Condo owners living in Northwest Calgary are very likely to enjoy spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains, the Foothills, the Bow River valley, or downtown Calgary. Northwest Calgary starts on the Bow River Escarpment, and stretches north across some of the city's hilliest, most scenic terrain.
The quadrant is comprised of more than 60 communities — established neighborhoods, and newer areas with both starter homes and luxury real estate. Several mature areas along the Bow River have undergone immense re-development, with new infill houses and condo developments. The Foothills Hospital, new Children’s Hospital, the University of Calgary, and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) are in Northwest Calgary, as well as Nosehill Natural Environment Park which covers 11.27 km sq (4.35 square miles). Young professionals living in Northwest Calgary condos will find it convenient to live within walking distance of the downtown.
Much of Northwest Calgary luxury real estate has stunning city views and is close to large regional parks. More than half the communities have high-end properties in the $1-million-plus price range. Many of them date back to the early 20th century and feature classically-styled condos.
New communities to the West encompass Arbour Lake, Rocky Ridge, Royal Oak, Tuscany/Tuscarora, Valley Ridge, and Scenic Acres.
New neighborhoods to the North (West of Harvest Hills Blvd) include Citadel, The Hamptons, Hidden Valley / Woolliamsburgj, Country Hills / Panorama Hills / Cinnamon Hills, and Kincora/Evanston.
Established Northwest Calgary communities are Kensington Sunnyside Hillhurst, Rosedale / Crescent Heights, North Hill / Briar Hill / Hounsfield Heights, Parkdale / Point McKay / St Andrew Heights, Mount Pleasant / Rosemont / Tuxedo, University Heights / U of C / Banff Trail, Montgomery / Bowness, North Haven / Thornecliff / Highland Park / Greenview, Collingwood / Charleswood / Brentwood, Varsity / Varsity Acres / Varsity Estates, Huntington Hills / Beddington, Dalhousie / Edgemont, Ranchlands / Crowchild Ranch / Hawkwood, and Silver Springs.
Sitting on an escarpment, Briar Hill affords many condo residents panoramic views of downtown Calgary and the mountains.
Built after WWII, Parkdale is a mature inner city community. Townhouse and low-rise condo owners are close to hospitals, the University of Calgary, and can easily access downtown Calgary.
Located adjacent to Nose Hill, Edgemont is one of the largest neighborhoods in Calgary. Condo owners will find great schools and a range of recreational amenities including skating, tennis, and walking paths.
Royal Oak and Royal Oak Estates are planned communities where quiet country living just minutes from Calgary and unsurpassed views of both the mountains and the valley below make it desired real estate.
From St Andrews Heights, condo owners who are medical professionals and academics can walk to work at the Foothills Hospital, the Children's Hospital, and the University of Calgary. Most of the homes in this community were built in the mid-1950s, and some offer incredible views of the Bow River valley and city centre.
The community names of Varsity Acres, Varsity Village and Varsity Estates were a nod to nearby University of Calgary. Varsity Estates is built around the Silver Springs Golf course where condos generally have unobstructed views of the Rocky Mountains, the Bow River, and Canada Olympic Park.
