Don't get me wrong, if you like living in that kind of neighbourhood, lucky you, because Calgary has plenty to choose from. That kind of lifestyle is certainly not for me, though.
It's not houses looking different that gives the inner city character (ever been to London? - all the homes/flats in the center look the same). I think the attraction of the inner city is the ability to walk to the grocer, the restaurants, etc.
