If you're going to stay in Calgary longer than most of its visitors, try an extended stay suite hotel downtown. If you plan on becoming a permanent resident, it's best to check out what the neighbourhoods in this city look like.

In downtown Calgary you may choose to settle down in districts like the West End and the East Village. If you prefer something even busier, Eau Claire is filled with shops, restaurants, recreational facilities, and many other downtown comforts apart from residential areas, mostly condominiums.

Inglewood, originally the city's downtown area, is the oldest neighbourhood in Calgary. It's got an eclectic mix of art, fashion, and even antiques.

Mount Royal was built for Canadian Pacific Railway administrators and remains an elite housing area. Bridgeland has a particularly Italian feel. Crescent Heights boasts of a great view of Downtown and at the same time maintains its historic homes.
