Crescent Heights Calgary Apartments for Rent

Neighbourhood Overview

Crescent Heights is a highly desirable inner-city community in north-central Calgary, situated on a ridge above the Bow River with commanding views south over the downtown skyline and river valley. The neighbourhood is predominantly residential with character homes and infill along the ridge, and offers excellent walkability to the Centre Street commercial corridor and to downtown via the Centre Street Bridge. The hilltop location means many properties have unobstructed downtown and mountain views that are rare at Crescent Heights price points. Memorial Drive and the Bow River pathway run along the community's southern boundary. One-bedrooms typically run $1,600–$2,200/month; two-bedrooms $2,100–$3,000/month. The combination of views, inner-city location, and relative affordability compared to neighbouring Hillhurst makes Crescent Heights one of Calgary's most quietly desirable rental communities. "The view from Crescent Heights is Calgary's best-kept secret. I can see the entire downtown skyline and the mountains from my living room for less than what people pay in Kensington. Once you live here you can't un-see it — you never want to move." — Sarah M., architect and Crescent Heights renter
