Crescent Heights, Calgary Rentals
Renting in Crescent Heights, Calgary
Crescent Heights sits on the escarpment directly north of downtown across the Bow River, and is best known for the skyline view from Crescent Road. It is one of Calgary's older inner-city communities, with mature trees, character homes and newer infills side by side, and the shops and restaurants of Centre Street and Edmonton Trail within walking distance. Renters get a genuinely central address without living in a tower.
