Homes for Sale in West Calgary

River valleys, the Blue Line CTrain along 17 Avenue SW, and a quick run onto the Trans-Canada toward the mountains.

Homes for sale in West Calgary stretch from established communities like Spruce Cliff, Wildwood, Glendale and Rosscarrock out to the newer hillside communities of West Springs, Aspen Woods, Springbank Hill and Cougar Ridge on the city's western edge. The zone reaches south to Lakeview, North Glenmore Park and Discovery Ridge on the Elbow River. Most addresses are SW. Homes range from 1950s bungalows to 1980s and 1990s two-storeys and newer estate-style and multi-family builds.

It's a great fit if you want a short drive downtown and an even shorter one onto the Trans-Canada toward the Rockies.
