West Hillhurst
Living in West Hillhurst
West Hillhurst is an inner-city community in northwest Calgary between 18 Street and 28 Street NW, with the Bow River and its pathways along its southern edge. Annexed in 1907, the community grew after 1945, when many 'Victory Homes' were built for returning Second World War veterans.
Today West Hillhurst is prized for its riverside setting, proximity to Kensington's shops and restaurants, and easy access to downtown, the Foothills Medical Centre and the University of Calgary. Original post-war homes sit beside a growing number of modern infills, many with city or river views.
