Neighbourhoods

Abbottsfield

Abbottsfield was once owned by E.F. Carey, one of Edmonton's most prominent 19th centurycitizens. Located in the City's northeast and annexed City in 1961, actual development begannearly a decade later when a landfill on the site was transformed into Rundle Park. Aneighbourhood of mainly multi-family dwellings, Abbottsfield is popular with young families for itsaccess to the City's employment and commercial centres.

Albany

Alberta Avenue

One of the city's older residential neighbourhoods, Alberta Avenue is located in the inner city. A strong commercial element exists along three of its major traffic corridors, while the streets linedwith mature trees and the variety of housing styles -- mostly on small residential lots -- reflect theneighbourhood's WWI-era development.

Alberta Park Industrial

This non-residential neighbourhood is largely commercial or industrial in nature.

Aldergrove

Planned in the 1970s, this area's multi-family dwellings on smaller lots were designed to helppreserve agricultural land and conserve energy. Half of the homes in the area are single-familydwellings. Part of the West Jasper Place district, Aldergrove has a higher than average populationunder the age of 20.

Allendale

Once farmed by the Allen family, this area was annexed by the City of Strathcona in 1907 andbecame part of Edmonton in 1912 when Strathcona and Edmonton amalgamated. Predominatelya single-family residential neighbourhood, Allendale is south-centrally located and has goodaccess to a number of amenities (including the University of Alberta, Southgate Shopping Centre,and the vibrant Whyte Avenue area).

Ambleside

The name Ambleside most likely originates from a town of the same name located in Cumbria, England. Bus service to Ambleside was created in October 2007 on Route 324 by the Edmonton Transit System during peak hours only. The main roadway into the neighbourhood is Windermere Boulevard. Once complete, the neighbourhood will include a mixed-use commercial centre designed as a neighbourhood focal point, and a series of parks, pathways and institutional facilities which will be integrated strategically with residential development.
