Life in Crescent Heights
Crescent Heights sits immediately north of downtown, between 4 Street NW, Edmonton Trail, 16 Avenue N and the Bow River. It was founded in the 1890s, became a village in 1908 and joined Calgary in 1911, so many streets mix early-1900s character homes with new infills and low-rise condos.
The bluff along its southern edge looks across the river to downtown, and Centre Street and 16 Avenue have shops and restaurants. The Green Line plans a 9 Avenue N station here once its northern section is built.
Who Tends to Love It Here
Crescent Heights tends to suit people who work downtown and want a short commute, buyers who want a character home or new infill close to the core, and first-time buyers and investors looking at condos.
Also close to downtown: Bridgeland/Riverside, Kensington and the Beltline. Buying a condo? Read my condo buyer’s guide first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crescent Heights
Have a question that isn’t here? Ask me and I’ll get back to you, usually the same day.
How old is Crescent Heights?
It was founded in the 1890s, incorporated as a village in 1908 and annexed by Calgary in 1911, making it one of the city’s oldest communities.
What do homes in Crescent Heights cost?
CREB®’s October 2026 benchmark prices for Crescent Heights are $746,200 for detached homes and $222,300 for apartment condos. I’m happy to pull recent sales for the homes you’re looking at.
Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market in Crescent Heights?
In October 2026, detached homes in the City Centre district had 3.52 months of supply and a 61.90% sales-to-new-listings ratio (CREB®). As a rough guide, under about 3 months of supply favours sellers, 3 to 4 months is balanced, and over about 4 months starts to favour buyers. Townhomes and condos can behave differently, so ask me for the numbers on the type of home you want.
Will Crescent Heights get a CTrain station?
The Green Line plans a 9 Avenue N station in Crescent Heights once its northern section is built. Until then, buses run along Centre Street.

Yes. It sits just across the Bow River from downtown, so many residents walk, bike or take a short bus ride to work.
