Neighbourhoods / Historic Luxury / Laurier Heights
Laurier Heights sits along the North Saskatchewan River valley in west Edmonton, tucked between 87 Avenue, Buena Vista Road, 149 Street and Whitemud Drive. It is one of the city's most established river valley communities, known for mature trees, quiet curving streets and a setting that feels far removed from the pace of the city while remaining minutes from downtown.
Most homes in Laurier Heights were built between 1946 and 1960, giving the neighbourhood a character that newer communities simply cannot replicate. Today's listings range widely, from updated mid century bungalows to newer custom builds, with prices spanning roughly $500,000 to $1.5 million or more depending on lot size, river valley proximity and the extent of renovation.
The neighbourhood's biggest draw may be its access to green space. Buena Vista Park and the trail network connecting to Hawrelak Park sit right at Laurier Heights' doorstep, offering river valley walking and biking paths, picnic areas and some of the best natural scenery in the city, all without leaving the neighbourhood.
Laurier Heights Community League, established in 1958, has anchored neighbourhood life here for decades, organizing everything from skating and tennis to seasonal events that keep long time residents and newer families connected.
The location also delivers real convenience. The University of Alberta and Misericordia Community Hospital are both a short drive away, making Laurier Heights a popular choice for university staff, medical professionals and anyone who wants river valley living without sacrificing access to the city's core institutions.
