Choosing a Neighbourhood It is important that the neighbourhood you choose to live in is well suited to you and your family. Northwest Calgary A mixture of the old established areas and the newer move-up market, this area includes the Foothills Hospital and the University of Calgary. It affords easy access to Highway # 1, Canmore and Banff. Northeast Calgary This is a very affordable area of Calgary and is well suited to young families on lower incomes. Housing is less expensive and there are plenty of schools, playgrounds and parks. The airport is located in the northeast quadrant, as well as the Peter Lougheed Hospital. Southeast Calgary Close to the Bow in Inglewood, we find the original settlements surrounding Fort Calgary. Here you'll find a number of heritage homes that people have renovated. About twenty minutes south of downtown are the award winning lake districts of Calgary. Fish Creek Park, a unique city park, runs seven and a half miles across the south end of Calgary. It offers miles of walking, hiking and bike trails, playgrounds, picnic areas and its own Sikome Lake. Surrounding this are a number of newer districts in the middle to high income range. Southwest Calgary and Downtown From prestigious Mount Royal and Elbow Park, you can hop the bike paths leading south and follow Calgary's development from the inner core dating from the late 1800s, along the River Park valley, past the Elbow River to areas developed after the 1950s. Adding approximately 10 years per district, you finally arrive at Fish Creek Park and to those areas still in the development stage. Country Properties Both southwest and northwest of the city, going west towards the Foothills, there are small acreage developments of generally 2 acre lots available close to golf courses. Property Values By researching the selling prices of homes in the areas you are looking at, you may be able to predict future trends.
