Moving in Britannia, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Britannia's streets curve along the ridge above the Elbow River, with Coronation Drive, Elizabeth Road and Edinburgh Boulevard forming the interior loop. Frontages are wide, often on lots over 7,000 square feet, so a truck can usually sit on the driveway or at the curb without blocking the road.
The homes and buildings here
Original late-1950s bungalows sit alongside full rebuilds, and the rebuilds are typically two storeys with a developed lower level, an attached double garage and far more square footage than the house they replaced. The condo and apartment buildings, about a fifth of dwellings, cluster around Britannia Plaza and Elbow Drive.
Who moves in Britannia
Public data shows a small, affluent community of a few hundred households, roughly 85 percent owner-occupied. Moves fall into two types: an established family arriving into a custom rebuild, often from another inner-city community, or a long-time owner leaving a bungalow for a condo at Britannia Plaza or nearby.
One tip for your Britannia move
Before a rebuild move, get the finish list from your builder or agent: stone floors, glass railings and built-in appliances each need a different protection approach. Then walk the driveway grade; some ridge lots drop toward the garage, and a loaded dolly on a wet slope is the hazard here.
