Lakeview is a residential community in the southwestern quadrant of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Nestled between Glenmore Trail SW and Glenmore Reservoir, its boundaries stretch from Crowchild Trail SW to 37th Street SW, the western city limits at this point. The Tsuu T'ina Nation Indian reserve borders it to the west.

Residences south of 66th Avenue are part of a smaller development named "Lakeview Village", which features larger, more expensive homes.

History

The community was founded in 1962, six years after the city of Calgary annexed the land it was built on. The name "Lakeview" was chosen quite obviously for the view of Glenmore Reservoir its location afforded. Many of the original homes were built by Engineered Homes Ltd. of Calgary.

Ammenities

The Calgary Rowing Club and Calgary Canoe Club are located in the south of the community, adjacent to Glenmore Reservoir. Numerous hiking and cycling trails are maintained on the shores of the lake, between the Weaselhead flats and Glenmore Trail.

Demographics

In 2006, Lakeview had a population of 5,581, [Cite web|url= http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/bu/cns/community_social_statistics/ward_10_profile.pdf|title=Ward 10 Profile|author=City of Calgary| year= 2004|accessdate=2007-05-05] Residents in this community had a median household income of $64,535 in 2000, and there were 5.2% low income residents living in the neighborhood.Cite web|url= http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/bu/cns/community_social_statistics/ward_11_profile.pdf|title=Ward 11 Profile|author=City of Calgary| year= 2004| accessdate= 2007-05-07] The neighbourhood is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 11 Alderman Brian Pincott.cite web| url= http://www.calgaryarea.com/sw/lakeview/lakeview.htm | author = Federation of Calgary Communities | title = Community of Lakeview|accessdate = 2007-05-07]
