By the numbers
Bridgeland/Riverside 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.

About Bridgeland/Riverside
Fun facts: the name “Bridgeland” comes from the Dominion Bridge Company, which once operated nearby. In the 1880s Riverside was called “Germantown,” and lower Bridgeland was later nicknamed “Little Italy.” The Calgary General Hospital stood here from 1910 until it closed in 1997.
Bridgeland/Riverside is an inner-city community just across the Bow River from downtown and East Village, built on a hillside that faces the skyline. It mixes early-1900s houses with newer condos and townhomes (the typical home dates to 2008), much of it at The Bridges, built on the old Calgary General Hospital site. First Avenue NE is the main street for cafés and restaurants, and the Bridgeland/Memorial CTrain station is at the bottom of the hill.
The escarpment is a highlight: pathways, stairs and lookouts along the top give wide views of downtown, with Murdoch Park, Tyndale Park and the McDougall Slope and Tom Campbell’s Hill off-leash areas. Riverside School (K–9), Delta West Academy and Calgary Classical Academy are inside the community, and the community association has a hall, patio and rooftop garden.
Things to do: trails and the downtown view from Tom Campbell’s Hill; Murdoch Park, with its Calgary General Hospital memorial wall; the Calgary Zoo and TELUS Spark Science Centre next door; and the community association’s weekly Bridgeland Walks, Trunk or Treat and Movie Night in the Park.
Farmers’ market: Bridgeland-Riverside Farmers’ Market, 917 Centre Avenue NE — Thursdays, 3:30–7:30 pm, mid-June to early October. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 2 km away.
