Skyview is basically Aspen anyway. Very little difference between them.

If you need more detail than the already pretty thorough mapping the city has provided you need to really start questioning your choices of real estate “investment” location lol

I am going to say this for the last time, that's river flood mapping only. That doesn't account for local flooding because the storm drainage system in the inner city is not great at all. There is a reason there is substantial investments being made in inner city drainage infrastructure and it has very little to do with river flooding only. Most neighborhoods in the City are not influenced, directly, from river flooding.

Local flooding can happen everywhere. And don't think the "inner city" is special. The CoC has fucked up storm drainage all over the place.

[ExtraSlow]

I still say that topo maps can tell you a hell of a lot about stormwater drainage as well. In fact, I made reference to that in a post above.

Agreed, but the biggest issue with the inner city in many places is that there is no overland flow path, meaning that water gets trapped in certain locations, sometimes on private property. It's a particular big problem with new development next to old and the constant adjustment to lot grades. These sorts of issues are very fine and are not visually apparent in topo maps. If you're keen enough you can figure this out on the site, but sometimes it's very hard to point out.

All new developments in the past 30 years have a major flow path when the piped system cannot handle it anymore it gets routed through the streets and public lands to avoid flooding private property.

Last summer I was kind of concerned during one of the really heavy rainfalls but thankfully our street has a slight gradual slope to it so all the water washed down away from me. The corner though got flooded a fair bit, had to go into the oncoming lane to turn right. But it's not my lot so meh who cares.

I get ya. But even where I am (Royal Oak) there's a few houses that are below the water table.

There WAS houses waaay up on top of the 24th st hill in woodbine that would flood… but they redid the storm drains and there are two retaining ponds in fish creek now. All fixed… finally

This place near me seems like total crack pricing. It was C/S but is back up again, wonder what it was C/S for and why it fell through.

What posesses a person to spend all that money renoing the interior and leaves the exterior like that.

Looks like someone flipping the place to me... There always seems to be a formula with quick updates (white doors, baseboards) and then kitchen/bathroom renos

Exteriors can get expensive, and that house is 100% a flip.

Skyview is Aspen of NE.

I can't access the link, but I guess not.

It's a Skyview house listed at $800g. An acquaintance just sold his Skyview a month ago for $100g over list, at $620g.

Skyview is really hawt for people not from Alberta. Apparently the internet doesn't exist in Ontario, and they have no clue it's the worst hail location in Calgary.
