Southeast Edmonton Condos for Sale

What Southeast Edmonton covers

This page groups four parts of the southeast. South East Central covers established neighbourhoods such as Bonnie Doon, Holyrood, Strathearn, Idylwylde, King Edward Park, Ritchie, Ottewell, Capilano and Forest Heights. Mill Woods takes in neighbourhoods including Tawa, Pollard Meadows, Lee Ridge, Tweddle Place and Mill Woods Town Centre. The Meadows includes Larkspur, Silver Berry, Wild Rose, Tamarack and Laurel, and the Ellerslie group covers Ellerslie, Summerside, The Orchards, Walker and Charlesworth.

Mill Woods fills the block between Whitemud Drive and Anthony Henday Drive, from 91 Street east to 34 Street. The Meadows lies east of 34 Street, and the Ellerslie group sits south of the Henday, with Ellerslie Road separating Ellerslie itself from Summerside and Walker to the south.

The condo stock, old and new

Bonnie Doon, Holyrood, Ottewell and Capilano were largely built in the years after the Second World War. Condo buildings in these neighbourhoods range in age, so compare each building's history rather than assuming the whole street is the same vintage.

Mill Woods was planned from 1971 as a set of communities around a central town centre, on land assembled for that purpose in 1970. Most of its condo complexes date from the 1970s and 1980s. The apartment buildings in Tawa and Mill Woods Town Centre are newer, from the 1990s and early 2000s.

The Meadows began with Larkspur, planned in 1987, while Tamarack, Laurel and Maple were planned between 2006 and 2010, so most of its condos are from the 2000s and 2010s. South of the Henday, Ellerslie was planned in the early 2000s and mixes row housing with low-rise apartment condos. Summerside, built from the early 2000s, is arranged around a private lake that residents pay a fee to use, and Walker is the newest of the three.

Valley Line and road connections

The Valley Line Southeast opened on November 4, 2023, and runs about 13 km from Mill Woods to 102 Street downtown. In this area it stops at Strathearn, Holyrood, Bonnie Doon and Avonmore, rises to the elevated Davies station, which has a transit centre and a 1,300-stall park and ride, then continues to Millbourne/Woodvale, Grey Nuns and the Mill Woods stop at Mill Woods Town Centre. Riders transfer to the Capital and Metro lines at Churchill downtown.

The Meadows and the neighbourhoods south of Anthony Henday Drive have no LRT; they rely on buses, with hubs that include the Meadows and Mill Woods transit centres. For drivers, Whitemud Drive and Anthony Henday Drive both cross the southeast from east to west, and 91 Street, 50 Street and 34 Street run north-south.

Amenities, and what to check before you buy

Grey Nuns Community Hospital, with a 24-hour emergency department, is in Mill Woods and has its own Valley Line stop. The University of Alberta's French-language Campus Saint-Jean is on Rue Marie-Anne Gaboury (91 Street) in Bonnie Doon, and the Mill Creek Ravine runs along Bonnie Doon's western edge.

Two older malls are in line for change. Maclab Development Group bought Mill Woods Town Centre in December 2022 with plans to redevelop the site, and Morguard has a long-range plan for high-density housing on the Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre site beside the Bonnie Doon stop. Buyers nearby should expect construction and new supply over time.

For 1970s and 1980s Mill Woods complexes, review the reserve fund study, which Alberta condo corporations must renew at least every five years, and ask whether a special levy has been discussed. In Summerside, confirm whether the lake fee is billed separately from the condo fee.
