Main Content

Bankview is an inner city community located adjacently south of the beltline. Often considered a part of the beltline area itself, Bankview Calgary is home to many condo developments of all shapes and sizes as well as some single-family homes. Established in 1908, Bankview is one of Calgary`s oldest neighbourhoods. In the 1950`s the city redesigned the community to allow for construction of multi-level apartment buildings.

Today, its varying elevations and multi-story complexes give some of its homes amazing views of downtown and its younger average age makes it a great place for condo investments in Calgary.
