Land Use
R-CG
R-CG is a residential designation that is primarily for rowhouses but also allows for single detached, side-by-side and duplex homes that may include a secondary suite.
Zoning Analysis
R-CG zoning permits single detached homes with secondary suites, offering income potential of $1,800-2,400/month to offset childcare costs for your 4 and 7-year-old. This flexibility supports your growing family's financial needs. Future redevelopment options include side-by-side conversion for multigenerational living or equity extraction, though this premium property likely performs best as single-family use given current market positioning and newer construction vintage.
Lot Analysis
This detached home sits on a 4,054 sqft lot, 82% smaller than Inglewood's 22,997 sqft median, reflecting newer infill development patterns typical of 2018 construction. The compact lot size trades yard space for location and modern amenities. Built in 2018, this property is 18 years newer than both Inglewood and Calgary medians (2000), eliminating near-term major system replacements. Your family benefits from modern building standards, energy efficiency, and minimal maintenance requirements through your children's school years.
