By the numbers
Southview 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 Southview
Fun facts: Southview was laid out in 1950, and the City describes it as the last community developed in the Greater Forest Lawn area. Many lots are 120 feet deep, which the City calls "a rarity in Calgary." Before it was a neighbourhood, part of Southview was an army rifle range and a nine-hole golf club founded in 1927; when the army left the rifle range in 1930, the golf course expanded to 18 holes, and it was renamed Inglewood Golf Course in 1932. Many streets in the original section are named after trees, such as Ash, Aspen, Birch, Cottonwood and Redwood. Journey to Freedom Park honours the Vietnamese "boat people" and the Canadians who welcomed them; the local Vietnamese association raised more than $1 million to build it. Lookout points along the escarpment have views of the downtown skyline.
Southview is in SE Calgary, between 17 Avenue SE, 26 Avenue SE, 36 Street SE and the Bow River. Most homes date from the 1950s, set along curving streets.
The Southview Community Association runs a large hall, an outdoor rink, bingo and a seniors' program. MAX Purple stops at 28, 33 and 36 Street, and International Avenue's restaurants and shops line the northern edge.
Things to do: Bowl five-pin at Paradise Lanes. Take a food crawl along International Avenue. Skate on the community rink in winter. See the heritage mural at Unity Park.
Nearest farmers’ market: Crossroads Market, 1235 26 Avenue SE — Friday to Sunday, 9 am–5 pm, year-round, indoors (outdoor vendors in summer) — about 3 km away.
