Northeast Edmonton Homes for Sale

Northeast Edmonton Communities, Schools and Amenities

Six distinct markets share this compass direction, and confusing them is the most common mistake buyers make out here. A century separates the oldest of them from the newest. Here is what each one actually is.

Highlands, Montrose and Bellevue

Highlands is the historic anchor of the northeast and one of the most architecturally significant neighbourhoods in the city. It was founded in 1912 by developers William Magrath and Bidwell Holgate, who bought the land above the river valley and marketed it as an exclusive district, backing the pitch by building 24 speculative homes, connecting the lots to city water and sewer, and paying to extend the streetcar line out along 112 Avenue.

Ada Boulevard, named for Magrath's wife, runs along the top of the valley and is still the signature street. The Magrath Mansion, built between 1912 and 1913, sits on five lots with a two storey colonnade and river views, and remains the landmark of the neighbourhood. Owners of houses more than 50 years old can put heritage plaques on the exterior naming the original owner and year built, which is why walking these blocks feels like reading a directory of early Edmonton.

The 112 Avenue shopping strip is a genuine draw, with independent bookshops, delis and ice cream, and Highlands Golf Club sits at the edge. Housing is mostly detached and spans every decade from the 1910s on, so the range here is enormous: estate homes, character bungalows, postwar infill and modern rebuilds on the same walk.

Montrose, Bellevue, Cromdale, Virginia Park and Newton sit around it and share the same era and the same river valley access at meaningfully lower prices. Priced out of Highlands? Start on these blocks instead. Same vintage, same valley, a different number.

Schools nearby: Highlands School runs kindergarten through grade 9 inside the neighbourhood, which is unusual for a mature community this small. Virginia Park School covers kindergarten to grade 6.

Beverly: Beverly Heights, Beacon Heights, Bergman, Abbottsfield and Rundle Heights

These five neighbourhoods were their own town. Beverly incorporated as a village in 1913, became a town in 1914, and did not join Edmonton until December 30, 1961, when the city absorbed its population of roughly 9,000 and its $4.16 million of debt.

It was a coal town. More than twenty mines operated in and around Beverly, and in the early 1900s over 60 percent of Edmonton's coal came out of them. The Humberstone Mine, near what is now the Rundle Park golf course, pulled close to a million tons out of the ground across 34 years before closing in 1934. Mine markers stand at three former sites today, and Alberta's oldest cenotaph is at 40 Street and 118 Avenue.

That history matters when you buy here. Most detached homes in Beverly Heights, Beacon Heights and Bergman went up in the decade before amalgamation, with low rise apartments added between 1960 and 1980. Abbottsfield and Rundle Heights developed later, through the 1960s and 1970s. The Olde Towne Beverly business district along 118 Avenue between 30 and 50 Street still runs a summer farmers market and an annual Remembrance Day parade, and the whole area overlooks the river valley with Rundle Park at its edge.

Nothing in Edmonton competes on price for a detached home on a full lot this close to downtown. One caveat worth raising with your inspector: historic mine workings run under parts of the former town, and ground conditions are a fair question to ask rather than one to discover later.

Schools nearby: Ivor Dent School sits in Rundle Heights and serves kindergarten to grade 6 for the Beverly Heights and Rundle area, with Rundle School immediately south. On the Catholic side, a new K to 9 replacement school is under construction near 33 Street and 107 Avenue on the former St. Jerome site, expected to open in September 2027. Until then, students are at St. Bernadette.

Clareview and Area

Clareview Town Centre is the transit anchor of the northeast. The Clareview LRT station puts you on the Capital Line straight into downtown and out to the University of Alberta, with a transit centre and commuter parking attached. The Clareview Community Recreation Centre is a 250,000 square foot facility with pools, arenas and fitness space, sitting in a district park with sports fields, a skate park and artificial turf. Retail is dense here, with the Clareview shopping plaza plus Costco and a cinema along 50 Street, and Londonderry Mall and Manning Town Centre both under ten minutes.

The surrounding neighbourhoods split the difference between that convenience and quieter streets. Kernohan and Canon Ridge border Hermitage Park and the river valley. Fraser, Homesteader, Bannerman, Belmont, Kirkness, Overlanders, Hairsine and Sifton Park are mostly 1970s and 1980s detached housing with a solid supply of townhomes and low rise apartments mixed in.

