Where to stay in Oakridge
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Oakridge is a place to settle rather than to check in. Its quiet streets carry houses and townhomes instead of hotels, so those after a room book into central Calgary and drive out to the community. Rooms are hard to find here.
If you want a low-key suburban base, Oakridge and the Calgary community of Haysboro suit a longer stay.
