Capitol Hill lies north of 16th Avenue N.W. between 10th
Street West and 19th Street West and is bordered on the north by Confederation
Park. Access to Downtown, which is less than 5 kilometres away, is provided by
either 10th Street or 14th Street N.W. The University of Calgary and the
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (S.A.I.T.) are within the immediate
vicinity of Capitol Hill. Although the number of school children has declined,
there is a high number of University and S.A.I.T. students who reside in the
area due to the proximity to those institutions. Most of the area was developed
in the 1950s, although there are homes dating back to the 1920s. Capitol Hill
has a strong component of single family dwelling units, some of which have been
converted to include basement suites.
