Scarboro is an established inner southwest Calgary community developed in the late 1940s and 1950s. It occupies an inner SW position adjacent to 17th Avenue and has the settled, mature character of a community that has been continuously occupied for over 70 years. The combination of inner location and established character makes it a consistent consideration for inner SW buyers.
Who Lives Here
Long-term owners. Inner SW buyers who've identified Scarboro's location and bungalow stock as a value opportunity. Renovation-focused buyers attracted by the older housing stock in an inner SW setting.

Nick's Take
Scarboro is inner SW value with 17th Avenue walkability — the combination of inner location and walkable commercial access at accessible prices is the community's defining proposition. For buyers who want to be close to 17th Avenue in an established inner SW community, Scarboro is one of the more accessible options in the corridor.
