Community of Bowness, Calgary, Alberta

Bowness
One of the most attractive Calgary communities to live in

Description

Bowness is a community located in north west Calgary. Bounded by the Bow River to the north and east, Highway 1 (16th Avenue) to the south and Stoney Trail to the west, Bowness was once its own town that was separate from The City of Calgary. In 1964, the community was amalgamated and officially made part of Calgary.

Bowness is a popular infill community because of its relative affordability. The community is full of older homes being torn down to construct multiple buildings on the same plot of land and is popular for investors seeking large lots to convert to duplexes and fourplexes. Future development in the area will continue to make Bowness a top community for years to come. Just west of Bowness, is the Greenwich community which will include Calgary Farmer’s Market West. In addition, with the final leg of the Calgary Ring Road (Stoney Trail), Bowness easily connects north west with south west Calgary.

Bowness amenities include the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, Sandman Hotel, Denny’s, Starbucks, Wendy’s, Opa, Space Place Self Storage and Rona.
