Beltline

Calgary

Introduction

Located in the southwest quadrant of downtown Calgary, the Beltline is a unique area of the city. Highrise and walk-up residences mix with retail, restaurants and parks. Flush with greenspaces, a favourite is Central Memorial Park, a popular spot for weddings. The Beltline can be described as one of the most densely populated and vibrant communities in Calgary; full of families and young professionals.

Lifestyle

The Beltline’s lifestyle is definitely active and vibrant, as residents love to be in the mix of culture, food and style. All year round, people enjoy the outdoors in the Beltline parks such as Central Memorial Park. Patios are jam-packed in the summer and new restaurants are always opening. A great area for families, there is plenty of activities and resources for all ages.

The Vibe

The Beltline is a hip and trendy community busting at the seams with young families, professionals and long-time residents. An active lifestyle is favoured in this area, complete with plenty of parks to exercise and play in. It is rare for the Beltline to be quiet as it is constantly bustling with vibrant activity.

Meet the Neighbours

What a great neighbourhood for young families! With all the amenities and parks nearby, this is an ideal place for families who want to live the condo lifestyle. As you might imagine, it is already filled with lots of kids and dogs. However, if you are more into the adult lifestyle, don’t dismay – there are plenty of condo buildings that are adults-only.

In the Area

The Beltline area is slightly above average. Rents have gone up in recent years due to high demand and newer condo buildings introduced to the market. However, you can still find affordable accommodations to live in. This area also has both high-end eateries and lower-end coffee joints, making it a decent place to grab a bite to eat.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

One of the best ways to get around is by public transit. Thanks to the central location, you can get around quite easily. Residents also love to use Car2Go or ride their bikes. Pedestrians are also everywhere – it is a very walkable area of the city with such close access to downtown Calgary.

The Good, the Bad & the Rest

One of the best things about the Beltline is its easy access to the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre. With an Urgent Care admittance among many other clinics in the building, it is very helpful for residents of this area. Haultain Park, Central Memorial Park, Beaulieu Garden and others make this a friendly area to enjoy public greenspaces.

Dollars & Sense

The Beltline is a fantastic community if you like the hustle and bustle of downtown life. If you prefer something a little quieter, you may find the area too dense and bustling. With so many amenities and services, you really never need to leave the area – ever!
