What the numbers mean

  • The median 2026 assessment is $190K (valued July 2025). Indexed to September 2026 with the Edmonton MLS® Home Price Index (-1%), that is about $188K, 55% below the Edmonton median of $417K. Property tax is still based on the assessment.
  • 56% of households rent, well above the 37% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
  • Housing is a mix: 49% apartments, with the rest townhouses, duplexes and houses.
  • Building activity is lighter than the city as a whole, at about 2 permits a year.
