The northwest community of Bowness has a pretty fascinating history, being one of a few Calgary neighbourhoods that was originally a town unto itself before becoming amalgamated into the city proper. Indeed, there is evidence of native peoples inhabiting the Bowness area more than 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age.

In the early 1900s, after changing hands several times, Bowness was purchased by an English inventor who developed the land, put in a bridge, and arranged for transit service to Calgary in exchange for donating what is now known as Bowness park to the city. The community grew, slowly, until it became part of Calgary in the early 1960s.

Bowness is now a thriving and diverse community, home to more than 11,000 people with a median household income of just over $40,000. About a third of the residents live in condos or townhomes. Those who call Bowness home enjoy the many recreation opportunities available at the Bowness Community Hall and Sportsplex, which includes an ice rink, meeting rooms, and one of the largest halls in Calgary. Outdoors, there’s the aforementioned Bowness park and the Bowness Golf and Country Club.

The community is close to the mountains, but also adjacent to 16th Avenue for easy travel downtown, or connection to southern routes like Sarcee Trail.
