By the numbers
Cliff Bungalow 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 Cliff Bungalow
Fun facts: every June for 35 years, 4 Street has hosted the Lilac Festival, with more than 500 artisan vendors and 70 performances on six stages. Western Canada High School began in 1903 as a boys’ prep school — alumni include Lieutenant Governor Norman Kwong and singer Tate McRae, and future prime minister R. B. Bennett was one of its original investors. In 1915 William Reader planted a row of green ash trees along 5A Street, on what are now the school’s grounds. And 4 Street was once called “Broadway” — it boomed after a streetcar line arrived in 1909.
Cliff Bungalow is a small inner-city neighbourhood south of 17 Avenue SW, tucked between 4 Street and the escarpment above the Elbow River. It’s one of Calgary’s oldest areas, annexed between 1906 and 1912, and mixes Edwardian homes with walk-up apartments and condos. Fourth Street’s cafés, pubs and shops are its main street, and Mission, the Beltline and Mount Royal are right next door.
The escarpment is a highlight: a path and benches at Cliff Bungalow Park face the downtown skyline, and the Evamy Ridge off-leash area sits along the top. The community association, shared with Mission, has a hall and a community garden with raised beds below the cliff. Western Canada High School (IB and French Immersion) and the Montessori School of Calgary are inside the community.
Things to do: the Lilac Festival on 4 Street every June; more than 200 shops and restaurants along 4 Street SW; long-running Mission favourites like Mercato and Peasant Cheese next door; the hillside off-leash area on Cliff Street; and the Elbow River pathway and Mission’s historic walking route.
Nearest farmers’ market: Farmers & Makers Market at cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue SW — Saturdays, 10 am–2 pm, late May to mid-October — about 2.0 km away. Year-round, the closest is Crossroads Market (1235 26 Avenue SE), about 3 km away.
The past
History of Cliff Bungalow
Long before houses arrived, the sheltered escarpment along the community's west edge was used as a camping place by First Nations people, well into the 20th century.
In 1909–10 the Canadian Pacific Railway laid out the neighbourhood as an eastern extension of the Mount Royal garden suburb, with a design by the Olmsted landscape firm. The street along the edge of the escarpment was named Cliff Street. The western blocks follow curved garden-suburb lines, and the eastern blocks shift to the straight grid of neighbouring Mission.
Growth came quickly after the streetcar began running along 4th Street, then called Broadway, in 1909. Western Canada College planted its grounds in 1915, including a row of ash trees along what is now 5A Street. Holy Angels School followed in 1919 and Cliff Bungalow School in 1920. That 1920 school building still stands on Cliff Street, now home to a Montessori school and the community association.
