West Hillhurst
West Hillhurst is located in close proximity to Calgary’s downtown core. It borders the Bow River and is close to tons of necessary amenities and services. Many of the houses were built as “Victory Homes” for soldiers returning from World War II. A number of these buildings are still standing despite the fact that many were only intended to be temporary.

Conveniently located along the north bank of the Bow River, West Hillhurst residents have access to the Bow River system of parks and pathways – it has been named one of the “most walkable neighbourhoods in Calgary”. It is also close to both downtown and the trendy coffee shops and pubs in nearby Kensington.

- variety of classes and community events such as yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba
- programs for children and seniors
- tennis courts
- hockey and skating rink
- large playing fields for minor league sports such as soccer and football

- it also supports environmental initiatives such as community cleanup days.
