If you’ve been watching the Edmonton real‑estate market, you already know the city is poised for another strong year. With tech expansion downtown, major infrastructure upgrades, and Alberta’s continued population growth, several neighbourhoods are heating up fast. As a local Realtor®, I’ve pulled the latest sales data, price trends, and community plans to help you pinpoint the best places to buy before home values surge in 2025.
1. Keswick on the River & Keswick Landing (Southwest)
Why it’s hot:
Rapid build‑out of single‑family, duplex, and luxury river‑view lots.
New Dr. Anne Anderson high school + brand‑new K‑9 school scheduled for 2025.
Easy Anthony Henday access and the future Terwillegar LRT extension.
Price snapshot: Detached homes averaged $640 K in Q1 2024—up 7 % year‑over‑year but still below nearby Windermere. Expect continued appreciation as retail space and parks complete next year.
2. Blatchford (Central)
Why it’s hot:
Edmonton’s flagship carbon‑neutral community on the former City Centre Airport lands.
Geo‑exchange heating, pedestrian‑first design, and a planned LRT station at your doorstep.
Townhomes and condos starting in the mid‑$400 K range—rare pricing for a walkable, inner‑city location.
Future upside: Only a small portion of Blatchford’s 30‑year master plan is built. Early buyers could see significant equity gains as amenities, retail, and parks come online.
3. Marquis & Fraser Vista (North‑East)
Why it’s hot:
Brand‑new schools, rec centres, and direct access to Anthony Henday Drive.
Larger lots at entry‑level prices (detached homes from the low $500 K’s).
Close to Edmonton Energy & Technology Park—set to create 10,000+ jobs over the next decade.
Investor appeal: Basement‑suite‑ready floor plans and low vacancy rates make Marquis a top pick for cash‑flow rentals.
4. Glenora & Westmount Infill Pockets (Central‑West)
Why it’s hot:
Increased zoning flexibility for skinny homes, duplexes, and garden suites.
Five‑minute drive to downtown, the Royal Alberta Museum, and the river valley trail system.
Average detached prices hit $775 K in 2024, but older bungalows on 50‑ft lots still list around $550 K—prime infill opportunities.
Pro tip: A well‑designed infill here can command $1 M+ resale in under two years.
5. Secord & Rosenthal (West)
Why it’s hot:
New LRT extension and the Valley Line West coming in 2027.
Upcoming Lewis Farms Recreation Centre will add massive lifestyle value.
Family‑friendly streets, playgrounds, and quick Whitemud/Henday commutes.
Price watch: Row homes in the mid‑$300 K’s and detached under $600 K—still a bargain versus nearby The Hamptons.
6. Sherbrooke & Prince Charles (North‑Central)
Why it’s hot:
Early‑1940s character homes on large lots ripe for renovation or secondary suites.
Close to NAIT, Kingsway Mall, and the mighty Brewery District.
2024 saw a 9 % jump in average sale price, but the median still sits under $400 K.
Investor angle: High student and hospital staff demand = dependable rental income.
Key Takeaways for 2025 Buyers
Interest rates may stabilize, but supply in these hotspots remains tight—early offers win.
Focus on future infrastructure—LRT lines, new schools, and recreation centres drive appreciation.
Consider legal basement suites or garden suites for extra cash flow in zones that now allow them city‑wide.
