Douglasdale was established in 1986 between the Bow River and Deerfoot Trail, and building moved north into Douglas Glen through the 1990s. The City of Calgary and CREB treat the two as one community, Douglasdale/Glen. Most homes are detached, with some semi-detached homes, townhouses and condos, set around a ridge above the river valley and the Eaglequest Douglasdale golf course.
