Now an inner-city housing market located in southwest Calgary, Cliff Bungalow was originally a community meant to house Canadian Pacific Rail employees in the 1870’s. It was annexed to the City of Calgary in 1906 and development began in 1907. Cliff Bungalow has become a beautiful neighbourhood that balances the convenience of living downtown with the benefits of an outdoor lifestyle.

The small community of Cliff Bungalow features character homes from the 1900’s along with modern condominiums and apartments. As the community has grown, multi-family housing has become more popular in the area. Due to its close proximity to both commercial districts and outdoor amenities, residents often park their vehicles and walk to their destinations.

Easy access to downtown Calgary is provided by nearby Elbow Drive, which lies adjacent to the neighbourhood. Shopping, dining, and entertainment can be found all the way down 17 Avenue and into the city’s core, which is one of the reasons that this community is so popular with home buyers.

For those looking for amenities with a slower pace, Cliff Bungalow homes for sale are close to Lindsay Park and many beautiful river pathways. This small community is also home to the bustling 4 Street commercial district as well as the vibrant 17 Avenue. In addition, the community is served by the Cliff Bungalow-Mission Community Association, which works hard to guide the development of the area to ensure that it remains a low-density area. This is done by restricting the construction of buildings that are over 3 stories tall.

The Cliff Bungalow-Mission Community Association is also responsible for the creation of the 4 Street Lilac Festival. This festival has grown to become Calgary’s largest street festival. This inner-city neighbourhood has grown from its roots as one that provided housing for Canadian Pacific Rail employees to a beautiful and vibrant community that combines the convenience of living in downtown Calgary with the benefits of an outdoor lifestyle.

Cliff Bungalow real estate is served by several different schools that include St. Monica Elementary and Junior High School, Western Canada Senior High School and St. Mary’s Senior High School.
