are matched records, not an independently deduplicated house count. Other housing classifications and vacant-land types are excluded. Assessments can reflect a property’s stage of completion; especially in developing areas, verify completion and current property records before comparing values.
