I recently bought a house in Garrison Green, which i would consider inner-city. 10 minute access to downtown, 17th Avenue and Chinook CEnter. I looked extensively in Altadore, Garrison Woods, Garrison Green, Killarney, South Calgary, and Parkhill at infills, semi-detached homes and detached homes. There is a lot available, and alot of room in these places for future infills. Especially in the Killarney and Altadore areas. There are lots of parks, lots of familys and young professionals. I know that money is an issue for some, but for us we had everything we needed within 5 or 10 minutes. We are close to downtown, but also work (approx 15 minutes). 15 Dollar Cab rides to the Saddledome and McMahon Stadium.
With the C-train going west I think we should see a similar revitalization of the Glamorgan, Westgate, Sprucecliff and more of Killarney.
