West Edmonton Condos for Sale

What West Edmonton covers

This page groups the west end into four parts. West Central covers the neighbourhoods closest to downtown and the river, including Glenora, Crestwood, Laurier Heights, Parkview, Jasper Park, Glenwood, West Jasper Place, Lynnwood, Meadowlark Park and Rio Terrace. The West Edmonton zone covers the area around West Edmonton Mall and Callingwood, with Terra Losa, La Perle, Belmead, Aldergrove, Callingwood, Lymburn, Ormsby Place and Wedgewood Heights among its neighbourhoods. The western groups take in Lewis Farms (Secord, Rosenthal, and Breckenridge, Potter, Stewart, Suder and Webber Greens) and The Grange (Glastonbury, The Hamptons and Granville), both west of the Henday, plus Edgemont, the Riverview neighbourhoods, and Hawks Ridge, Starling and Trumpeter.

Much of the central section was the Town of Jasper Place, which grew up around Stony Plain Road and 149 Street and joined Edmonton in 1964. Stony Plain Road, 87 Avenue and Whitemud Drive are the main east-west routes, with 156 Street and 170 Street running north-south.

Condo stock across the west end

Near Stony Plain Road, Glenwood and West Jasper Place mix houses with walk-ups, row housing and taller apartment buildings. Homes there were built in waves, from before the 1964 amalgamation through the 1960s and 1970s, and older houses along Stony Plain Road and 156 Street have been replaced with low-rise apartments over time, so building ages vary from block to block.

Around West Edmonton Mall and Callingwood, much of the condo stock dates from the 1970s, when Callingwood, Lymburn and the neighbourhoods around them began to fill in. Callingwood North is mostly row housing and low-rise apartments. North of the mall, Terra Losa was built mainly between 1991 and 2001, and most of its homes are low-rise apartment condos.

West of the Henday, The Grange was planned in 1998 and filled in mostly during the 2000s. Secord and Rosenthal, whose neighbourhood plans were adopted in 2007 and 2009, hold the newest condo buildings in the west end.

Valley Line West and getting around

Valley Line West is a 14 km LRT line under construction from downtown to Lewis Farms. In the west end it will stop at Glenora, Grovenor/142 Street, Stony Plain Road/149 Street, Jasper Place, Glenwood/Sherwood and Meadowlark, then run on an elevated guideway along 87 Avenue with raised stations at Misericordia and West Edmonton Mall, before Aldergrove/Belmead and the Lewis Farms terminus. The City expects construction to be complete in 2028, followed by testing and commissioning; no opening date has been set.

Until then, buses run from transit centres including Jasper Place, West Edmonton Mall and Lewis Farms. Drivers bound for downtown use Stony Plain Road, 87 Avenue leads east toward the University of Alberta and the south side, and Whitemud Drive and Anthony Henday Drive connect to the rest of the city.

Amenities, and what to check before you buy

West Edmonton Mall on 170 Street is the area's biggest shopping and entertainment centre. The Misericordia Community Hospital on 87 Avenue has a 24-hour emergency department, Meadowlark Health and Shopping Centre serves the blocks around 156 Street and 87 Avenue, and the Edmonton Valley Zoo sits in the river valley below Laurier Heights, off Buena Vista Road.

Along 87 Avenue, Valley Line West construction has narrowed traffic west of 156 Street. Ask how a building's driveway access and turns will work once trains are running. Many complexes around the mall and Callingwood are about 50 years old: read the reserve fund study, which Alberta condo corporations must renew at least every five years, and ask about past or planned special levies. In the newest buildings west of the Henday, check how much provincial new home warranty coverage remains.
