About Hillhurst

Hillhurst is one of inner-NW Calgary's most-walkable character communities — established in the 1900s along the north bank of the Bow River, with Kensington Road forming the commercial spine. The Kensington shopping and dining district is one of Calgary's most-visited urban retail strips, and Hillhurst residents essentially get to live above and around it.

Housing is predominantly 1900s-1930s character homes still in family hands, mid-century rebuilds, and a steady stream of substantial modern infills replacing tear-downs. Walk-up apartment buildings along the commercial corridor add density, and a growing condo supply near 10 Street NW provides lock-and-leave options for downsizers.

Hillhurst School (CBE) covers K-6 within the community, with Crescent Heights High School (CBE) handling public 10-12. The Kensington commercial strip provides essentially unlimited dining, retail, and entertainment within a 5-minute walk. The Sunnyside-Kensington LRT station and Peace Bridge put downtown 8 minutes away on foot.

Pricing typically runs $475K condos through $1.6M+ for character estate homes and modern infills, with the largest custom builds and view homes occasionally crossing $1.9M. Buyer profile skews young professionals, downtown workers, design-focused households, and a strong downsizer cohort from suburban detached. Compare with West Hillhurst, Sunnyside, and Briar Hill.

Frequently Asked

Hillhurst FAQs

What is Kensington and how does it relate to Hillhurst?

Kensington is the commercial-and-dining strip along Kensington Road NW that runs through Hillhurst — one of Calgary's most-visited urban retail districts. Some Calgarians use the names interchangeably, but Hillhurst is the residential community and Kensington is the commercial area within it. Hillhurst residents walk to Kensington for dining and retail.

Does Hillhurst have LRT access?

Yes — the Sunnyside-Kensington LRT station sits at the southern edge of Hillhurst and puts downtown 5 minutes away by train. The Peace Bridge is a similar 5-minute walk to downtown for pedestrians. The combination of LRT and pedestrian-bridge access makes Hillhurst exceptional for downtown commuters.

Why are Hillhurst homes so expensive?

Hillhurst combines inner-city walkability, top-rated public schools, river-pathway access, and Kensington's restaurant-and-retail strip in a way few other Calgary communities offer. Tight resale supply on the riverfront and prime view-lot streets pushes pricing — character infills routinely run $1.2M-$1.7M, with the largest custom builds occasionally crossing $1.9M.

What schools serve Hillhurst?

Hillhurst School (CBE) covers K-6 within the community, with Crescent Heights High School (CBE) handling public 10-12. The school's central location means most addresses are within walking distance for elementary-age children.
