Calgary Neighbourhoods at a Glance

Outside of the Downtown core and Calgary’s West end, the city's neighbourhoods are arranged on a simple grid with Centre Street and Memorial Drive dividing it into four main quadrants — Northwest (NW), Northeast (NE), Southwest (SW), and Southeast (SE). Each quadrant has its own character, conveniences, and feel, from the busy downtown area to quiet, family-friendly suburbs. Avenue Living has quality rental apartments and townhomes in safe, welcoming communities across all four quadrants.

Downtown & Inner City : The heart of Calgary is a hub of entertainment, dining, and employment. Neighbourhoods like Beltline, Sunalta, Mission, and Bankview offer walkable access to restaurants, nightlife, and the downtown core.

Northwest (NW) Calgary : Known for its natural beauty and established communities with tree-lined streets, Calgary’s Northwest offers quick access to Nose Hill Park, the University of Calgary, and major employers. Neighbourhoods such as Varsity, Brentwood, and Tuxedo Park are popular with students, professionals, and families.

Northeast (NE) Calgary : The NE is a dynamic and diverse area with excellent access to Calgary International Airport, Deerfoot City, and major commuter routes. Known for its diversity and value, it’s a great choice for families. Neighbourhoods such as Marlborough and Rundle combine affordability with convenience.

Southwest (SW) Calgary : The SW is one of Calgary’s most sought-after areas, combining established charm with upscale amenities and family-oriented lifestyles.

Calgary’s well-connected roadways and LRT system make commuting simple.
