Some lots in Calgary are rare. This one is singular. Nearly half an acre at the end of Riverdale Avenue, where the street meets the forest and the river bends south. Two hundred and twenty feet of river frontage, one of the widest parcels on the street.The rear faces due west. Before the sun drops behind the bluff on the far shore, the light falls directly across the lot and onto the river. The bluff is high enough that the prevailing north wind passes over rather than through, leaving the site notably sheltered at river level. Across the water is undisturbed natural corridor.The parcel widens toward the water, orienting the site so every principal room can face the river. The southern edge borders mature forest. Underground powerlines keep the sightlines unobstructed across the full width of the property.Riverdale Avenue is one of Calgary's great addresses. Close to downtown, walkable, with a strong sense of community built over generations. The kind of place where every day ends with the river out back and the city within reach.This is the best Calgary has to offer.All offers submitted no later than 8:00AM MST on the noted review date: 1334 Riverdale Avenue, May 27; 1302 Riverdale Avenue, June 1; 1132 Riverdale Avenue, June 4; 714 Rideau Road, June 5.

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