Nowhere else in Edmonton puts an LRT station, a full recreation centre and big box retail inside one walkable radius at this price. If you would rather not depend on a second vehicle, start your search here.

Schools nearby: this area is well covered on both the public and Catholic side. M.E. LaZerte, in Kilkenny, is the public high school serving a large share of the northeast.

Londonderry and the 137 Avenue Communities

Kildare and Kilkenny together make up the Londonderry district, named after County Londonderry, with every neighbourhood in it taking its name from an Irish town or county. Kildare comes from Cill-dara, Gaelic for church of the oak.

Both were built out from the 1960s through the early 1980s. Housing runs from starter bungalows to four level splits, with attached and apartment stock making up roughly half the supply in Kildare. Londonderry Mall sits in the southeast corner of Kildare along 66 Street, and the Londonderry Fitness and Leisure Centre and Londonderry Athletic Grounds are in Kilkenny alongside M. E. Lazerte High School.

The wider band along 137 and 144 Avenue carries the same character and the same value: Balwin, Belvedere, Delwood, Evansdale, Glengarry, Killarney, McLeod, Miller, Northmount and York. Belvedere has its own LRT station. Northgate Transit Centre is walkable from parts of Kildare.

Two places left in this city let a first time buyer choose a house over a condo without leaving the serviced core. This band is one of them. Beverly is the other.

Schools nearby: Kilkenny alone holds five schools: J.A. Fife, John Barnett, Londonderry, M.E. LaZerte and Father Leo Green Catholic Elementary. Kildare School sits next door. Few areas in the city pack that much into two neighbourhoods.

The Lake District

Every neighbourhood in the Lake District is named after a body of water or a word for water in another language. Ozerna is Ukrainian for lake area. Lago Lindo is Spanish for pretty lake, and holds two lakes named for towns in Spain. Klarvatten, Belle Rive, Eaux Claires and Schonsee follow the same rule.

The district runs roughly between 97 Street, 66 Street, 153 Avenue and the Anthony Henday, and it covers Belle Rive, Klarvatten, Lago Lindo, Mayliewan, Ozerna, Schonsee, Eaux Claires and Crystallina Nera West and Crystallina Nera East.

The lakes are stormwater management doing double duty as amenity, and the practical effect is that most of this district is within walking distance of water, with a meaningful number of walkout lots backing directly onto it. Lago Lindo is the oldest of the group, built mostly through the 1980s and almost entirely single family. The eastern and northern neighbourhoods are newer, running from the 1990s through current construction in Crystallina Nera East.

Shopping is Namao Centre on 97 Street. And one thing that shapes this market more than people outside it realize: CFB Edmonton Garrison is a short drive north up 97 Street, so posting cycles move inventory here in a way they do not elsewhere in the city.

Schools nearby: Lago Lindo School anchors the older half of the district. The newer neighbourhoods on the north and east edges may still be bused, which is the one thing to pin down before you commit.

Pilot Sound: McConachie, Cy Becker, Brintnell, Hollick-Kenyon and Matt Berry

Pilot Sound is where the newest homes in the northeast are, and the whole district is named for Edmonton's aviation history. Each neighbourhood honours a Canadian aviator. Cy Becker was a wartime flying ace who made the first air mail delivery to remote northern communities. Grant McConachie launched airmail and passenger service from Edmonton to Whitehorse and went on to run Canadian Pacific Airlines.

McConachie was established in 2006 and runs between 66 Street, 50 Street, 167 Avenue and the Anthony Henday. Cy Becker sits east of it between 50 Street and Manning Drive, with an all season park that has a splash pad in summer and a skating area in winter. Brintnell, Hollick-Kenyon and Matt Berry complete the district, and Gorman, Ebbers and Casselman fill in around the edges.

Housing is mostly new two storey detached, front attached and rear laned, with duplexes and townhomes in the mix. The Horse Hill Community League covers Brintnell, McConachie, Cy Becker and Quarry Ridge. Manning Town Centre, Clareview and the Henday are all close.

New build districts all ask the same thing of you. Modern layouts, better efficiency and a warranty in exchange for bare yards, schools that are still coming, and no way to know what the lot across the street becomes. Some buyers take that trade happily. Others regret it by year three. Know which one you are before you sign.

Schools nearby: this district is still building its schools out and some neighbourhoods bus their students. Get the current arrangement confirmed before you write an offer.

