Thank you so much Ryan. This is the most comprehensive description I have seen on TH-cam on neighbourhoods in Calgary. You may not think it means much, but I want to encourage you that we appreciate it and the work that went into this. As a newcomer in the City, this will be a reference for neighbourhoods we'd desire to rent in and in the future, to buy in. Merci beaucoup.
Complete gold. I can see the effort you have put into this with maps, photos and videos to explain different locations. Great details. You have showcased your knowledge. Pls come up with same video for quadrants
Wow. Do you know the city or what? Thanks to this well planned and informative video I am feeling nostalgic for my old home town. Mission and Lower Mount Royal would be my first choice of neighborhoods to live. Thanks for passing this info along.
Big thank you for doing the video! Very helpful . As a non-Calgarian, I would have liked to hear some comments regarding flood risk for the various inner-city neighbourhoods.
That will be a good topic and I will add this to the list. I know there is a map somewhere showing in detail how far the 2013 flood waters went. I'll see if I can find it. I know the city and province are also working on measures to help mitigate it.
thank you! this is super helpful! would be interested to know more about the surrounding communities outside of the inner city. looking to move to Alberta in the summer.
As a mexican I want to work live in Alberta and I think this is a good fit for me maybe it could be a town ir small city like Lethbrige or Medicine hat so what do you think
very good information about the different neighborhoods of Calgary As a question, what can you recommend to some newcomers with a saving of 10k between the 3 to rent near downtown the 3 with open work permit
@@estefaniamendez-bd2mf Calgary went through a rough recession from 2015-2020 but ever since then I think our job market has been improving. Seems good to me at the moment!
Appreciate these videos Ryan! Living in Manitoba currently but looking at moving to Calgary in the future. Very easy way to learn a little bit about the areas, keep them coming!
Not being from Calgary, do I assume correctly that the prices of homes increase from the center towards north and south because the properties by definition come with expanded land area and are detached homes as opposed to either condos or detached homes toward the center of the city that have much less land area? Do you have another video that covers the northeast and southeast areas such as Radisson Heights, Auburn Bay, Arbour Lake, Bowness, Forest Lawn, Castle Ridge, etc.?
Generally speaking, the higher prices in Calgary are for detached properties in the inner city and they decrease as you move out from the core. Also to note is that the western part of Calgary is also more expensive compared to the eastern half. You can find expensive areas all throughout the city though, but on average the inner city and west are the pricer areas. I will make videos for all quadrants of the city but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
How do you think would it be dangerous to be the part of road movement on the bicycle if I would be living in Mount pleasant and often going to downtown and further?
There's actually a dedicated bike lane that goes down 10st street from the mount pleasant/capital hill areas so it's pretty safe. It also connects to other bike lanes downtown.
do you think i can live car free in downtown/beltline area? many people been saying you cant live without a car in calgary, but im not a big fan of owning a car.. Is C-train reliable transit system? my job will be in NE near C-train station. thinkning about commuting there from downtown. bad idea?
Yes if you're living in the Beltline and working somewhere with easy access to the ctrain you'll be able to live car free. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
You need to be aware that social disorder has risen dramatically in the last decade. I would not consider the transit system an acceptable solution for travel in Calgary. I recommend you get a full size 4 wheel drive truck. The roads are terrible in the winter. Some days are absolute glare ice conditions.
@@amaurisuarez5398 Yes I do prefer houses as well. There are detached homes in the inner city and you might look at the neighbourhoods of Bridgeland and Inglewood.
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country. To be fair, I randomly looked at videos from downtown Manchester and Concord in New Hampshire - Philadelphia - Detroit - Chicago - New York - Baltimore - Denver - Nashville, and Knoxville in the United States, and Toronto - Quebec - Montreal - Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver - Victoria - Ottawa and Thunder Bay in Canada. we should be fair. The bitter truth must be accepted. Without any exaggeration. Completely impartial. I have to say that I didn't see a single piece of garbage in any of the US videos to convince myself. Without exaggeration, in all Canadian cities, there must have been a piece of garbage on the ground less than every hundred meters. It must have an important reason. I do not know. But this is a bitter truth. You can try. This country should be brought closer to its exaggerated claim. the truth is bitter. Certainly, some Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia are much cleaner compared to Canada. Of course, we should not forget that Canada claims to be one of the 10 cleanest countries in the world. And Vancouver claims to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world. Please go to East Hastings or Victoria Drive or Commercial Drive or West Georgia or Broadway or Main Street and judge for yourself. I am 50 years old and have traveled to 26 countries. Canada is far from its claims. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022, I decided to move to the east because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception This country is disappointing. Please, Please, Please, don't immigrate to Canada you would regret it absolutely. this is not a developed country, Canada is a developing country with huge serious problems.

