Homes For Sale in Downtown West End
Set on the west side of the city centre, Downtown West End forms the final piece in the core of Calgary. It’s a developing community, seeing new apartments and residential buildings constructed every day. Roads are being improved, access is being created, and value is being added to this small section of Calgary’s core. The community is defined by 8th and 14th St SW and the Railway tracks and the Bow River. This is one of the smallest communities by size, but it represents a very dense population of people that live in this “vertical village”. Older buildings are being upgraded, renovated, or simply torn down to make way for new, modern developments.
2200 residents call Downtown West End their home. There are a range of apartment sizes in a number of buildings. Some of them are very modern, well-appointed homes, while others have a classic style and look. There are plans for improvement in the future, and Calgary hopes to recreate the success with the Downtown East Village on the west side. The majority of the population is young and without a family. Many residents are urban professionals working in the downtown core. 44% of the population is from an immigrant background, first-generation Canadians who have moved here to find work and opportunity. A very high percentage of the population has post-secondary degrees, working in white-collar professions by and large.
The Downtown West End Community Association exists to build better community in the residents here. They offer many unique opportunities that don’t happen in other communities around Calgary.
