I went to elementary school in Highwood. It was the closest French Emersion school to Hawkwood at the time.
The neighboorhood definitely has "lower income" areas. Highwood borders even more run down areas like Highland Park, but it also borders some really nice areas too.
Highwood seems very much like an area whose fate will depend on the fate of the city as a whole. If the city continues to prosper or there's another boom, an area like Highwood would seem like an ideal neighbourhood to continue improving. If things continue to stagnate in Calgary, the opposite could happen.
