Edmonton’s top luxury home neighbourhoods
The short answer
Edmonton has 360 homes over $850,000 on the market right now, spread across 105 neighbourhoods — houses and condos, with duplexes, fourplexes and triplexes left to the revenue-property search. They are not evenly spread: the twenty-five below hold 59% of them. The real choice is not which street — it is whether you want a new house on a smaller lot, or an established lot with a mature canopy and a house someone else built first.
The trade-off, in numbers
Two ways to spend the same money, and the City’s own data shows how differently they land.
Windermere — 21 homes over $850,000, median $1,598,000. Typical lot 476 m², average tree diameter 13 cm. The City classifies it as Developing: new houses on new land.
Windsor Park — 8 homes over $850,000, median $1,596,000. Typical lot 825 m², average tree diameter 41 cm. Classified Redeveloping: an established neighbourhood where most of what sells at this level is new infill on an old lot.
That is 73% more lot, and street trees roughly 3× the trunk diameter — which is decades of growth, not three years of it. Canopy is the one thing a developer cannot include in a new build at any price, and it is what people mean when they say a street feels established.
Neither is the right answer. It is the question worth settling before you start booking showings, because it eliminates half the list.
The twelve that hold the most
Enough of the market sits in these twelve that they are worth knowing individually. Figures are the live MLS® feed and City of Edmonton open data, so they move with the market rather than with whoever last edited this page.

Reading the two categories
Developing and Redeveloping are the City of Edmonton’s own classifications, and they separate these neighbourhoods more usefully than price does.
Developing — new land, new houses
Built out recently or still building. Expect a newer house, a smaller lot, young trees, and neighbours who arrived about when you did.
Windermere, Keswick, Laurel, Cameron Heights (Edmonton), Chappelle Area, Summerside, Alces, Quarry Ridge, Hays Ridge Area.
Redeveloping — established streets
Long-established neighbourhoods where the expensive listings are usually new infill replacing an original home. You get the mature street and the larger lot; the house itself may be newer than anything in the suburbs.
Glenora, Westmount, Parkview, Downtown (Edmonton), Crestwood, Highlands (Edmonton), Windsor Park (Edmonton), Oleskiw, Wîhkwêntôwin, Strathcona, Strathearn, Bonnie Doon, Garneau, Grovenor, Grandview Heights (Edmonton).
What this ranking is, and is not
It counts what is on the market today, not what sold, and not what is worth the most per foot. A neighbourhood with three listings can be more expensive than one with twenty — Crestwood is the clearest example on the list.
It also moves. These figures come from the live MLS® feed and are rebuilt with the rest of the site, so the order here is the order today rather than the order whenever someone last edited the page.
Frequently asked questions
Which Edmonton neighbourhood has the most homes at this level?
Windermere, with 21 on the market as this page was built. Volume and price are different questions though — several smaller neighbourhoods carry a higher median.
Is it better to buy new or in an established neighbourhood?
It depends which you cannot add later. A new house can be renovated into an old one’s character eventually; a 40 cm tree canopy and a 700 m² lot cannot be added at all. Buyers who care most about the street usually end up in the Redeveloping list, and buyers who care most about the house end up in the Developing one.
Does this include the surrounding municipalities?
No. This page is Edmonton only. St. Albert and Sherwood Park both have an executive tier, but it sits lower — their strength is around $750,000 — so they are covered separately rather than diluting this ranking.
How often is this updated?
Every time the site rebuilds, which is several times a day. The ranking is generated from the feed rather than maintained by hand.
Before you shortlist
The table narrows the city to a handful of neighbourhoods; it cannot tell you which one suits how you actually live. That part is worth a conversation.
