Northwest Edmonton Condos for Sale

Three bands of neighbourhoods

Closest to downtown are Inglewood, Woodcroft, Prince Charles, Sherbrooke and Dovercourt, around Groat Road and St. Albert Trail, and, farther west, Grovenor, McQueen, High Park, Mayfield, Canora and Britannia Youngstown, near 111 Avenue and Stony Plain Road. Britannia Youngstown was part of the Town of Jasper Place until it joined Edmonton in 1964.

The middle band, between the CN rail line and 137 Avenue, takes in Calder, Athlone, Kensington, Wellington, Lauderdale and Rosslyn. Calder began as a community for Grand Trunk Pacific Railway workers. North of 137 Avenue are Castle Downs, whose neighbourhoods are named after European castles, The Palisades west of 127 Street, and Griesbach, built on land that was once CFB Griesbach, a military base. Neighbourhoods in Castle Downs and The Palisades reach Anthony Henday Drive.

Condo stock: 1970s townhouses to new low-rises

Many of Castle Downs' condos are townhouse complexes from the 1970s, especially in Dunluce, Carlisle, Caernarvon, Lorelei and Baturyn. Beaumaris, along Castle Downs Road, has a large share of apartment-style condos, mostly from the 1980s and 1990s. Baranow, on 137 Avenue next to a large shopping centre, is mostly low-rise apartment buildings put up since the late 1990s.

The Palisades neighbourhoods (Albany, Carlton, Cumberland, Hudson, Oxford and Pembina) and Griesbach are the newest part of the market, mostly low-rise complexes from 2000 on, with Griesbach adding townhouse units. Closer in, Inglewood, Canora and Britannia Youngstown have walk-up apartment condos, many from before 2000.

Transit and commuting

There is no LRT station in this area yet. The closest is NAIT/Blatchford Market, the Metro Line's terminus since January 20, 2024. Under the City's plan, trains would continue past Blatchford, follow 113A Street up to a new transit centre at 153 Avenue in Castle Downs and then turn west toward Campbell Road. So far the only money committed is $20 million for land purchases on the leg to Castle Downs, approved in the City's capital budget for 2023 to 2026. In April 2026, the area's city councillor asked City staff to look at cheaper options, including bus rapid transit.

On the south edge, Valley Line West will stop at Grovenor/142 Street and Stony Plain Road/149 Street, with construction expected to finish in 2028. Buses run from the Castle Downs and Westmount transit centres. St. Albert Trail, 127 Street, 137 Avenue, 153 Avenue and Castle Downs Road carry most car traffic, and the City's Yellowhead Trail freeway conversion, which replaces traffic signals with interchanges, is scheduled to finish by the end of 2027.

Shopping, parks and buyer checks

Westmount Centre, which opened in 1955 as Edmonton's first shopping mall of its kind, shares Woodcroft with Coronation Park and TELUS World of Science. Mayfield Common shopping centre is on Stony Plain Road in Britannia Youngstown, and the Castle Downs Recreation Centre is in the southeast corner of Dunluce.

In older Castle Downs and inner-northwest complexes, read the reserve fund study and plan; Alberta requires a new study at least every five years. Townhouse complexes can be conventional or bare land condominiums, and in a bare land unit the owner usually maintains the roof and exterior walls unless the bylaws shift that to the corporation, so check the plan type and bylaws. Treat LRT to Castle Downs as a long-term plan, since construction is not funded. In newer Palisades and Griesbach buildings, ask how much of the five-year envelope and ten-year structural warranty remains.
