The development of the Kelvin Grove real estate market was conceived as an inclusive community that could offer homes to families from all walks of life. This meant affordable apartments side by side with large detached homes and the odd ranch thrown in for good measure. Since its early days in the 1960’s, Kelvin Grove has grown into a thriving yet peaceful residential area that offers a balanced mix of housing together in harmony. It is perfectly located for those working in the city, and is popular amongst young professionals as well as families.

The majority of Kelvin Grove homes (around 60%) are single-family detached homes. If you are looking for a condo, an apartment, semi-detached or a townhome they are also scattered throughout the community. Additionally, there are a number of ranch-style homes available with sizeable lots.

The community of Kelvin Grove is ideally located for home buyers who love spending time in the great outdoors. It is right beside Glenmore Reservoir and Heritage Park while Weaselhead Flats and their canoe tours are always a big hit. These areas encourage residents to make use of the many hiking trails that traverse the parks and there are plenty of areas for picnics and other amenities for fun days out.

Sports enthusiasts are also looked after in this neighbourhood with basketball courts, tennis courts, soccer pitches and even ice rinks in the area. For those looking to head into Calgary’s downtown area, it is just a short drive or a quick ride away on public transportation. It is no surprise that Kelvin Grove continues to be one of Calgary’s most popular and quiet residential areas. Call today to arrange showings of Kelvin Grove homes currently on the market.
