About Highlands

Highlands is one of Edmonton’s classic inner-northeast river valley neighbourhoods, known for mature tree-lined streets, early- to mid-20th-century character homes, and a strong community feel. It attracts a mix of long-time owners, young professional households, and families who value walkable local streets, proximity to the river valley trail system, and quick access to downtown. Commercial amenities are largely “neighbourhood-scale,” with daily needs typically served via nearby 112 Avenue/Highlands-area shops and larger retail and services a short drive away along 118 Avenue, Gretzky Drive, or in adjacent communities.

For families, Highlands is served by local public schools such as Highlands School (EPSB) and has convenient access to additional programs and schools in surrounding neighbourhoods. Transit connectivity is solid for an inner-city area, with frequent bus service to downtown and easy driving access via Wayne Gretzky Drive and Ada Boulevard; cycling and recreation are major draws thanks to immediate river valley access. Real estate is primarily detached housing with some infill and small multi-family options; investor demand is typically strongest for well-located bungalows suited to secondary suites and for newer infill in the higher-demand pockets. Pricing has generally benefited from Edmonton’s recent upswing, though the neighbourhood’s character-home premium and renovation costs can compress yields relative to more purely “cash-flow” areas.
