Three new townhome projects in the inner city

Calgary’s residential market is dynamic, as evidenced by how different sectors have responded during the economic downturn over the past three or four years. Today, statistics from the Calgary Real Estate Board show that many buyers are looking for more affordable homes as a result.

Several multi-family developers who focus on building in inner-city communities have responded to that demand by introducing new townhome projects. Townhouses are ideal in the sense that they don’t cost as much as an infill on a comparative basis, while having a good blend of positive attributes from both condo and single-family living.

Here are three new townhome projects you might be interested in if you’re currently looking for an inner-city townhome in Calgary.

1. Alvaro – Bridgeland
