Cliff Bungalow Neighbourhood in City Centre Calgary

Cliff Bungalow-Mission is a community that has gone through a number of transformations over the years. Before Cliff Bungalow (previously named Broadway) and Mission were joined together in 1990, they were two separate neighbourhoods in the southwest quadrant of Calgary.

Mission, in particular, is the oldest, being founded in 1975 by Charles and Edward Rouleau, who named it "Rouleauville" after them. Cliff Bungalow was established a short time later in 1883 and was controlled by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Cliff Bungalow wasn't annexed by the city until 1906 when it was subdivided into residential communities. Mission followed when it was annexed a year later in 1907. Fast forward to today, and Cliff Bungalow-Mission is a community that has continued to grow. This is thanks, in part, to the thriving 4th Street Commercial District, but the excellent location cannot be overlooked.

This community slopes up Mount Royal and along 17th Avenue SW to offer residents incredible convenience without being in the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.

Cliff Bungalow Amenities and Highlights

One of the most enjoyable parts of this friendly community is the west side of Fourth Street SW. This has a large selection of shops and restaurants for visitors to enjoy, making it a popular spot for people on the weekends and at night.

There are also specialty shops here, such as French bakeries and eateries. For those who want to take time for history, the Lord Denning House is located just off of Fourth Street. This is a 3-storey building that pays tribute to this famous British Judge.

Residents will also find that there are a number of grocery and convenience stores sprinkled throughout the community to make running errands easy.

For those who need schooling, there is a historic elementary school, preschool, and high school within the community itself. There are also many schools within the surrounding communities.

Cliff Bungalow Recreation

Lindsay Park and Bow River Park are some of the best recreational options nearby. These feature beautiful views of the river, exercise paths, picnicking areas, playgrounds, and even yearly events such as jazz concerts in the park.

There's also a community garden on 25th Ave where residents can enjoy growing some of their favourite veggies and plants while meeting their neighbours. Earl Grey Park is another great option for outside recreation, as it's just a couple of minutes southwest of the community.
