West Hillhurst is one of Calgary’s most sought-after inner-city communities, and there is a significant amount of new infill development in the area. The neighbourhood provides residents with a high-quality inner-city lifestyle combined with convenient access to established amenities and services. There are still many older homes in West Hillhurst, but infills and other new residential properties are expected to develop in the future.
Downtown and the Bow River pathways are within walking distance, Kensington just to the east, North Hill Centre just to the north, and several nearby LRT stations. The University of Calgary, SAIT, the Alberta College of Art and Design, and Foothills Hospital are also in the area. There are several schools in the community and surrounding area for young families, and Queen Elizabeth Elementary, Junior High, and High Schools are nearby in neighbouring Hillhurst.
