About Calgary

Calgary, located in the south of Alberta, is the largest city in the province and the third largest population in Canada. Recognized as one of Canada’s most diverse cities, Calgary is a modern cosmopolitan centre that retains much of its traditional culture. As Canada's leading economic performer, Calgary is home to an array of industries, including energy, finance, manufacturing, transportation, technology, and film, and is a centre for country music and a scene for many other genres.

Downtown Calgary consists of five neighbourhoods. Eau Claire, north of downtown, is a mix of condos, shopping, restaurants, public plazas, urban parklands and the Festival District. The Downtown West End is a high density neighbourhood of condos and apartment buildings. The Downtown East Village is a residential neighbourhood in the River District that is being revitalized and redeveloped. The Downtown Commercial Core contains the Entertainment District, the Arts District, Government District, and the Stephen Avenue Retail Core. 17th Avenue provides a dense concentration of shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs and is the primary nightlife destination in Calgary. Other districts include Midtown, Connaught and Victoria Park. Calgary is a great place to live, work and play. It is a community rich in arts and culture, and is surrounded by rivers and mountains. Festivals and annual events like the Calgary Stampede, as well as professional baseball, lacrosse, hockey and football assure there is always somewhere to go. Extensive parks, sports fields and pathways will get you outdoors and the Devonian Garden, an indoor urban park with 20,000 plants and permanent local art exhibit provides the outdoors with indoor comfort.

The climate is influenced by the city’s high elevation and proximity to the Rocky Mountains. Long, cold, dry winters and warm, short summers are the norm. Annual Chinook winds raise January temperatures from the normal sub 0°C to 15°C in just a few hours and are a nice relief from winter cold.

Calgary is a vibrant vital city. If you want to know more about real estate in the area or find homes for sale, a good place to start is to see which homes are on the market. Customize your search for a new home in Calgary by using the form on this page.
