Affordability in detail
Households spending 30% or more of their own income on their own shelter — the standard affordability-stress measure: 12.4% of owner households · 22% of renter households. (Different from the headline above, which compares the median cost against the median income — a typical-household what-if, not a count of stretched households.)
In core housing need (unaffordable, unsuitable or inadequate, with no affordable local alternative): 3% of owners · 0% of renters.
Owners' own estimate of their home's value (2021): $800,000 median — self-reported, so it can differ from the assessed medians above.
Owner costs reflect current owners — including long-time, mortgage-free ones — not the cost to buy in today. The income-share figures compare 2020 median household income with shelter costs reported in 2021.

Independent / private schools aren't in the City's open data, so they aren't listed here. School-quality ratings are published separately by the Fraser Institute (not affiliated with this site).

Business mix & how this is counted
From the City's business census (2025 survey).
The mix of what's here, from currently-licensed businesses:
Counts come from City of Edmonton business licences and the City's business census — a licence means a business is registered at an address here, not a guarantee it's open today , and includes home-based businesses (about 55% of licences here). Landlord rental licences are excluded, and a listing isn't an endorsement.

Green-space types & notes
Types of green space:
- School & community 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.
Transit & connectivity
No LRT line in Belgravia today. The nearest station is McKernan Belgravia (Capital Line), about 450 m away (straight-line). The neighbourhood is served by 2 bus routes.
Looking ahead, the nearest future stop is Brewery / 120 Street on the Valley Line West, about 3.8 km from the centre — under construction, targeted to open later this decade. Timelines can slip, and a nearby line doesn't imply any change in property values.

Bus routes & notes
2 bus routes serve Belgravia: 4 and 654. They run from 8 boardable stops inside the neighbourhood.
No route here meets the frequent-service bar (≈ 15-minute weekday headway).
Bus routes and frequency come from the City's ETS GTFS schedule — the routes whose trips call at stops inside Belgravia, with “frequent” meaning at least 100 weekday trips through the neighbourhood (about a bus every 15 minutes or better, counting both directions). Distances are straight-line (“as the crow flies”) from the neighbourhood centre — the actual walking or driving route is longer. Future stations are under construction; their locations and timelines come from City of Edmonton project pages and can change. Day-to-day commute mode (drive / transit / walk) is shown under “Who lives here.” Source: City of Edmonton LRT & ETS (GTFS) Open Data.
The market
Assessed value over time, and recent building activity.
Assessed value over time
Median assessed value changed +47% from 2012 to 2025.
That tracks Belgravia's houses — largely the same homes throughout — so it's a real value change, not a shifting mix.
Building activity
Since 2015: 757 building permits, about 270 net new homes, and 63 secondary-suite permits.
Of those new units, roughly 91% are individually-owned (houses + condos), 14% purpose-built rental, and -4% 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. Census figures are adapted from Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population; this does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada.
