Best Neighbourhoods in Edmonton (2024)
Edmonton has seen a surge in new residents from cities like Toronto and Vancouver, attracted by its liveability and relatively affordable housing, bolstered by the Alberta is Calling campaign.
One of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Edmonton is Summerside, renowned for its peaceful lakeside living originally developed by Brookfield over two decades ago. Following closely is the suburban City of St. Albert, featuring Jensen Lakes, another popular man-made lake community. These areas offer diverse housing options, from entry-level condos to luxurious lakeside homes.
The demand in Edmonton is driven by urban dwellers without children, suburban families seeking larger homes, and those looking for upscale living.
