Southwest Calgary offers natural beauty and lifestyle excellence in one of Canada’s most vibrant cities. It extends south from the Bow River downtown, and straddles the Elbow River and Glenmore Reservoir. A condo resident could enjoy a landscape of picturesque ravines, natural wetlands, the Rockies, or native aspen groves, blended with modern conveniences of grocery stores, banking, big box retailers, restaurants, boutique shops, and great recreation choices.

Good schools (including French Immersion), parks, riverside walking trails, bike trails, bars, restaurants and shopping malls define Southwest Calgary, as well as Heritage Park (Canada’s largest living historical village), museums, the Calgary Art Gallery and Mount Royal College. Well known Fish Creek offers miles of walking and riverfront picnicking, and Glenmore Reservoir provides sailing and boating opportunities.

Southwest Calgary has the largest selection of luxury real estate in the city, with $1-million-plus listings in more than half of its 80 neighborhoods. The quadrant embraces downtown Calgary; the wealthy sought-after communities of Mount Royal, Elbow Park, Britannia, and Bel Aire with their century homes; and extends over to Elbow Valley, high-end rural living in Bragg Creek, and the trendy areas of Marda Loop and Mission, and beyond.

In addition to recent revitalization plans spurring on new condo developments in Southwest Calgary, several older buildings are being renovated and transformed into high-end condo lofts. From starter units to estate properties, Southwest Calgary offers condo options in every price range.

Quiet and spacious, Aspen Woods is a developing neighborhood with quick and easy access to downtown Calgary. The area is comprised mainly of new upscale properties with high real estate values.

Bankview, an inner city neighborhood, is comprised of condos and other homes. Because it’s so close to downtown and the University of Calgary, Bankview is the perfect location for young professionals and university students.

Bridlewood is due north of the world-renowned Spruce Meadows equestrian facility. The area was designed to make maximum use of open green space, and Shawnessy Shopping Centre is nearby. Macleod Trail leads you downtown, and an LRT extension is in the works.

Cougar Ridge is nestled atop a ridge with scenic city and mountain views. Developed with plenty of green space and a pathway system, Cougar Ridge is close to Canada Olympic Park.

Discovery Ridge borders scenic open space, and houses several newer properties. Condo prices lean toward the high-mid range. With Griffith Woods Environmental Park occupying the south Discovery Ridge, the area won't become overdeveloped as it grows. Condo residents can travel to downtown Calgary and southern Alberta via Glenmore Trail.

Mount Royal remains one of Southwest Calgary’s most prestigious communities. It's located in the Elbow River Valley, yet within walking distance of downtown Calgary. Upper Mount Royal is associated with wealth. Lower Mount Royal is closely associated with the Beltline community and the mostly hip 20-somethings who live there.

Established in the early 1900s, Victoria Park became a "Beltline" community – one of several neighborhoods surrounding the downtown Calgary. Condo owners can take a leisurely stroll over to downtown Calgary and to popular restaurants, shops, and bars. Connaught, Lower Mount Royal, Mission and Erlton are also Beltline communities.

With panoramic views of the Foothills and Rocky Mountains, Springbank Hill is an environmentally aware community — to enhance the wildlife corridor running through the heavily treed ravine system, community ponds are engineered to filter storm water.
