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.

The market
Assessed value over time, and recent building activity.
Assessed value over time
Median assessed value changed -3% from 2012 to 2025.
That tracks Rural North East South Sturgeon's houses — largely the same homes throughout — so it's a real value change, not a shifting mix.
Building activity
Since 2015: 18 building permits, about 3 net new homes.
Of those new units, roughly 100% are individually-owned (houses + condos), 0% purpose-built rental, and 0% in mixed-use buildings.
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.
