3 reasons why living in Mission, Calgary rules

Who wouldn’t enjoy its outstanding walkability, riverside location and numerous eateries, shops and services found along 4th Street SW, nearby on 17th Avenue SW and in the beltline?

Here are three reasons to consider living in Mission:

#1 River Access If you desire easy access to the river, living in Mission may be for you. The parks and pathways along the Elbow River are a renowned trait of Calgary’s downtown and inner city communities. Head north on the pathways and you’ll discover the Talisman Centre, one of Calgary’s best recreational centres, as well as the Stampede Grounds, Victoria Park, East Village, St. Patrick’s Island and the Calgary Zoo, Eau Claire and Princes Island Park. Heading south you’ll find Stanley Park, Sandy Beach Park, Altadore Park and eventually the Glenmore Reservoir. These parks and communities join Mission on the list of most vibrant areas of Calgary, all just a short walk away. Head to East Village for YYC Food Trucks, the Zoo, or Eau Claire Market for some cultural activities. What’s not to like about that? #2 WalkabilityAs mentioned, it takes anywhere from a few seconds to five minutes or so to reach the Elbow River pathways from any point in Mission. It also takes the same amount of time to reach the 4th Street SW BRZ, where you will find countless restaurants, shops and services. But these aren’t your ho-hum amenities by any means. Living in Mission means access to the best restaurants in Calgary, the most unique boutique shops, the most exceptional goods and services. The 4th Street BRZ is also host to annual cultural celebrations such as the Calgary Lilac Festival which sees more than 120,000 people on average every year. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the best up-and-coming home-grown musical talent while indulging in all that the 500 street vendors (and restaurants) have to offer.#3 Quality Condos Living in Mission means an awesome location, and the resulting high desirability has created lots of interest for residential developers. Today there are a number of new condominium developments that have recently been completed, are under construction or in the registration phase, like Tribeca by Bucci Developments, Mission 34 by Assured Communities, and District by Boulevard Investments.Between these new developments and a wide variety of existing ones, if you’re considering living in Mission then you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a property that suits your wants, needs and lifestyle to the fullest.
