Hillhurst blends heritage streetscapes with a city-forward lifestyle, placing you minutes from downtown Calgary and steps from the Bow River Pathway. On any given day, you’ll find locals lingering over coffee in the Kensington district, catching a film at the Plaza Theatre, or spreading a blanket at Riley Park’s sprawling lawns and playgrounds. The year-round Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association farmers’ market adds fresh produce, artisan goods, and neighborly buzz to weekly routines.
Commuting is refreshingly simple. The CTrain’s Sunnyside and SAIT/Jubilee stations are close at hand, with schedules and route planning via Calgary Transit. Education options are a major draw: Hillhurst School serves younger learners, while Queen Elizabeth Junior/Senior High supports grades 7–12; post-secondary pathways are right next door at SAIT, and big-stage performances are moments away at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
Housing ranges from lovingly preserved character homes to sleek infills and well-managed condos, offering choices for first-time buyers, growing families, and right-sizers alike. Weekend wanderers can stroll to neighboring Sunnyside, sample new eateries in Bridgeland, or cycle through tree-lined streets toward West Hillhurst. With daily conveniences, excellent schools, and easy mobility, Hillhurst makes urban living feel effortless yet personable.
