Homes for Sale in Marda Loop, Calgary 

The communities of Altadore and Garrison Woods is widely known as the Marda Loop Business Revitalization Zone retail area in Calgary. Marda Loop is comprised of these two areas, and has been named two of the most potential growth areas in Calgary. Altadore is a residential neighbourhood that is located in the inner-city southwest quadrant of Calgary. It is located beteen 14th Street and Crowchild Trial, and south of the South Calgary community.

Altadore was named one of Calgary’s best neighbourhoods in 2010 with its proximity to the River Park. Also, the Marda Loop Business Revitalization Zone has helped with this area’s potential. Marda Loop is one of the largest and busiest outdoor shopping areas in Calgary. It is also located along 33 and 24 avenues in the southwest.

Altadore was established in 1945 and it has an extensive redevelopment plan in place. The neighbourhood is experiencing a new face of many high-end, luxury semi-detached homes built in the last ten years. Garrison Woods on the other hand, has a more detailed history. When the military moved the Canadian Forces Base in 1998, more than 450 acres of land was left vacant. It was then split into three sections and Garrison Woods emerged from the east side of the section (across Crowchild trail).

The community has quickly developed to be characterized by diversity. The mixed-use and mixed-scale area contains many housing types, even refurbished military housing. It was intended to echo a 1920’s pedestrian inspired community. The suburban development has been incredibly successful due to the developer’s ability to incorporate quality public spaces in the higher density community.
