ABOUT INGLEWOOD:
Located 2 km from downtown, and 1 km from Stampede park. It is a wonderful place to live.
Inglewood is the oldest neighborhood in Calgary. Geographically, it is located right where the Elbow and Bow Rivers meet and offers beautiful parks and bike paths along each river. Great for swimming or rafting in the summer. It has a fish hatchery, bird sanctuary, and the Calgary Zoo! Did we mention the cafes and artists? Inglewood is loaded with artistic folks and funky cafe's. We have 3 live music venues, the Ironwood, the Blues Can, and the about to open Calgary Folk Music centre. Tim Horton's tried to build in Inglewood and he was refused, sorry Timmy, the artists need a place to call there own, and for many, it is Inglewood. Must try's include Inglewood Pizza, the Iron Wood for live music, our great Chinese food restaurant, and our fantastic Italian restaurants (including Spolumbos!).
Quiet and close.
Live in the innercity. Inglewood offers the best of the city and the best of nature.
We have bike paths, bird sanctuary, great access to the bow and elbow rivers,
and a kayak run. Also we enjoy great culture including live music 7 days a week (Ironwood,
Blues Can, Gravity, and the Calgary Folk Music Society). We have cafe's (Starbucks, Wild) and great restaurants (Eat Eat, Spolumbos, the cantina, and how could we forget Sugo!).
Also, we have a funky new grocery store, pharmacy, cross fit, and a swimming pool.
about our house
This house is a working house, meaning, we all have careers that we are pursuing. We are social, but, we are not home a lot. Most of us have
University or College Degrees and enjoy the access to downtown and the quiet. We are all responsible, help clean the house, do our dishes, and do not leave
messes behind us. So, if this is you, please read on!
Culture of the house
It took us a while, now we kind of have a house culture, a feel, a vibe, an energy and we want to keep it. It is
a culture of being fairly organized, fairly clean, fairly quiet, fairly social. It order to keep what we have, we have created some guidelines.
I can continue to evolve, but look through them and see if it fits what you. We also have a cleaning schedule with
weekly duties laid out.
We have a cleaner who comes once a week who does the chores some of the roomies missed. It is $20 if you don't do your chore.
That way,the house is guaranteed to be clean every week.
