5 Reasons to Buy a Condo in East Village
#1 - Diversity of Real Estate
Of the thousands of condo and townhome units found in East Village, approximately the large majority of which are new construction (after 2012). Today, there are many new and resale purchasing opportunities at East Village's condominium buildings:
With so many projects to choose from, there's a condo in East Village that can fit nearly any buyer's wants, needs and lifestyle!
#2 – Revitalized St. Patrick’s Island
St. Patrick’s Island, a revitalized outdoor recreational gem, is much like our beloved Prince’s Island Park across from Eau Claire. A stylish bridge connects the Bow River pathways on Memorial Drive (north) and RiverWalk (south) to the island, where visitors can enjoy a full list of new amenities, including an outdoor amphitheatre, picnic groves, a river raft launch area, and paved pathways.
Easily access the Calgary Zoo from the east side of St. Patrick’s Island, while the west connects to downtown’s RiverWalk pathways extending south along the Elbow River, west to the Kensington District, and east to Inglewood.
#3 – Ultimate Master Plan
Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) – the developer of the area – has carefully articulated every last detail in the master plan to create unique streetscapes in East Village. The area’s amenities have been strategically placed to maximize convenience for residents, such as the urban Superstore on top of the Arris condos platform that allows locals to grab fresh food and drink at a whim.
East Village condos all have street-level amenities, giving the neighbourhood a Vancouver-like vibe with vibrant and eclectic streetscapes a short walk from the river and downtown business core.
#4 - In-Community Amenities
East Village real estate is in no short supply of day-to-day restaurants, shops, and services, all reachable within a few short minutes of walking from your condo tower’s front door.
Live just moments away on foot from places like the National Music Centre, New Central Public Library and St. Patrick’s Island. These three outstanding developments have played a key role in East Village’s revitalization:
-
- Shopping Centre: 188,000 square foot retail centre at Arris Platform including a 30,000 square foot Loblaws City Market
- Hotels: 315 room Hilton Hotel and 155 room Alt Hotel by Le Germain
- Simmons Building: Charbar / Sebastians Coffee Roasters / Sidewalk Citizen
#5 - Live a Walkable Lifestyle
The walkability offered by East Village condos in Calgary may just be the best in the city. The CMLC® has masterfully designed the neighbourhood to include strategically placed retail, shops and services along its streetscapes to increase 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 another real estate parcel that's overdue for a renovation (and is in the works).
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. This is ideal for downtown workers who won't have to pay for a monthly transit pass to get to and from work.
