Northeast Edmonton Condos for Sale

Where Northeast Edmonton is

The area starts near the river with Cromdale, Bellevue, Virginia Park, Montrose, Newton and Highlands along 118 Avenue, and the former Town of Beverly (Beacon Heights, Bergman and Beverly Heights), which joined Edmonton in 1961. The area also takes in Rundle Heights and Abbottsfield, and Canon Ridge and Overlanders in the Hermitage area.

North of Yellowhead Trail are Killarney, Balwin, Belvedere, Delwood, Kildare, York, Kilkenny, Glengarry, Northmount, Evansdale and McLeod, built mostly between the 1940s and 1970s. To their east is Clareview: Belmont, Bannerman, Hairsine, Kernohan, Fraser, Sifton Park and Kirkness. Casselman and Miller line 50 Street, and north of 153 Avenue the Lake District neighbourhoods, including Eaux Claires, Klarvatten, Belle Rive, Lago Lindo, Ozerna and Schonsee, run up to Anthony Henday Drive alongside Brintnell, Hollick-Kenyon and Matt Berry.

Condo stock across the northeast

Townhouse condos are a large part of the market. Clareview was built mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, and Hairsine is dominated by row housing from that era; Homesteader, Casselman and Abbottsfield also have many row-house complexes. York holds a piece of local history as the home of Edmonton's first condominium complex.

Apartment condos are concentrated in a few places: Cromdale, where several apartment buildings went up in the 1960s; Clareview Town Centre around Clareview station, mostly 2000s buildings; and Eaux Claires, which has many walk-up apartment-style condos. The newest condo buildings are north of 153 Avenue.

Capital Line LRT and getting around

The Capital Line serves the northeast at Coliseum, Belvedere and Clareview, the line's northern end. Belvedere and Clareview stations both have park and ride lots. Preliminary engineering is done for a 2.9 km extension north of Clareview to Gorman, but the City has not funded design or construction. On the west side, Northgate Transit Centre sits across from Northgate Centre at 97 Street and 137 Avenue, and Eaux Claires Transit Centre at 97 Street and 157 Avenue has its own park and ride; Abbottsfield Transit Centre serves the south end.

The main roads are 97 Street on the west, 137 Avenue and 153 Avenue across the middle, 50 Street and Manning Drive to the northeast, Fort Road through Belvedere and Victoria Trail through Clareview. Yellowhead Trail runs along the south side of Killarney, Balwin and Belvedere and is being converted to a freeway, with the City aiming to finish by the end of 2027.

Amenities and what to check

Londonderry Mall in Kildare and Northgate Centre are the main shopping centres. The Northeast Community Health Centre has a 24-hour emergency department, and Concordia University of Edmonton is in Virginia Park. Rundle Park and Hermitage Park are part of the river valley park system, and Kennedale Ravine runs along the south side of Clareview, giving several neighbourhoods a path to the valley.

Much of the townhouse stock dates from the 1970s and early 1980s. Alberta requires a new reserve fund study at least every five years, so ask for the latest one and find out whether the corporation expects to replace roofs, windows or siding soon and how the fund will pay for it. Confirm whether a townhouse is a conventional or bare land condominium, since bare land owners usually maintain their own roofs and exterior walls unless the bylaws say otherwise. Expect Yellowhead Trail work near the southern neighbourhoods until the conversion is done, and don't count on the Gorman extension, which has no construction funding.
