Backing onto River Park and a close walk to Sandy Beach, Altadore is a wonderful community for families, outdoor enthusiasts and dog lovers alike.

The area’s vibrant culture really spreads its wings every August with Marda Gras, a New Orleans-themed festival that draws 35,000 Calgarians annually.

The eclectic nature of the neighbourhood is reflected on the streets themselves, with multi-million-dollar infills going up alongside a wide array of character homes. But it’s not all about the trendy urban experience, either. The neighbourhood borders the Elbow River and encompasses Sandy Beach Park and River Park – both excellent spots for dog-walking, picnic lunches and a leisurely weekend lazy walks along the river.
