Killarney’s residents bring a certain vibrant energy to the area. Not only are folks from Killarney very involved with their community in terms of the community garden, the aquatic and recreation centre as well as the shops and restaurants in the area. This area has been going through a bit of change with the building of infill homes since 2002.

Shopping, restaurants, pubs, and recreation facilities are all within easy reach, with Westbrook Mall situated just north of the community. Downtown is easily accessible, either via Bow Trail or the nearby West LRT. The area has become popular with young families and has both public and separate schools. Mount Royal University is also located just to the south.
