1. Chinatown is Calgary’s Asian heart. With its distinctive character and culture, this is the place where Asians head to when they are feeling nostalgic and want to get a glimpse of home. With its rich, varied Asian culture ‘references,’ a clear skew towards making it appear like the neighbourhood has been plucked from China and replaced here; this location has its own very unique appeal.

.One of the most mature, well-established neighbourhoods here, the Chinatown community is more than 100 years old. With this growth and ageing have come a number of advantages, including a well-established, structured development that belies the rather unconventional beginnings that the Chinese community had in Calgary at the outset.
Chinatown today is the largest Chinese community in Calgary in terms of size and boasts a substantial population as well. If you are looking to settle down in a place with several people with the same ethnic background as yours, a neighbourhood that is inclusive of all Asian cultures, this is just where you want to be.
A buzzing, very distinctive neighbourhood, China town is a big draw for Calgary residents for its authentic Asian restaurants, little shops selling Asian ware and the abundant cultural charm that the residents nurture and proudly flaunt.

Located right along Bow River, Chinatown has properties that offer a perfect scenic view of the waters. The riverfront apartments may be the more expensive ones, but the view does make it worthwhile.
Development in Chinatown is taking place at a fast clip, and the best thing about this is that the major construction activity is centred right on the riverfront. With condos coming up here, that have several features such as stores, fitness areas and so on, the choice that prospective homeowners have is much wider now.
Chinatown’s proximity to downtown is one of its major appeal factors. That’s understandable, given that Calgary residents often commute down to downtown for shopping, entertainment, work and much more. Proximity makes the commute more manageable and thus easier as well, especially if you have to do it daily.
Located as it is on the north side of Centre Street downtown Calgary and to the south of the Bow River, Chinatown is also close to Prince’s Island- another geographical advantage that makes it more appealing.
Easy access to Calgary International Airport makes the location a good spot for those who fly aboard frequently on work. After all, you do not want to commute for hours on end by road to get to the airport every time you have to fly out.
A unique story about the little community’s location makes it all the more interesting and exciting to be a part of Calgary’s Chinatown. Originally, Chinatown was located near Stephen Avenue, but a tragic fire moved its location to 10th Avenue S.W. When the CPR’s new route came up, and the Palliser Hotel, this community moved yet again to end up at its present-day location of Centre Street.
