Rideau Park Community Homes

Rideau Park is a peculiar inner-city community located in a bend of the Elbow River at the city centre zone of Calgary. It shares the serenity of this area, surrounded on three sides by the river, with the smaller neighborhood of Foxboro. For all intents and purposes, the latter is an annex to Rideau Park. As a matter of fact, only one alderman represents Rideau Park and Foxboro in the Calgary City Council. Both were designated as Calgary neighborhoods in 1967.

Established in 1911, Rideau came before its sister neighborhood which was founded in 1923. Whatever sibling rivalry that develops between the two communities can be doused readily by the many positives they share. Their combined area has a laid-back, suburban ambience that is rare in many inner-city neighborhoods. This enviable atmosphere owes much to the pair’s proximity to the Elbow River and Elbow Island Park, a lush forest hosting a myriad of plants, trees, and birds of varying species. Also lending a quaint allure to the locality are its old buildings whose architectural styles preserve those designs prevailing around the community's real estate.

Combined, the two neighborhoods exist among Calgary’s most exclusive communities. Of the two neighborhoods, Rideau Park has the bigger population with 651 residents as recorded in a 2006 head count. Roxboro residents numbered only 413 in that survey. Residential types markedly differ in the two neighborhoods. Nearly half of Rideau Park’s housing is accounted for by condos or apartments and 13 percent of all the residences are for rent. Roxboro, on the other hand, is exclusively composed of single-family homes.

Rideau Park Neighbourhood Amenities

Rideau Park and its sister neighborhood share the advantage of proximity to a myriad of local amenities, particularly those in the Calgary downtown, only two kilometers away. Close to the Rideau Park and Roxboro community, for instance, are the shops and restaurants at 4 Street and 17 Avenue, as well as the recreational facilities of the Talisman Centre.
