‘Tis the season to be jolly and although many Calgarians would argue that the best place to spend these wintery months is on the slopes, we disagree! Despite the cold weather and gloomy skies, Calgary’s inner city seems to come alive with a certain seasonal magic you just can’t find outside of downtown. From Christmas shopping along Stephen Avenue and skating at Olympic Plaza to evening eggnogs at the Ship And Anchor, there is no place like the inner city for the holidays.
If you are looking to buy or sell in the dynamic, diverse inner city of Calgary, The Eklund Group is an expert inner-city real estate team. Contact our Realtors® for skilled and knowledgeable insight into Calgary’s unique living opportunities in the heart of the city. (403) 863-7434.
