By the numbers
Spruce Cliff 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 Spruce Cliff
Fun facts: one building, three groups — Spruce Cliff Centre houses the community association, Bow Cliff Seniors and the Calgary Lawn Bowling Club, which started in 1912, moved here in 2016 and has held Thanksgiving matches since the early 1920s. The Wildflower Arts Centre was the City’s first stand-alone arts centre, opened in 1978. St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church was built by volunteers on evenings and weekends over about three years. On the escarpment, some Douglas firs are centuries old — one of the most easterly stands in Canada — and a 1981 survey found more than 400 flowering plant species, including a rare bog orchid. About 28% of homes are in towers over five storeys, compared with 8% citywide.
Spruce Cliff sits on the Bow River escarpment in west-central Calgary, from Bow Trail north to the river, between 37/38 Street SW and Shaganappi Golf Course. The land was annexed in 1910 and the community was established in 1950. About three-quarters of homes are condos and apartments, with some older houses, townhomes and duplexes.
The Spruce Cliff Centre at 3375 Spruce Drive SW was built in 2016, and Spruce Cliff Park has sports fields, basketball courts and the Wildflower Arts Centre. Westbrook CTrain station is nearby, and Bow Trail runs straight downtown.
Things to do: art, dance, drama and ceramics classes at the Wildflower Arts Centre; drop-in lawn bowling, with a basics lesson for first-timers; the Douglas Fir Trail, reached from Cedar Crescent; birding at Lawrey Gardens on the river flats below; and basketball and the public art panels in Spruce Cliff Park.
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 3 km away.
