Mount Royal is one of Calgary's oldest communities and was established in the early 1900's.
It's name is said to have been taken from a community in Montreal, Quebec bearing the same name.
It is a community in the South West within walking distance to the city centre.
While the neighbourhood is "old" by today's standards, the homes have been meticulously maintained and updated.
Along 17th Avenue and area, there are some apartment buildings that are included in the information below.
Beautiful views of the city can be had by many homes. Huge homes with large back yards is a definite standard in this community.
Majestic trees and lots of green space within the confines of this neighbourhood.
