Discover the History and Heart of Calgary’s Inner-City Communities
Calgary’s inner-city neighbourhoods are woven with stories, character, and a vibrant sense of place. From the leafy streets of Elbow Park to the creative energy of Inglewood, each community offers its own unique blend of history, amenities, and lifestyle. At Crown & Kingsley Real Estate, we’re passionate about these remarkable areas - and we specialize in helping you find your place in their rich tapestry.
Elbow Park, Roxboro & Rideau Park: Timeless Elegance by the River
Settled in the early 1900s, these communities are among Calgary’s oldest. Known for their tree-lined boulevards, heritage homes, and proximity to the Elbow River, they offer tranquility just minutes from downtown. Elbow Park School and Rideau Park School are central to family life, while parks and pathways invite outdoor adventures year-round.
Cliff Bungalow & Mission: Urban Living with Historic Flair
Cliff Bungalow and Mission blend history with a cosmopolitan vibe. Once the heart of Calgary’s French-speaking community, Mission’s roots date back to the late 1800s. Today, 4th Street SW bustles with cafes, shops, and festivals, while St. Mary’s High School and the scenic Elbow River pathways keep the area lively and connected.
Inglewood & Ramsay: Creative Spirit and Heritage Charm
Inglewood, Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood, was established in 1875 and is famous for its eclectic shops, live music, and arts scene. Ramsay, its neighbour, boasts a strong sense of community and a mix of historic homes and modern infill. Both offer easy access to the Bow River, the Calgary Zoo, and schools like Colonel Walker and Ramsay School.
Bankview & Scarboro: Elevated Living and Community Spirit
Perched on Calgary’s hillsides, Bankview and Scarboro offer stunning city views, diverse housing, and a welcoming atmosphere. Scarboro’s heritage homes and Bankview’s vibrant parks and tennis courts create a perfect blend of old and new. Schools such as Sunalta Elementary and Sacred Heart are nearby, while local parks and community associations keep residents connected.
