About West Hillhurst

Established inner-city community known for tree-lined streets, river access, and walkable everyday life.

West Hillhurst sits along the north bank of the Bow River, walking distance to Kensington, Riley Park, and the Bow River pathway system. Lots run from narrow 25-foot infill widths to wider character properties. The community supports redevelopment with strong infrastructure, mature trees, and easy commute access to downtown and the U of C.
