Inglewood

Inglewood is widely considered Calgary’s oldest neighbourhood, settled near Fort Calgary in the 1870s and 1880s. Its main street, 9th Avenue SE, still has many original brick and sandstone buildings, now home to vintage shops, galleries, breweries and some of the city’s best live-music rooms.

What it’s like to live here

The Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Pearce Estate Park bring the river’s wildlife right into the neighbourhood, and the pathway system links you to downtown and beyond. Summer brings street festivals and a lively patio scene.