A note on schools in Northeast Edmonton

The schools above are the ones physically located in or beside each community, not catchment assignments. Catchments in this quadrant are a moving target: Pilot Sound and the outer Lake District are still opening schools, and several mature northeast schools have been consolidated over the last decade. The Catholic replacement school in Rundle Heights is a live example, still under construction with students placed elsewhere in the meantime.

Run your address through the Edmonton Public Schools Find a School tool or the Edmonton Catholic Schools finder. Or send it to me and we will pull it up together, along with what the commute actually looks like.

School locations above current as of August 2026. Schools open, close and change grade configurations, so confirm before you make a decision.

Types of Homes for Sale in Northeast Edmonton

Pre-war and heritage

Almost all of it is in Highlands and the neighbourhoods immediately around it. Edwardian, Craftsman, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival, much of it on original lots, some of it carrying a heritage plaque. Buy for the architecture and budget for the mechanical, because a hundred year old house tells you what it needs on your schedule, not its own.

Fifties and sixties bungalows

Beverly and the Londonderry band. Solid, plain, well built, and the cheapest way into a detached home with a real backyard anywhere in this city. Basements are often unfinished, wiring and panels are frequently original, and the upside is that nobody has renovated the character out of them yet.

Seventies and eighties family housing

Clareview and the Lake District. Bi-levels, splits and two storeys on curved streets with cul-de-sacs, built when lots were still generous and attached garages became standard. This is the practical middle of the northeast market and it moves consistently.

Current construction

Pilot Sound, Crystallina Nera East and Gorman. Front attached and rear laned two storeys, duplexes and townhomes, with builder inventory and spec homes usually available. Some streets are finished and some are still under construction, which is worth walking before you write.

Attached and apartment

Concentrated in Clareview, Kildare and Belvedere, all three of which sit close to LRT. This is the only quadrant where an entry level buyer can weigh a townhome against a detached bungalow at a similar number and have it be a real decision rather than a foregone one.

Common Questions About Northeast Edmonton

What are the boundaries of Northeast Edmonton?

I use the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton zone map, the same system used on the MLS. Northeast Edmonton means Zones 2, 3 and 28 in the Lake District and the north, and Zones 6, 9, 23 and 35 around Clareview and the river valley. Using the association zones rather than drawing my own lines means the boundaries here match what you will see on any listing.

Is the northeast actually a good place to buy?

For the right buyer, it is the best value in Edmonton. You give up some of the prestige that comes with a west end or south side address. You get a detached home on a full lot, river valley access, two LRT stations and a major recreation centre, at prices the rest of the city stopped offering years ago. If you are buying to live in rather than to impress, the math here is hard to argue with.

Why does Beverly feel different from the rest of Edmonton?

Because it was not Edmonton. Beverly incorporated as a village in 1913, became a town in 1914, and stayed independent until December 30, 1961, when the city absorbed its 9,000 residents and its $4.16 million debt. It was a coal town with more than twenty mines, supplying over 60 percent of Edmonton's coal in the early 1900s. Most of its houses went up in the decade before amalgamation, and the business district on 118 Avenue still runs on its own identity.

Can I walk to an LRT station in the northeast?

In parts of Clareview and Belvedere, yes. Clareview Town Centre pairs a Capital Line station and transit centre with a 250,000 square foot recreation centre and a full retail node. If commuting without a car matters to you, that combination does not exist at this price point anywhere else in Edmonton.

How old are the homes in each part of the northeast?

Roughly by era: Highlands and its neighbours from the 1910s onward, Beverly mostly 1950s, Londonderry through the 1960s and 1970s, Clareview and Lago Lindo in the 1970s and 1980s, the outer Lake District from the 1990s, and Pilot Sound from 2006 to today. Six eras, one quadrant.

What is the Lake District?

A group of northeast neighbourhoods built around stormwater lakes, each named after a body of water or a word for water in another language. Ozerna is Ukrainian for lake area. Lago Lindo is Spanish for pretty lake. It covers Belle Rive, Klarvatten, Lago Lindo, Mayliewan, Ozerna, Schonsee, Eaux Claires and Crystallina Nera, and most of it is within walking distance of water with a real number of walkout lots backing onto it.

Do postings at CFB Edmonton affect this market?

In the Lake District, noticeably. The Garrison is a short drive north on 97 Street, and posting cycles shift both inventory and timing there in a way they do not elsewhere in the city. If you are relocating on a posting, tell me your dates early, because they change the strategy.
