This Residential area was started in the late 1990s but mainly expanded after 2000, which extends from Lincoln Park in the south by the heliport to Hospital Place where numerous apartment-style condominium complexes are interspersed with hotels. Many of the condominiums that run alongside Bow Valley Trail are zoned as visitor accommodation, which means that while the units do generally allow for full ownership, owners are not meant to live in them year-round whether they are self-managed or put into a professionally managed rental pool.
While these types of rental properties may not be the most exciting, there are still homes designed specifically for living full time, which may be more affordable and fit the mountain lifestyle better than you think, and with easy access to the downtown core, and paths leading everywhere, and the 360-degree views of the bowl of peaks surrounding town, this could be the perfect first time home purchase or short/long term rental investment area!
