Why Inglewood Is Calgary’s Most Characterful Neighbourhood

September 16, 2026

Inglewood is often called Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood, and walking down 9th Avenue SE it’s easy to see why. Brick and sandstone storefronts from the early 1900s now house vintage shops, galleries, restaurants and some of the city’s best-loved live music venues.

Nature on your doorstep

The Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Pearce Estate Park bring river wildlife into the neighbourhood, and the pathway network connects you to downtown in minutes by bike.

Homes with a story

Inglewood buyers find everything from century-old cottages to modern infills and new mid-rise condos. If you’re considering an older home, budget for inspections that look closely at foundations, wiring and plumbing, and check for any heritage designation.
