Southwest Edmonton Condos for Sale

What Southwest Edmonton covers

On this site, Southwest Edmonton groups four sets of neighbourhoods south of the North Saskatchewan River. The University group runs from Garneau, Strathcona and Queen Alexandra down through McKernan, Belgravia, Parkallen, Pleasantview and Lendrum Place. Southwest Central takes in Kaskitayo neighbourhoods such as Blue Quill, Ermineskin, Skyrattler and Twin Brooks, along with Aspen Gardens, Duggan and Royal Gardens. Riverbend and Terwillegar cover Brander Gardens, Ramsay Heights, Terwillegar Towne, Haddow, Hodgson, Magrath Heights and MacTaggart. The southern group is Heritage Valley (Rutherford, MacEwan, Allard, Chappelle and their neighbours) plus Windermere, Ambleside and Keswick.

Whitemud Drive crosses the area from east to west, Terwillegar Drive and 111 Street run north-south, and Anthony Henday Drive cuts across the southern half. Windermere sits between the Henday and the river valley.

Condo buildings, from campus to Heritage Valley

Some of the oldest condo stock is closest to the university. Strathcona mixes character houses with walk-up and high-rise apartment buildings, much of it built from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Kaskitayo was laid out in the early 1970s and built mainly in that decade, so row-housing complexes and low-rise apartments of that age are common there. The exception is Century Park, a transit-oriented redevelopment of the former Heritage Mall site beside the Capital Line's southern terminus, where most condo units date from the 2000s and 2010s.

Further south the buildings get younger: most condo complexes in Terwillegar and Heritage Valley date from the 2000s and 2010s. Windermere's neighbourhood plan was adopted in 2006, and Allard began building in 2009; both hold some of the newest condo stock in the city's southwest.

LRT, buses and commuting routes

The Capital Line runs south through the area with stations at University, Health Sciences/Jubilee, McKernan/Belgravia, South Campus/Fort Edmonton Park, Southgate and Century Park, which sits at 111 Street near 23 Avenue and is the line's current south end. A 4.5 km extension from Century Park to just north of Ellerslie Road is under construction, with a Twin Brooks station and a Heritage Valley North station tied to the Heritage Valley Transit Centre and Park and Ride. The City expects construction to finish in 2029, followed by testing and commissioning. A second phase toward Allard and Desrochers is still at the concept stage.

Terwillegar and Windermere are not on the extension's route, so buyers there rely on buses, including service from Leger Transit Centre, and on Terwillegar Drive, Whitemud Drive and the Henday. The City began rebuilding the Terwillegar Drive interchange at Anthony Henday Drive in May 2026, work it expects to take about two years.

Amenities, and what to check before you buy

Everyday draws include the University of Alberta, the shops and restaurants of Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona, Southgate Centre, and the river valley: Fort Edmonton Park lies on the south bank next to Brander Gardens, and Terwillegar Park is a large river-valley park at the end of Rabbit Hill Road.

In 1970s complexes around Kaskitayo and in older buildings near campus, ask for the reserve fund study and plan. Alberta condo corporations must renew the study at least every five years and can charge owners a special levy when reserves fall short. In newer Heritage Valley and Windermere buildings, check how much of the provincial new home warranty remains: the minimums are one year for materials and labour, two years for heating, plumbing and electrical systems, five years for the building envelope and ten years for the structure. Near 111 Street and 23 Avenue, expect LRT construction detours until the extension is finished.
