Walk Score® by Redfin, retrieved 2026-10-11. Measured at the middle of the community's street addresses. A home closer to the edge can score higher or lower. 
Britannia is the inner-city SW Calgary luxury community immediately south of Elbow Park. The defining feature is the Britannia Plaza retail district along Elbow Drive, which gives Britannia residents walkable amenities, rare for a luxury community at this scale.
Housing stock is pre-1960 character detached on large lots, with selected new infill construction. Streets are mature and the canopy is full.
For luxury buyers who value walkability alongside the inner-city setting, Britannia is the canonical choice.
