Eau Claire Community Description

To get a sense of the true flavour of Calgary and to maintain close proximity to some of the city’s premiere events, there’s no neighborhood that can touch the location of Eau Claire.  Commonly recognized as one of the more popular areas within the entire city, Eau Claire is just north of the downtown centre and immediately south of the Bow River. Calgary’s Festival District is stationed here with its modernization and re-development commitments that stand in addition to the several riverside condominiums, shopping centres, restaurants, hotels, urban parkland, and a large public plaza. The neighborhood of Eau Claire was originally established in the late 1880s and now boasts a population of 1,800 residents with a median household income of approximately $80,000. The real estate available in the area is primarily condominiums and apartments – similar to a standard urban city atmosphere.

Eau Claire’s public school students attend Connaught/Kingsland Elementary, Mount Royal Junior High, and Western Canada Senior High School. Meanwhile Catholic school students are assigned to attend Sacred Heart Elementary, St. Monica or St. Michael Junior High, and St. Mary’s Senior High School. Due to their not being many school students found within the neighborhood, these schools are located somewhat at a distance though still nearby.
