Moving in Richmond, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Richmond sits on both sides of Crowchild Trail south of 17 Avenue SW, with the Marda Loop shops on 33 Avenue at its southern edge. Crowchild's 17 Avenue and 33 Avenue interchanges connect the two halves, and side streets have free curb parking that fills near the shops, so the truck takes the driveway.
The homes and buildings here
In 2021 the 2,360 households were 36% single-detached, 24% semi-detached, 4% row, 13% duplex flats and 23% apartments, including 5% in buildings of five or more storeys. Some 27% of homes predate 1961 and 45% were built after 2000, so infill duplexes are steadily replacing 1950s bungalows.
Who moves in Richmond
Richmond had 5,250 residents in 2021, 63% in owner households, with a median household income of $113,000. Most moves are professionals buying new semi-detached infills, renters leaving basement suites in the older houses, and estate clear-outs of bungalows sold to builders.
One tip for your Richmond move
Give us the side of Crowchild Trail you are on and the nearest cross street, because a truck that exits on the wrong side has to loop back through the 33 Avenue interchange; new duplexes here usually load through the lane garage, so clear the lane of parked cars on move day.
