Bridgeland Housing Market

Altogether, Bridgeland is home to roughly 6,350 people according to the City of Calgary’s latest census data, a figure that is growing as more multi-family projects like the Radius or Era condos are completed. The housing market is in continual development of older construction properties which are either redeveloped into new infills or multi-family projects.

While all new builds in the area are high-end, a limited number of ridge walk-out properties are found along the north and east escarpments. These multi-million-dollar homes offer some of the best views of downtown Calgary, providing excellent vantage points for annual festivities like the Stampede and New Year's Eve fireworks.

You'll find most multi-family projects closer to the main strips of 1st Avenue NE and 9th Street NE. Radius, Pontefino I & II, Bridgeland Crossings (above), The Olive, and several rental buildings like Dominion and Steps are all found near these main streets, making it easy for downtown commuters to come and go from the neighbourhood.

Bridgeland Location

Choosing to live in Bridgeland comes with many benefits, including convenient access to central city routes such as Edmonton Trail NE, Centre Street N, Memorial Drive NE and 16th Avenue N. Whether you’re looking to go downtown, head to Chinook Mall, or perhaps visit Canada Olympic Park, these main throughways provide excellent connectivity to all parts of the city.

But where Bridgeland real estate shines is the walkability of the community. Connected to the Bow River pathways via a “bridge” over Memorial Drive, residents can easily walk, run, or bike down to St. Patrick’s Island, the Calgary Zoo, Inglewood, Chinatown, Eau Claire, East Village, and other nearby destinations with ease. The neighbourhood is ideal for downtown workers as you can skip the downtown traffic rush hour altogether by simply riding your bike to and from the office.

Murdoch Park, a focal point of the community, is an expansive green space where you’ll find families, pet owners, and children enjoying the outdoors, especially in the spring and summer. This park is where you’ll find the active Bridgeland/Riverside Community Association, which hosts community events, farmers markets, and even room rentals for birthday parties and other gatherings of the sort.

All in all, Bridgeland homes for sale in Calgary are highly sought after because this community has it all. From amenities to playgrounds to a tight-knit feel, this family-oriented neighbourhood is one of the best living destinations in the city.
