Ramsay Calgary Community Review and Home Search

Ramsay Calgary is an up and coming inner city community in the southeast quadrant. Founded in 1914, Ramsay is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Calgary.

Ramsay is a great area for families looking for starter homes in a South Calgary Inner City Community, where homes typically cost less in comparison to other inner city areas such as Hillhurst for example.

Today, the community is experiencing a revival through new infill home developments that are changing the face of Ramsay Calgary slowly but surely. Ramsay homes have great value considering their location and with the lower price points typically seen in the area they are a popular buy on today’s inner city market.

Location

[mappress mapid="19"]

Besides great value, Ramsay Calgary has a remarkable location, adjacent to the Calgary Stampede Grounds and Elbow River and is just a short walk away from the downtown business core.

Varying elevations gives some of its homes breathtaking views of downtown and surrounding areas in Calgary while residents have immediate access to the network of parks and pathways found along the Bow and Elbow Rivers.
