Moving in Altadore, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Altadore is bounded by 33 Avenue SW, 14 Street SW, Crowchild Trail and 50 Avenue SW, with River Park along its east edge. The Marda Loop rebuild finished in late 2025 and added curb extensions on 33 and 34 Avenues, removing about 72 stalls, so we park on the numbered side streets and carry in.
The homes and buildings here
The 3,070 households of 2021 split 38% single-detached, 20% semi-detached, 8% row, 10% duplex flats and 24% apartments under five storeys. Some 30% of homes predate 1980 and 60% were built after 2000, so 1940s bungalows sit beside three-storey infill duplexes and new wood-frame condo buildings.
Who moves in Altadore
Altadore counted 7,290 residents in 2021, 68% of households owning, with a median household income of $153,000. Moves are mostly professionals trading up from a condo into a new semi-detached infill, plus estate clear-outs of original postwar bungalows sold for redevelopment.
One tip for your Altadore move
Marda Gras closes 33 Avenue on the second Sunday in August, and 22 Street is now one-way southbound at 33 Avenue, so give us the exact lane or driveway you want the truck at; infill duplexes have narrow front walks, so we run the load through the rear garage where one exists.
