Altadore
Living in Altadore
Altadore is one of Calgary's most in-demand inner-city communities, sitting just south of the Marda Loop shopping district and west of River Park and the Elbow River. It was annexed by the city in 1910 and grew mainly after the Second World War, when rows of bungalows were built on wide lots.
Today the community is best known for its tree-lined streets and its steady wave of modern infill homes, with new semi-detached and detached builds standing beside original post-war bungalows. Residents can walk to Marda Loop's restaurants, cafes and shops, reach downtown quickly via 14 Street SW and Crowchild Trail, and spend weekends on River Park's off-leash trails above the Elbow River.

- Marda Loop Communities Association outdoor pool, rinks and tennis courts
- Altadore School (K–6) and Dr. Oakley School within the community

New infill homes in Altadore
Altadore has been at the centre of Calgary's infill boom. Changes to the city's land-use rules allowed many original 50-foot lots to be redeveloped, and much of the community's 1950s housing has been replaced by new semi-detached homes, side-by-side infills and custom detached builds.
That makes Altadore one of the best places in Calgary to find a brand-new or nearly new home in an established neighbourhood. New infill listings often sell quickly, so buyers who want first look at upcoming and newly completed builds should set up early alerts.
