Killarney/Glengarry is an established inner southwest Calgary community developed primarily in the 1950s and 1960s that has been experiencing one of the most consistent and active infill and gentrification cycles of any inner-city community. The combination of 17th Avenue access, inner SW location, and the original bungalow stock on inner-city lots has attracted a wave of renovation and infill activity that has transformed significant portions of the community.
