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 KARAKTER luxury clients who specifically value walkability alongside the inner-city luxury setting, Britannia is the canonical choice.
