Renfrew blends classic Calgary character with fresh, urban energy. Minutes from downtown via Edmonton Trail and 16 Avenue, the neighborhood offers ridge-top skyline views, leafy streets, and a mix of mid-century bungalows and sleek infills. Residents prize the short stroll to indie cafes and eateries, plus quick connections to nearby favorites like Bridgeland-Riverside, Crescent Heights, and Winston Heights-Mountview.
Active living is built into daily life here. The City’s Renfrew Aquatic & Recreation Centre anchors the area with a pool, fitness facilities, and programs for all ages, while the Renfrew Community Association hosts skating, soccer, and year-round events that keep neighbors connected. Weekend plans come easy: spark curiosity at the nearby TELUS Spark Science Centre, meet wildlife at the Calgary Zoo, or cycle the river pathways that thread into downtown and beyond.
Families appreciate the solid school options and plentiful playgrounds, ball diamonds, and open fields. Commuters enjoy reliable transit and bike-friendly routes, and food lovers have a direct line to the diverse dining scene along Edmonton Trail. Housing choices span renovated gems to new-build duplexes, giving first-time buyers and move-up families room to grow without losing that close-to-everything convenience.
