Life in Inglewood

Inglewood is ideal for buyers drawn to character and culture: century-old brick storefronts, antique shops, live music venues, and a walkable strip along 9th Avenue SE, backed by the Bow River pathway system, Pearce Estate Park, and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. Housing is a mix of original bungalows, character infill, and rowhouse-style townhomes, with detached homes forming the bulk of the market.

Who It's Right For

Buyers who want a distinct, walkable inner-city character neighbourhood rather than a high-rise, plus renovators and infill buyers drawn to Inglewood’s mix of heritage housing stock and redevelopment lots close to downtown and East Village.

  • Direct access to the Bow River pathway, Pearce Estate Park, and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary

  • Limited larger family-sized new-build inventory compared to suburban communities
  • Proximity to rail lines and industrial areas affects some pockets of the community
