Calgary City Centre Communities
Calgary city centre real estate is some of the most sought after in the metropolitan area. Downtown communities like East Village, Downtown West End and Eau Claire are where you'll find several upscale condo buildings with a mix of floor plans, price ranges and construction dates. Urban professionals living in downtown have convenient access to the +15 Indoor Walkway network that connects most skyscrapers, making it easy to get from point A to B without stepping outside.
Inner city communities like Altadore, Hillhurst and Crescent Heights, for example, are experiencing a transition from older post-war homes to brand new infill developments. These areas are highly sought after for the convenience they offer in terms nearby parks, restaurants, and other important day-to-day amenities.
Newer construction homes are found in almost all city centre neighbourhoods in the form of infills. However, the redevelopment of the Canadian Forces Base created three new communities with suburban-like lot sizes and features: Garrison Woods, Garrison Green and Currie Barracks. The last of the three currently has a grand mixed-use development plan in place which will introduce a mix of condos and townhomes among office and retail spaces.
