Marda Loop

Boutiques, brunch and modern infills.

Marda Loop is named for the Marda Theatre and the streetcar loop that once turned around here. Today the district, spanning parts of South Calgary, Altadore and Garrison Woods, is one of the city’s most popular inner-city shopping streets.

What it’s like to live here

Weekends are for brunch, boutiques and the summer Marda Gras street festival. The area’s parks and the nearby River Park off-leash area make it a favourite for families and dog owners alike.

Real estate snapshot

Marda Loop is infill country. Older bungalows on wide lots have been steadily replaced by contemporary detached and semi-detached homes, with townhomes and boutique condos closer to the main streets. Build quality varies, so an experienced eye on finishes, drainage and builder reputation matters.

Why buyers choose Marda Loop

  • Newer homes in an established neighbourhood
