Richmond is one of Calgary's oldest communities, dating back to 1907 when it was first annexed by the city of Calgary. However, development of the area began decades later. Based on the 2016 Census of Canada, construction of Richmond's dwellings began from the 1960s onwards, with a consistent amount of development up to 2016.
This ends up lending the houses in Richmond a variety of construction dates and styles of architecture. Whether you're starting a family or want to enjoy your retired years, Richmond offers row houses, single family detached bungalows, as well as semi-detached homes.
Over time, many of the early modern homes fell into disrepair, so they have been torn down and replaced with luxurious houses. Some houses still embrace the 50s designs and have contemporary upgrades or they have been completely remodelled in newer styles for today's homebuyer.
New Richmond residents can easily get to know their neighbours because most people speak English and French. Some also know Spanish, Tagalog, Cantonese, Persian, or German.
