RICHMOND
Richmond: Green Space Living
Richmond offers Inner City tranquility centred on the Richmond Green golf course. Mature tree-lined streets, mid-century homes, and a unique dual access to both Marda Loop and 17th Avenue amenities make this one of Calgary's most quietly desirable Inner City SW neighbourhoods.
Where other inner city neighbourhoods trade on commercial energy, Richmond's appeal is its calm. The golf course provides a green heart to the community, and the surrounding streets feel distinctly residential despite their central location.

Detached-only March 2026 median of $1,098,750 ranked Richmond #2 most expensive in Calgary by detached median sold price (Daily Hive). The lower 12-month all-types median of $781,361 reflects the inclusion of condominiums and infill semi-detached product types in MyCalgary's data.
Richmond Green and Green Space
The Richmond Green golf course dominates the neighbourhood's geography, providing a generous green buffer that gives the community its park-like atmosphere. Beyond the golf course, the neighbourhood benefits from proximity to River Park and the Elbow River pathway system, with mature tree canopy throughout the residential streets adding to the natural character.
Housing Market
Richmond's housing stock is dominated by mid-century bungalows and two-storey homes on well-sized lots. The neighbourhood is experiencing a gradual transition as some original homes make way for modern infill development:
- Mid-Century Originals — 1950s–1970s bungalows and two-storeys on mature, landscaped lots.
- Modern Infills — Contemporary homes replacing original stock, bringing updated design to established streets.
- Renovation Opportunities — Solid original homes with significant potential for renovation on desirable lots.
Richmond offers relative value within the Inner City SW market, though pricing has risen steadily as buyers discover the neighbourhood's quiet appeal.

Community
The Richmond-Knob Hill Community Association supports neighbourhood life through events, advocacy, and local programming. Richmond's dual access to both 33rd Avenue (Marda Loop) and 17th Avenue commercial districts means residents enjoy the best of both corridors without the noise of living directly on either one.
