Business mix & how this is counted

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.

Green-space types & notes
Types of green space:
- Natural area4
- City park1
- 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 River Valley Hermitage today. The nearest station is Clareview (Capital Line), about 1.2 km away (straight-line).
Looking ahead, the nearest future stop is MacEwan Arts / 112 Street on the Valley Line West, about 8.6 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.

Transit notes
No ETS bus stops fall inside River Valley Hermitage.
Bus routes and frequency come from the City's ETS GTFS schedule — the routes whose trips call at stops inside River Valley Hermitage, 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 -11% from 2012 to 2025.
That tracks River Valley Hermitage's condos — largely the same homes throughout — so it's a real value change, not a shifting mix.
Building activity
Since 2021: 2 building permits, no net change in the home count.
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.
