The city of Calgary will wow you with its alluring beauty, finesse restaurants, nightlife, and picturesque scenery. nestled next to the Rocky Mountains and the Canadian Prairies, Calgary is home to Canada's most flamboyant party, the Calgary Stampede. To go along with the natural beauty and local activities Calgary is also home to some of Canadas biggest oil and gas companies. Calgary's economy is unsurprisingly vibrant, employment opportunities are aplenty, and there are a ton of things to do or see in and around the city. What's more - Calgary has one of the most diverse communities in Canada, with more than 120 spoken languages and a diverse population.

If you're looking for a postcard-perfect place to live, work or play in Alberta, look no further than Calgary. Here are some of the 7 most popular neighbourhoods worth renting in Calgary.
 

Crescent Heights Calgary

Hailed as one of the "old money" communities in the city, Crescent Heights neighbourhood has a unique blend of cliff-top estates, quaint small homes, and recently remodeled single-family dwellings. The area is far enough from downtown to be quiet and serene, but also close enough to offer breathtaking city views. Despite being only 15-min bus ride to downtown, you can expect to shell out an average of $1,390 for rent.
 

Huntington Hills Calgary

Composed chiefly of residential homes, Huntington Hills has become quite popular among families. The neighbourhood is dotted with fabulous townhomes and beautiful single-family residences with roomy backyards. Even better, the area is suitably close to the Calgary Airport. And with an average rental rate of $1,120, Huntington Hills is no shabby.
 

Brentwood Calgary

Nestled in the northwest part of Calgary, Brentwood is one of the most popular communities in the region - and for good reason. It's bordered by two roads in Calgary, Crowchild Trail, and Shaganappi Trail. Moreover, the neighborhood boasts of a vibrant shopping centre decorated with cafes, fancy store, restaurants, and whatnot.
