Community boundaries · City of Calgary

The ridge at the community's south edge faces downtown, and that view is probably the first thing newcomers notice — the skyline close enough to feel connected, far enough to feel like its own place. Dog walkers head toward Rotary Park in the evenings; Lambda Oriental Foods Market handles the grocery run nearby. Bus routes cross the neighbourhood in several directions, making it one of the better-connected spots this close to the core. Crescent Heights High School grounds the community's north end.
