Point McKay Homes for Sale

Fun facts: there are no single-detached houses in Point McKay — homes are townhomes and condo towers. Pioneer Alfred McKay settled here in 1886 after working on CPR survey crews, and built his 1905 home on Point Drive from sandstone he quarried himself and hauled across the frozen Bow. Across the river, Lawrey Gardens is named for John Lawrey, who settled there in 1882 and grew vegetables for railway crews. And the Bow River pathway at the community’s edge runs about 48 km, from Valley Ridge to Fish Creek Park.

Point McKay is a small community on the north bank of the Bow River in northwest Calgary, between Bowness Road and the river, with Edworthy Park across the water. It was part of the Town of Montgomery until Calgary annexed it in 1963, and its homes were built from the 1960s to the 80s along treed lanes with hanging flower baskets.

A bridge crosses from the Bow River pathway to Edworthy Park. Buses run along Bowness Road, and Parkdale’s shops are a short walk east.

Things to do: a walk or ride on the Bow River pathway; Edworthy Park across the river, with playgrounds, picnic sites and off-leash areas; the Douglas-fir Trail in Edworthy Park; Lawrey Gardens, a natural area on the south bank; and Shouldice Park, a short trip west.

Nearest farmers’ market: Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers’ Market, 1320 5 Avenue NW — Wednesdays, 3–7 pm, year-round (outdoors late May to early October, then indoors) — about 4 km away.
