Albert Park & Radisson Heights History
Albert Park / Radisson Heights -is a great option for buyers looking for easy commutes and a relaxed atmosphere. However, its inner-city location means that the area suffers inconveniences such as non-local traffic. But that also means that buying a home or property in Radisson is an inner-city land investment. Meaning, the land is highly coveted due to it's proximity to the city centre. Established in 1910, Albert Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Calgary. Consequently, there are plenty of older homes in the area that you can get at a bargain.
Between 1870 and 1930, a wave of immigrants from central Europe and America set up homesteads in Albert Park. They brought with them skilled tradespeople, entrepreneurs, and a legacy of hard work. These factors combined to build a neighborhood with wide-open spaces and roads, good access to shopping and transportation, and, today, some of the most affordable homes in the inner-city.
The community got its name after Albert Smyth. Albert Smyth and Mr. McCollough were scammers who lured residents by spreading the rumor that a streetcar was being developed in the area. The two men laid railway ties using firewood to Forest Lawn (town). Once developers discovered the fraud, it led to a slow down in development. That led to sporadic development explaining the wide-open spaces.
Today, although the wide-open areas have shrunk due to property development and the central location of the neighborhood. Albert Park offers buyers easy access to shopping centers and major roads, scenic views of the mountains, downtown access, the bow river valley, and affordable housing near the city.
So, if you are looking for a townhouse, condominium, apartment, detached or attached home, or single-family detached home. Albert Park is a great option.
