Glenora is an older neighborhood, with most homes built before 1970. Now an attractive neighborhood for infill development, this ratio will change with custom new skinny homes and larger estate homes replacing dated homes on prime lots. Mature foliage and large trees are some of the many desirable features of Glenora, along with its close proximity to the North Saskatchewan River Valley and MacKinnon Ravine Park. Glenora’s central location allows park-like estate living within the central corridor meaning access to inner-city amenities.

 
There are four schools located in Glenora. Glenora Elementary School and Westminster Junior High School are both public. There is also St. Vincent Catholic Elementary and the Progressive Academy, a private school.
