What the numbers mean

  • The median assessed home is $400K, close to the Edmonton median of $422K.
  • 78% of households rent, well above the 37% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
  • 66% of homes are apartments (31% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
  • Building activity is in line with the city as a whole, at about 82 permits a year.
