If you've spent any time at all in Calgary, you've probably already been there, but it's time to take a closer look at Inglewood, one of Calgary's premier inner-city destinations. Just to the east of Calgary's downtown core, Inglewood residents are spoiled with the best of the best. Riverside living is what it's about here, and you won't find a better, more affordable, more amenity-packed location in all of Calgary.

One of the reasons that Inglewood has captivated Calgarians for so long is that it's been around for quite a while. This is Calgary's oldest neighbourhood, a place that's nearly ready to celebrate its 150th anniversary. You have this curious and uncommon sensation as you walk around this neighbourhood, a rich mixture of the historical landmarks alongside the modern living, fine arts and unique shopping experiences. 

Inglewood always feels like it's just more than just a community, it's a destination the rest of Calgary wants to visit and you just might get to live here. Life happens in Inglewood, not only will you find some of Calgary's most notable locations, like Spolumbo's, the Silk Road Spice Merchant and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, but there's, even more, to discover after the sun goes down. 

When the street lights turn on, that's when Inglewood comes alive with a music scene that's like nowhere else in the city. The Ironwood Stage & Grill and The Blues Can are popular live music venues, which could become your local hangout. Be sure to grab your yearly zoo passes because Calgary Zoo is right next door or if you're a little more adventurous, drop your kayak at Harvie Passage, a favourite spot for many kayakers to challenge the rapids in the city limits, or maybe take a stroll through Pearce Estate Park. 

Visit Fort Calgary or Deane House, two of Calgary's oldest sites that are still standing. There is a long list of things to do in Inglewood so don't worry about keeping yourself entertained. All of this is right next to downtown, making Inglewood a prime spot for anyone working in the core. This is just one reason people choose to live here.

The sheer convenience of being able to walk to the office, come home for lunch and never deal with traffic again. Stately classic homes retain their value, making this neighbourhood a favourite for real estate investors and homeowners alike. Spacious yards and lush parks make for family-friendly housing. The community works hard to stay connected with each other, posting barbecues and night market's a great way to meet some of your neighbours. 

Because of these reasons, demand is high so be sure to keep a sharp eye on your future home. But can you commute from Inglewood? It's laughably easy to get where you need to go around the city. Major roads through the community allow you to get to the airport in only 20 minutes or find your way out to the mountains in just over an hour. And with a soon-to-be-built C-Train station on the way, commuting will be the easiest part of your day, but why drive when you can walk?

Many Inglewood residents love the walkability of the neighbourhood. Everything you could need isn't far from your front door so you may not even need your car at all. Even a short stroll at night along the river is a great way to unwind in your vibrant, lovely neighbourhood.

Inglewood is for families, a great place to raise your kids, and safe and highly regarded schools in and around the community make the choice a no-brainer. Inglewood is for young adults, a dynamic energetic hotspot of shopping and arts that's just as simply unrivalled.

Inglewood is for the career-minded, a location that allows you to live close to work with the ability to come home and leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind you. Is this community for you? Saying yes to Inglewood could be one of the best decisions you could make.
