Legacy is one of Calgary's newest deep-south communities. Homebuilding began in 2011 and continues today. By the 2021 Census, more than two-thirds of its homes had been built since 2016. It sits at the southern edge of the city, bounded by Macleod Trail to the west, 210 Avenue SE to the north, Pine Creek to the south, and a ridge to the east.
It is a young, family-heavy community. In 2021, nearly one in four residents was under 15, compared with fewer than one in five across Calgary. Legacy has added many homes since, so the 2021 Census figures on this page describe an earlier, smaller Legacy. Updated population counts are due in February 2027.
