Southview Real Estate — a small residential neighbourhood situated in the southeast quadrant of Calgary.
The Bow River borders the neighbourhood along its western border. This lovely neighbourhood was the final community to be developed within the Greater Forest Lawn Area. It was established in 1950 and is now represented by Ward 9. 36 Street SE bounds Southview on the East, 17 Avenue SE on the north, 26 Avenue SE o the south side.
Like many of the well-established and well-known surrounding neighbourhoods, Southview has the advantage of several parks and wide-open spaces. The surrounding area includes Dover, Forest Lawn, Albert Park, Radisson Heights, Forest Heights, Erin Woods, Mayland Heights, and Inglewood.
Major landmarks surround Southview, including the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, St. George Island, Calgary Zoo, and St. Patrick Island.
Southeast Calgary is well known for its award-winning designs and craftsmanship, thanks to its builders and developers. So first-time homebuyers have a wide choice of types of homes to choose from. This part of Calgary is recognized for its suburban lifestyle, where it is almost impossible to find any high-rise buildings. The highest apartment buildings are restricted to four stories in height.
