All schools, levels & catchment notes
Designated public schools (Edmonton Public Schools catchment for Mattson):
- Elementary / Junior HighEllerslie CampusK to Gr 9
- Senior HighJ. Percy PageGr 10-12
Catchments are set by the school board and can change — and the City's published catchment data can lag new schools and boundary updates — so confirm the current designated school with Edmonton Public Schools before relying on it.
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).
Shopping & amenities
About 1 currently-licensed business in Mattson.
Business mix & how this is counted
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 50% of licences here). Landlord rental licences are excluded, and a listing isn't an endorsement.
Transit & connectivity
No LRT line in Mattson today. The nearest station is Mill Woods (Valley Line Southeast), about 6.1 km away (straight-line). The neighbourhood is served by 2 bus routes.
Looking ahead, the nearest future stop is Twin Brooks on the Capital Line South, about 6.3 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 Mattson: 521 and 664. They run from 1 boardable stop 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 Mattson, 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
Not enough years of assessment history to chart a value trend here yet.
Building activity
Since 2023: 266 building permits, about 264 net new homes, and 39 secondary-suite permits.
Of those new units, roughly 78% are individually-owned (houses + condos), 22% purpose-built rental, and 0% 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.
