Donnelly, Alberta
As of October 1, 2026, Donnelly has 2 active MLS® listings.
A tiny rural residential area in northern Alberta
Donnelly is for people who want rural space and quiet, and accept driving for most needs.
The area reads as agricultural-region residential: low-density homes, farm residences, and properties where the setting matters as much as the house. The appeal is breathing room and a calmer pace than busier centres nearby; it is not a place for walkable errands, frequent transit, or an amenity-heavy main street.
The area’s identity is tied to a rural, acreage-oriented character with low-density homes and farm residences rather than dense housing.
It offers a small-community setting where daily life tends to be calmer and more privacy-leaning than in larger service centres.
It sits among nearby places like Falher and McLennan, with Peace River as the larger regional destination for broader services.
The lifestyle here is naturally outdoors-focused, with the wider Peace River region shaping recreation more than local commercial amenities.
Housing in Donnelly is predominantly low-density single-family homes and farm residences, reflecting its rural, acreage-oriented character. The built form reads as residential properties where the overall setting and day-to-day practicality are central to the appeal.
A typical home is a detached house on a rural-style residential property rather than a multi-unit format.
Weekends in the area tend to revolve around quiet time at home and outdoor-oriented activities in the broader Peace River region rather than a local strip of shops. Plans and social life often look outward to nearby centres for errands and services.
Look past the house itself and evaluate how the property functions in a rural, driving-dependent context. The practical details of ownership and access to services tend to matter as much as finishes.
With a Walk Score of 9/100 and Bike Score of 31/100, plan on driving for most shopping, services, and appointments. Confirm that your day-to-day needs align with relying on nearby centres.
Properties here can be as much about the overall use and layout as the house. Make sure the site setup matches how you intend to live on it, especially if you’re prioritizing space and separation.
A nearby school option is Georges P Vanier School. For any address, confirm the current attendance and program details directly with the relevant school authority.
Groceries, healthcare, and broader retail are typically reached by driving to places such as Falher, McLennan, and Peace River. Factor those regular trips into how you assess the home’s overall fit.

Donnelly offers a very small, rural residential setting with an acreage-oriented feel and a housing mix dominated by detached homes and farm residences. Its trade-off is straightforward: limited local amenities and low walkability, with most needs met by driving to nearby centres such as Falher, McLennan, and Peace River. It’s compelling for buyers who prioritize space and rural character, and a weak match for anyone prioritizing walkable convenience.
This description is compiled from the figures above and from published sources. It is not a statistic.
Donnelly’s for-sale market is very small right now, with just 2 active listings and a median asking price of $152,450, reflecting a range of housing options across the community rather than a single uniform price point. With listings averaging 187 days on market so far, current sellers appear to be holding inventory longer, giving buyers and investors added leverage and time to compare properties across different parts of the city and negotiate on price or terms.
