By the numbers
Roxboro at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.

About Roxboro
Fun facts: Roxboro sits on an 1884 land grant to the Oblate missionaries, who registered it themselves in 1911 as "Roxborough Place." Before there were houses, the land was leased to a brickyard. Roxboro once had an oxbow lake, and in 1912 high-pressure water jets washed soil off the escarpment to fill it in. It was first pitched as a wealthy enclave to rival Mount Royal, then built after WWI as a more modest area. The Mission Bridge (1915) is listed as the oldest surviving concrete bridge in Alberta.
Roxboro is a small inner-city community in SW Calgary, along the Elbow River below the Mission Hill escarpment. Most of its homes are 1920s Craftsman bungalows on quiet, tree-lined streets.
It shares the Rideau Roxboro Community Association with Rideau Park. Roxboro Park has a natural playground, an off-leash area with access to the river, tennis courts and a winter rink. Route 3 runs along 4 Street SW, and the cafés on 4th Street in Mission are just across the river.
Things to do: Walk the wooded off-leash trail at Roxboro Park. Let the kids loose on the natural playground. Skate the community rink in winter. Stroll over to the 4th Street cafés. Admire the volunteer boulevard gardens on 4 Street.
Nearest farmers’ market: Crossroads Market, 1235 26 Avenue SE — Friday to Sunday, 9 am–5 pm, year-round, indoors (outdoor vendors in summer) — about 2 km away.
