Best Places to Live in Edmonton
A few years back,
Money Sense magazine ranked Edmonton as the 31st most liveable location in Canada
in terms of its economy, amenities, real estate market, weather, and attractions.
By 2013, Edmonton had jumped to 11th best location in Canada,
and was rated in 3rd place among the big cities, behind only Calgary and Ottawa.

The city of Edmonton has experienced a decline in real estate prices
since they peaked in May 2007. Home prices in late 2012 averaged $329,000,
up 4.4 percent from $316,000 a year earlier.
Edmonton is relatively stable in economic downturns,
but the global economy’s recent plunge has been a driving force
in the reduction in real estate valuations.
Regarding the best places to live in Edmonton,
we’ll consider family-friendly neighbourhoods offering a good quality of life
with low crime rates. (These might not necessarily be your choice if you’re a young single
person looking for inner city night life and entertainment.)
Edmonton’s residents often identify the city’s south western neighbourhoods
as some of the most desirable and affluent.
NEIGHBOURHOODS SUCH AS
Haddow , Henderson Estates and Ogilvie Ridge have very low crime rates
and their residents are very affluent compared with most others.
NEIGHBOURHOODS SUCH AS
Blackburne and Falconer Heights
are affluent areas with similarly low crime rates.
NEIGHBOURHOODS SUCH AS
Lendrum Place and Steinhauer
are more middling for affluence levels and,
although they suffer a little more crime than the neighbourhoods mentioned previously,
still have low crime rates.
IN SOUTH EDMONTON
Windsor Place and Bearspaw
are good neighbourhoods,
while in the South East Wild Rose, Cloverdale
and Larkspur are great places to live
IN THE SOUTH EAST
parts of Mill Woods have a reputation for higher levels of crime;
some residents of Edmonton warn people not to live in Mill Woods.
This is rather unfair, given the size of the area – over 100,000 people live there.
A minority of Mill Woods areas do have problems,
while other neighbourhoods offer a high quality of life with low crime.
Jackson Heights, Greenvies and Menisa, .
WEST EDMONTON
There are plenty of excellent, family friendly areas in West Edmonton.
(Some of these have only been built in recent years as the city expands.
Some of the best you could consider are
Dechene, Gariepy, Glastonbury. Jamieson Place, Laurier Heights, Potter Greens,
Quesnell Heights, Rio Terrace, Wedgewood Heights, Westridge,
