What to watch for in Hillhurst-Sunnyside
Sunnyside sits on the Bow floodplain and was fully evacuated in June 2013. The City's Sunnyside flood barrier along Memorial Drive was operational for the 2026 flood season, and the City has studied groundwater seepage beneath it, so check a building's flood history and below-grade space. Older walk-ups vary widely in condition.
