Richmond is an established inner southwest Calgary community developed in the 1950s and 1960s that has been experiencing consistent infill and gentrification activity. The 17th Avenue SW adjacency and the inner SW location have made it one of the more active inner-city renovation and infill markets.

Nick's Take
Richmond is part of the inner SW gentrification corridor — the infill activity and 17th Avenue access tell the story. For buyers looking in the inner SW who want accessible entry points with consistent upside momentum, Richmond is worth evaluating alongside Killarney/Glengarry and South Calgary.
