Life in Sunalta
Sunalta sits just west of downtown, between the Bow River and 17 Avenue SW, west of 14 Street. It was laid out as a residential community in 1909, and in the 1950s parts of it were rezoned for apartment walk-ups, which is why most homes here today are condos. About 84% of homes are in low-rise apartment buildings, with a handful of character houses and newer infills.
Sunalta station on the Blue Line opened in 2012 and puts downtown one stop away. 10 Avenue SW runs through the community, the 17th Avenue shops and restaurants are close, and the Bow River pathway and Shaw Millennium Park are nearby. Sunalta School serves elementary students.
Who Tends to Love It Here
Sunalta tends to suit first-time buyers looking for an affordable condo near downtown, people who want to live car-free by the CTrain, and investors looking at rental condos.
