About West Hillhurst
West Hillhurst sits between Hillhurst and Bowness, with the Bow River as the southern boundary and 19 Street NW running through the middle. The community shares much of Hillhurst's character feel — established in the 1900s through 1920s, walkable streets, mature trees — but with slightly larger lots and a quieter residential feel.
Housing types are deliberately varied: 1900s-1920s character bungalows still in family hands, mid-century rebuilds, modern detached infills replacing tear-downs, and a growing townhome supply near the commercial corridors. The community's riverfront streets along Memorial Drive command meaningful premiums on resale.
West Hillhurst School (CBE) handles K-6 within the community, with Crescent Heights High School (CBE) as the public 10-12 catchment. The Kensington commercial strip is a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk east, and Memorial Drive provides direct access to downtown (10-minute drive) without using the major arteries.
Pricing typically runs $500K condos through $1.7M+ for character estate homes and riverfront infills, with the largest custom builds occasionally crossing $2M. Buyer profile skews young professional couples, growing families upgrading from condos, and design-focused downsizers from suburban detached living. Compare with Hillhurst, Parkdale, and Montgomery.
