Richmond
Living in Richmond
Richmond is an inner-city community in southwest Calgary that sits on both sides of Crowchild Trail, south of 17 Avenue SW. The land was annexed by the city in 1907 and the community was established around 1950. It was home to the Alberta Children's Hospital until 2007.
Today Richmond is valued for its central location: minutes from downtown, next door to Marda Loop's shops and restaurants, and close to the 17 Avenue SW corridor. Its mix of original post-war homes and new infills offers a wide range of options at different price points.
- Next to the Marda Loop shopping district
- Close to 17 Ave SW shops and restaurants
- Richmond School within the community
- Quick access to downtown via Crowchild Trail
New infill homes in Richmond
Like neighbouring Altadore and Killarney/Glengarry, Richmond has seen many original homes replaced with semi-detached, side-by-side and detached infills. The community's area redevelopment plan guides where and how much new housing can be built.
Buyers can often find new infill homes in Richmond at prices a little below those closest to Marda Loop. Builders and owners of older homes should look closely at lot width and zoning, which strongly affect land value.
