Altadore

Altadore, an established southwest Calgary inner-city community with historical roots dating to 1945, represents premium residential character integrated with the vibrant Marda Loop commercial district. Originally platted in 1945, Altadore experienced primary residential development during the post-World War II suburban expansion period when Calgary's population grew rapidly and demand for quality single-family neighborhoods intensified. The community's development timeline positions it within Calgary's mid-century suburban growth phase, creating distinctive housing stock and mature tree-lined streetscapes characteristic of that era. Altadore's defining characteristic is its direct integration with Marda Loop, the commercial district stretching along 33rd and 34th Avenues SW, creating exceptional walkable urban lifestyle with restaurant, retail, and service amenity concentration rare among Calgary residential neighborhoods. This Marda Loop proximity creates premium positioning for residents seeking inner-city convenience with neighborhood character, justifying Altadore's status as one of southwest Calgary's most desirable established communities.
