The atmosphere is vibrant, rich, and full of life. It’s not so much residential as a commercial area first and foremost with some apartments mixed in as well. The apartments in the commercial core feel close to the action and very much a part of the heart of Calgary. In one of the densest communities in all of Western Canada, the Downtown Commercial Core still feels like a person can have their own space, their own piece of the action. That’s what it feels like to live here.
Homes For Sale In Downtown Commercial
The community of the Downtown Commercial Core of Calgary is defined by where it is. Within the community is street after street of skyscrapers. Many of these buildings are among the tallest in Western Canada, and some of the country itself. These closely-packed buildings hold offices, businesses, and entire corporations. They also hold a significant portion of the population of Calgary. The community is sectioned off, sequestered by 3rd Ave to 9th Ave and 9th St SW to 3rd St SE. Within this section of Calgary are several homes in the Downtown Commercial Core.

Many of these apartments are small single-bedroom apartments, ideal for the young professional with a career in the downtown area. There are 8600 apartments in Calgary and just a handful of small townhomes on the outskirts of the core. 43% of these residents are first-generation Canadians, landed immigrants starting out a new life in Canada. Although the majority of the population are young and single, there are a few families who call this their home.
The Downtown Commercial Core does not have a community association due to its overwhelming business and commercial district. Many of the residents do take part in the many activities to be found in the downtown core, although these activities are designed to serve the entire city.
