Spruce Grove Condos for Sale

A separate city west of Edmonton

Spruce Grove has been a city since March 1, 1986. It was a village from 1955 and a town from 1971, and today it has its own council, bylaws and tax rates. Its neighbours are the Town of Stony Plain and Parkland County.

The three municipalities share some services. They run a joint on-demand local bus service and fund the TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre in Spruce Grove, open since 2002, which has a pool, ice arenas, indoor fields, a gymnasium and a fitness centre for residents of all three.

What the condo stock looks like

Single-detached houses are the most common home type in Spruce Grove. Most of the rest of the housing is semi-detached houses, row housing and apartments in buildings under five storeys, so the condo market leans toward low-rise apartment buildings and townhouse complexes.

City Centre, the area around downtown, is where the City wants more multi-unit housing. Multi-family infill buildings have already gone up there, and the City Centre Area Redevelopment Plan, adopted in 2020, sets out an 'Urban Living' area for medium- to higher-density housing alongside some existing houses.

Getting to Edmonton

Two highways carry most commuter traffic. Highway 16, the Yellowhead, passes Spruce Grove and runs east to Anthony Henday Drive, Edmonton's ring road. Highway 16A, the Parkland Highway, runs through Spruce Grove and Stony Plain and continues into west Edmonton.

Spruce Grove Transit's Route 560 is the commuter bus. It runs on weekdays from the Spruce Grove Transit Centre to NAIT, Downtown Edmonton and MacEwan University, and Edmonton Transit Service operates it under contract. For trips inside Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, riders book the shared on-demand service, which runs on weekdays and Saturdays.

Amenities, work and what to check

Heavy Metal Place, which opened in May 2025, added two NHL-size ice surfaces, a branch of the Spruce Grove Public Library and a black-box theatre, and is home to the BCHL's Spruce Grove Saints. Many residents work close to home: in the City's 2023 census, about a third of employed residents worked in Spruce Grove and another 13% in Stony Plain and Parkland County. The Acheson Industrial Area, Parkland County's main business park a few kilometres west of Edmonton, is a nearby employment area.

Before you buy, check the City's current residential tax rate, since council sets it every year by bylaw and the municipality also collects the provincial education property tax. Ask the condo corporation for its bylaws, recent financial statements and board minutes, its latest reserve fund study and plan, and an estoppel certificate. Alberta requires a reserve fund study at least every five years. Alberta has no land transfer tax; buyers pay Land Titles registration fees on the transfer and any mortgage instead.
