Neighbourhood Guide
Lower Mount Royal
City Centre, Calgary
Its tree-lined streets, mix of heritage homes and modern condos, and dynamic social scene make it a prime destination for young professionals, families, and those who want to experience the best of city living while enjoying a laid-back neighborhood vibe.
Located directly off of trendy 17th Ave, Lower Mount Royal is a haven for inner city dwellers wanting to be close to the action.
Originally part of Mount Royal, Lower Mount Royal is a relatively flat area home to higher-density housing than it's neighbour to the South. The community has experienced dramatic changes in the last twenty years.
Lower Mount Royal has a storied past, originally developed as an extension of the prestigious Mount Royal community, which was one of Calgary’s most elite neighborhoods in the early 1900s. While Upper Mount Royal retained its more traditional residential character, Lower Mount Royal began to develop as a more urban and accessible community. Many of the stately homes from the early 20th century still stand today, giving the area a rich architectural heritage.
As Calgary grew, Lower Mount Royal underwent significant changes, with apartment buildings and condominiums gradually replacing some of the older single-family homes. Today, the neighborhood offers a balanced mix of historical charm and modern urban development, making it one of the city’s most desirable places to live.
