Queensland homes for sale represent some of Calgary's most affordable real estate. Residents of Queensland and Diamond Cove enjoy close proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park and all of its recreation opportunities, and there is a large off leash area for dogs. One often sees people fishing off the banks of the Bow River, just below Queensland, Diamond Cove, and by Douglasdale Estates. The Higgins bridge across the Bow River connects the three communities. The area of Queensland was annexed by the City in 1961. However, development did not begin until 1973. Single family residential homes are the predominant form of housing in the community, with some condominiums/townhouses located throughout the area. Diamond Cove is a newer community (1991) located on the north tip of Queensland by the Bow River and bounded on the west by Bow Bottom Trail, which provides direct access to major vehicle routes such as Deerfoot Trail and Anderson Road.
