Originally the area now making up the North Glenmore Park housing market was a stone quarry. Later, towards 1930, the Glenmore Dam was built and this stayed in place right up until real estate development began in North Glenmore Park in 1959. The dam became a focal point for early residents of the area in the years up until the area was officially established.

The North Glenmore Park neighbourhood has a population of approximately 2,400 residents. Most live in single-family detached homes; many of these original properties were built in the 50’s and 60’s. New developments and refurbishments have been slow to occur, but there are some apartments and condominiums for sale in the area, amounting to about 8% of all the North Glenmore Park homes for sale. There is also a fair rental market in North Glenmore Park which accounts for about 20% of the total housing.
