Homes For Sale in ThorncliffeÂ
Thorncliffe is one of Calgary’s oldest north-western communities, a neighbourhood that transitions from inner city to suburban living. The lifestyle is relaxed and safe, a great place to raise a family. The borders of this community are formed by McKnight Blvd, 64th Ave NE, 14th St NW and Deerfoot Trail. With many parks and paths, Thorncliffe is a community that feels spacious and open.
The people of Thorncliffe form a unique demographic not found anywhere else in the city. Just fewer than 9000 people live here in their homes and apartments. Just over half of the population live in single-family houses and the rest are split between low-rise apartment buildings, attached townhomes, duplexes, and even a few converted basement and garage suites. Over one-quarter of the neighbourhood claims an immigrant background, first-generation Canadians who moved here in their lifetime. The average income is lower than Calgary’s standard, and the education level is slightly lower as well. Over 20% of the population don’t hold a high school diploma. The average age reflects the neighbourhood, more mature than surrounding communities. Over half of the population have lived here for over 5 years, a good sign that Thorncliffe has a reputation that keeps people living here long-term.
The Thorncliffe Greenview Community Association covers the 9000 residents living in this area. They have a facility and hall that they manage and rent out to members of the community. It has an ice rink, several rooms in which they offer classes, community bingo, and hold events like the yearly Stampede Breakfast.
