Glendale Housing Market

Glendale is an established inner city community in Calgary established back in 1955. With close proximity to the downtown business core, Glendale homes for sale in Calgary range from old post-war bungalows to apartment buildings to new infills. Some homeowners have also fully renovated existing bungalows, creating unique neighbourhood streetscapes that almost any buyer could love.

Some Glendale homeowners have views of the mountains, while others enjoy views of the surrounding city. Several homes back out onto or face the pristine Optimist Park. The community’s overall atmosphere is relatively quiet given there aren’t any main throughways running through it save Sarcee Trail on its western border, and many families live in the area.

Glendale Calgary homes for sale are becoming more and more popular for their larger lots which are prime for redevelopment. Many urban professionals and their families consider the area an option due to the abundance of park space and the family orientation it is known for.
