As a result, living a walkable lifestyle in an Altadore home is more than possible! Taking a walk with the dog down to the park, grabbing a bite to eat or finding a quick ingredient at the grocery store are all doable within minutes on foot from your front door.

Meanwhile, getting to and from other parts of the city is made easy by nearby Crowchild Trail, Glenmore Trail and Macleod Trail. There's also bus routes that frequent 33rd Avenue SW and connect to downtown.

The Altadore housing market began after the First World War, but most of its original homes weren't constructed until the 1940s and 50s.

Established in 1945, many of these older homes have now been replaced with new infills.