Hi Ryan. You did a great job by making such kind of informational video. It is a clear picture for a new homebuyer. Wish you all the best.
Thanks! This one took a lot of effort to make.
thank you! this is super helpful! would be interested to know more about the surrounding communities outside of the inner city. looking to move to Alberta in the summer.
Which community are you most interested in?
Great work my friend.
Thank you, please let me know if I can help.
As a mexican I want to work live in Alberta and I think this is a good fit for me maybe it could be a town ir small city like Lethbrige or Medicine hat so what do you think
There are lots of good options in Alberta but I think Calgary has the most potential in my opinion. Please let me know how I can help!
Very useful and informative, thank you, Ryan
Thanks!
very good information about the different neighborhoods of Calgary
As a question, what can you recommend to some newcomers with a saving of 10k between the 3 to rent near downtown the 3 with open work permit
I'm not sure if I totally understand the question...
Hello from Chile. Thanks for your videos . I am waiting my open work permit and I am thinking to live in Calgary.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
I read some bad comments about job in Calgary. Is it true that is difficult to find a job ?
@@estefaniamendez-bd2mf Calgary went through a rough recession from 2015-2020 but ever since then I think our job market has been improving. Seems good to me at the moment!
Thanks. I will trying, I think that Calgary is a really beautiful place
Nice video, can you please advise the best area to live near University of Calgary
All the areas around the university are pretty good. I would say Varsity, Brentwood, and University Heights are the best though.
Are you still looking for a place around the university?
What about Calgary SE?
I will make a video for each quadrant of the city over time. They do take awhile though and I just haven't gotten to it yet. Stay tuned...
Appreciate these videos Ryan! Living in Manitoba currently but looking at moving to Calgary in the future. Very easy way to learn a little bit about the areas, keep them coming!
Thanks, more on the way!
We just moved from Winnipeg and we love it so far. We are in Kingsland area
Thank you so much for this! It's great to put clear pictures to different areas on the map.
Thank you! It took awhile to make so I hope it's useful
What do you think about Fishers Creek area ?
I bought a condo there from Metroside as an investment. I live in GTA Toronto.
I think Fish Creek Park is fantastic! Which specific neighbourhood are you in?
@@ryangillardrealtor The area is Shawnee Slopes
@@michaelcole7359 Yeah that's a good area for sure. The overall Calgary condo market is doing really well at the moment as well.
what about areas near good schools (middle and high)
I will eventually make a video about the top schools in Calgary. Most of the private schools in Calgary are on the west side.
@@ryangillardrealtor ok and good public schools are where?
@@swankyshivy For public schools I'd say anywhere in the city except for some of the eastern areas like Forest Lawn and Erin Woods.

Great video. Thanks!

How do you think would it be dangerous to be the part of road movement on the bicycle

One certainly pays a premium to live in the Inner City !!!!
Can I find a cheap house near a Bow Valley College for renting?
Bow Valley College is downtown so all of the properties in this area are condos. How long of a commute are you ok with?
@@ryangillardrealtor I am planning to study there for two years but I have a small dog so I think a house is more convenient. Don’t you?
@@amaurisuarez5398 Yes I do prefer houses as well. There are detached homes in the inner city and you might look at the neighbourhoods of Bridgeland and Inglewood.
@@ryangillardrealtor do you help people with the settlement when they are looking for rent or only when they are potentials buyers? Once again thanks.
@@amaurisuarez5398 I just help people with buying and selling. For renting a good website is www.rentfaster.ca

I will make one for each region of the city at some point.
