COMMUNITIES
Calgary is divided into 4 geographic regions radiating out from the centre of the city. Avenues run east-west, and are numbered sequentially as they move outwards, north and south of Centre Avenue. Streets run north-south, and are numbered sequentially as they move outwards, east and west of Centre Street.
Each street address ends in NW, NE, SE or SW, and that tells you which quadrant of the city it's situated in.
To find out, roughly, what the cross street or cross avenue is, knock off the last two digits of the address. For example, the address of a downtown building called Bankers Hall is 888 - 3rd Street SW. If you knock the last two digits off 888, you're left with 8. That tells you that the nearest avenue that crosses 3rd Street is 8th Avenue.
For a building whose address was an Avenue, for example, Sun Life Plaza at 144 - 4th Avenue SW. Knock the last two digits off 144, and you're left with 1. That tells you the the closest cross street is 1st Street.
