The Erin Woods housing market is currently contained within a small residential community. In 1961 it was annexed by the City of Calgary and 20 years later, in 1981, real estate development began. As of 2011, Erin Woods had a population of 6,794, although it is continuously growing.

The majority of Erin Woods homes are single-family houses but there are a small number of semi-detached, townhouses and condos available for rent and purchase. Some of the larger homes in the community are located closer to the railway tracks in the west, while smaller, starter homes are located in the eastern portion of the community. Approximately one kilometer northeast of the Erin Woods neighborhood you’ll find Elliston Park, which offers a 50-acre storm water lake.

In addition to educational and recreational opportunities, the homes here are especially convenient for those working in the Ogden and Foothills industrial areas. Home buyers working in these areas can enjoy a short commute while living in the less industrialized Erin Woods community. Along with access to these industrial areas, the neighbourhood also boasts direct and easy access to the city with several available transportation systems.
