Landlord rental licences are excluded, and a listing isn't an endorsement.

Green-space types & notes
Types of green space:
- Pocket park1
Counts come from the City of Edmonton's parks and playgrounds open data. A park is attributed to the neighbourhood its centre point falls in, so a large park or greenway that spans several areas is counted once — treat boundaries as approximate. Trail corridors appear here as greenways; off-street bike routes aren't included.
Transit & connectivity
No LRT line in Kinokamau Plains Area today. The nearest station is Kingsway RAH (Metro Line), about 8.4 km away (straight-line). The neighbourhood is served by 1 bus route.
Looking ahead, the nearest future stop is Jasper Place on the Valley Line West, about 5.3 km from the centre — under construction, targeted to open later this decade. Timelines can slip, and a nearby line doesn't imply any change in property values.

Bus routes & notes
1 bus route serves Kinokamau Plains Area: 54. They run from 10 boardable stops inside the neighbourhood.
No route here meets the frequent-service bar (≈ 15-minute weekday headway).
Bus routes and frequency come from the City's ETS GTFS schedule — the routes whose trips call at stops inside Kinokamau Plains Area, with “frequent” meaning at least 100 weekday trips through the neighbourhood (about a bus every 15 minutes or better, counting both directions). Distances are straight-line (“as the crow flies”) from the neighbourhood centre — the actual walking or driving route is longer. Future stations are under construction; their locations and timelines come from City of Edmonton project pages and can change. Day-to-day commute mode (drive / transit / walk) is shown under “Who lives here.” Source: City of Edmonton LRT & ETS (GTFS) Open Data.
The market
Assessed value over time, and recent building activity.
Assessed value over time
Median assessed value changed +31% from 2012 to 2025.
That tracks Kinokamau Plains Area's houses — largely the same homes throughout — so it's a real value change, not a shifting mix.
Building activity
Since 2015: 140 building permits, about 7 net new homes.
Of those new units, roughly 86% are individually-owned (houses + condos), 0% purpose-built rental, and 0% in mixed-use buildings (14% other, e.g. hotels).
Split by building type (a strong proxy, not a guarantee of final tenure).
Permits year by year
Permits count every new home built — including purpose-built rental apartments and mixed-use buildings — so this can run well above the "total homes" figure above, which counts only individually-owned houses and condos.

About these figures. They use the City of Edmonton's annual property assessment — its mass-appraisal estimate of value as of July 1 the prior year, informed by that year's sales but applied across the whole roll at once. That makes it a reliable directional and comparative signal (ideal for "how does this neighbourhood compare"), but not the exact price a specific home would sell for today — for that you need a comparative market analysis. Resident demographics and housing-cost figures (income and its distribution, age, education, commute, tenure, household types, shelter costs, occupations and industries, mobility) and the building-type, bedroom and condition mix are from the 2021 federal census — the most recent neighbourhood-level vintage; the City notes it fell during the pandemic, so treat these figures as directional.
