By the numbers
Bankview at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.
The community
About Bankview
Fun fact: in 1882, William Nimmons bought this land from the Hudson’s Bay Company, ranched it and quarried sandstone here. His 1884 house still stands in the northeast corner of the community and is now a heritage building.
Bankview is an inner-city southwest neighbourhood on the hillside between 17 and 26 Avenue SW, from 14 to 19 Street. It’s mostly apartments and condos, many built in the 1970s (the typical home dates to 1978), with older houses and newer infill mixed in. It’s a short walk to the 17 Avenue shops and restaurants, and neighbours include Lower and Upper Mount Royal, South Calgary, Richmond, Scarboro and Sunalta.
The community association runs a hall, tennis and basketball courts, a tot playground, a gazebo and community garden plots. Buckmaster Park has a terrace with benches and loungers, and there’s a small neighbourhood off-leash area, open since 1988.
Things to do: Buckmaster Park, the neighbourhood’s main green corridor; tennis, pickleball and garden plots at the community association, running for 70 years; the annual Stampede BBQ; and, a short walk south, the South Calgary Outdoor Pool and the cSPACE Marda Loop arts hub.
Farmers’ market: Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue SW — Saturdays, 10 am–2 pm, late May to mid-October. Year-round, the closest is Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market (1320 5 Avenue NW), about 3 km away.
