Southwest Calgary
Elevated hilltop living with panoramic city and mountain views, anchored by some of Calgary's best shopping.
Signal Hill Calgary was established in 1986 on an elevated plateau that gives it genuine panoramic views of both downtown and the Rocky Mountains, and the name itself reflects that height: the site was historically used for communication signals. During the First World War, the Canadian Armed Forces used part of the area for training, and regiments carved their identification numbers into the hillside at what's now Battalion Park.
The community includes the residential neighbourhoods of Sienna Hills and Signal Ridge, and it's bounded by 17th Avenue to the north, Sarcee Trail to the east, Glenmore Trail to the south, and Springbank Hill to the west.

Life in Signal Hill
The West LRT line is right on Signal Hill's doorstep, making the downtown commute genuinely easy without a car. Glenmore Trail and Sarcee Trail both border the community for anyone driving across the city.
Battalion Park School, Menno Simons Christian School, and Griffith Woods School all serve the community, giving families a real mix of public and independent options close to home.
Westhills Towne Centre anchors the community, a major retail complex with Safeway, Superstore, Staples, and Rona, alongside Richmond Square and West Market Square for smaller everyday needs like Sunterra Market and Second Cup.
Signal Hill has 20 green spaces woven through the community, and Battalion Park itself, overlooking Tsuu T'ina Nation and the Glenmore Reservoir, offers walking and hiking trails alongside more than 16,000 stones forming genuine WWI regiment numbers on the hillside.
Families and professionals who want elevated mountain and city views, buyers who value proximity to major shopping and the West LRT, and anyone who wants an established, connected west-side community.
Signal Hill runs a genuine range, from condos in the high $200,000s to detached homes averaging around $626,000, with premium properties in Upper Signal Hill, where median household income runs $200,000 to $400,000, commanding significantly more.
Given the community's elevation and layout, specific streets vary meaningfully in what they actually offer, some back onto ridges or greenspace with real views, others don't, so it's worth confirming exactly what a listing's location provides before assuming.
