Location

Established in the 1950s, homeowners have moved to take advantage of the great location of Richmond real estate by developing new inner city infills to live in and enjoy for years to come. As a result, the area has become an inner city community of choice for many urban professionals looking to live close to downtown while not too far from amenities.

Residents have ample access to nearby amenities along 33rd Avenue SW, 17th Avenue SW, and in the Marda Loop District which is home to dozens, if not hundreds of restaurants shops and services. Additionally, West Hills Shopping Centre is also a short drive away where you'll find a movie theatre, home department stores, banks and more.

Richmond homes for sale in Calgary also offer convenient access to the foothills and mountains to the west. Escape the city limits on a Friday afternoon without having to sit in traffic and be well on your way to enjoying the beautiful outdoor landscapes Alberta calls home.

Richmond Amenities

Apart from the Marda Loop District, strip malls along Richmond Road provide ample access to amenities such as GoodLife, London Drugs, restaurants and professional services.

Chinook Mall is just minutes away from the community after merging onto Glenmore Trail East from Crowchild Trail South. McLeod Trail is another main city route where you'll find amenities galore ranging from dining and clinics to auto-repair and banks.

Richmond also is home to an active community centre that provides a variety of different activities. An outdoor skating rink complements a well-strewn network of walking and biking paths that interconnect the community with the neighbouring areas such as Bankview, South Calgary and Garrison Woods.
