See the yellow number 99 in this map? Nearly 6000 people live in this area.

Like Vista Heights to the north, This classic area offers great views of downtown and the Rockies and has 19th Street running through the neighbourhood to serve as the main traffic collector.

The Crossroads Community Association serves both these areas with a licensed hall and wheelchair access, featuring a lounge, kitchen stage meeting rooms and games room. Skating and Bingo are also available at this facility.

What about schools? In the public system, Mayland Heights School and Belfast School both have kids from kindergarten to grade 6. Grade 7 to 8 go to Colonel MacLeod School and 9s to Sir John Franklin School.

Senior high school kids travel to Crescent Heights High School, which is a bit to the west. In the Catholic system, the younger children, up to grade 6 start off at Holy Redeemer School, or St. Alphonsus or St Martha right up until grade 9. Older ones choose between St Francis High School or St. Mary's High School in the beltline.  A place of worship for this crowd is right in the neighbourhood, - Mary, Mother of the Redeemer on 14th Avenue.
