#5 - Live a Walkable Lifestyle

The walkability offered by East Village condos in Calgary may be the best in the city. The CMLC® has masterfully designed the neighbourhood to include strategically placed retail shops and services along its streetscapes, increasing its vibrancy and functionality as a walkable area.

RiverWalk makes it easy to reach the Beltline and Stampede Grounds, as well as St. Patrick's Island, Prince's Island Park, Chinatown, and Eau Claire Market, the last of which is also undergoing its own redevelopment.

Many condos in East Village are just a block or two away from the C-Train Terminal, which goes west into the downtown commercial core through a free-fare zone.
