Apartment-style condominiums are a small part of West Hillhurst, which was and still is mostly a ground-oriented community. What exists sits toward the busier edges rather than on the quiet interior streets, and it functions as the attainable entry into an address where the detached and infill market sets the tone. Frontier Kensington and Savoy are the buildings most often asked about. Condominium townhomes are listed separately. several apartment units are listed.
For a buyer whose priority is the location rather than the square footage, an apartment here buys the same walk to the 19 Street cafes, the same river pathways at the southern edge, the same Kensington district a walk east and the same seven-minute run downtown that the infill buyers are paying considerably more for. The hospitals and the university are minutes west, which matters to a steady share of the people who look here. Because the selection is narrow rather than deep, the practical approach is to decide which buildings you would actually live in before a unit appears, rather than trying to make that decision in the few days a good listing is available.
In a small condo market, patience does more for you than negotiation — a building you want may produce only a handful of listings in a year. Get the reserve fund study and the fee history, and establish exactly what the fee covers before comparing one building's fee against another's, because heat, water and parking are not handled the same way everywhere. Find out whether parking is titled or assigned and whether storage comes with the unit. Read the bylaws for pet, rental and short-term-rental restrictions. Buildings on the Memorial, Crowchild and Kensington Road edges carry more traffic noise than the interior — visit at rush hour, not only on a quiet weekend afternoon.
A family-oriented mix rather than a single dominant product: modern infills and semi-detached homes in volume, original character homes and bungalows still holding many blocks, and a smaller number of condos and townhomes toward the busier edges. The infill segment is one of the deepest in the city, so comparables are plentiful but vary by builder and vintage. Higher-end detached homes add custom finishing, larger lots, developed basements and garage upgrades.
Buildings and complexes here include Frontier Kensington (110 18A Street NW), Savoy (119 19 Street NW) and The Opal on Westmount Townhomes (95 23 Street NW). Each corporation runs its own finances, so two units at the same price can carry very differently.
The condominium stock is small and sits toward the busier edges rather than on the interior streets, so the community offers a narrow selection rather than a deep one. Decide which corporations you would live in before a listing appears. Establish what the fee covers, since heat, water and parking are handled differently building to building, and confirm whether parking is titled or assigned.
Close to the core, a stall can be titled, assigned or rented from the corporation, and some units have none at all. Which of those applies changes what you can sell later as much as what you can park today, so confirm the stall’s legal status on the title and the condominium plan rather than from the listing photos.
Read the reserve fund study, the financial statements, the last two years of board minutes, the bylaws and the insurance certificate. A low fee on a thin reserve is not a saving — it is a special assessment you have not received yet.
We keep a page for each of the 5 corporations we track here, with the building’s own listings, fees and what the documents tend to show. They are a better place to start than a unit listing, because the corporation is most of what you are buying. Each address is confirmed against the MLS® record for West Hillhurst rather than taken from a building label.
Nearby amenities include West Hillhurst Community Association outdoor pool and rink, the 19th Street NW cafe and restaurant pocket, Kensington shops and restaurants, a walk east and Helicopter Park. Access is via Memorial Drive — downtown in about seven minutes, Crowchild Trail and Kensington Road NW.
