How long people stay

3% of residents had moved within the previous year; 15% lived at a different address five years earlier.

Counts every change of address — moves within Westridge, into it, owners and renters alike.

Housing costs & affordability

A household earning the local median income would put about 11% of it toward typical owner shelter costs here.

Typical owner shelter cost

$1,640/mo

51% of owners hold a mortgage

Affordability in detail

Households spending 30% or more of their own income on their own shelter — the standard affordability-stress measure: 9.4% of owner 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): 0% of owners.

Owners' own estimate of their home's value (2021): $600,000 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.

Schools

3 designated public schools. Edmonton Public catchment for Westridge: Patricia Heights, Hillcrest and Jasper Place.

All schools, levels & catchment notes

Designated public schools (Edmonton Public Schools catchment for Westridge):

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 business in Westridge, employing roughly 20 people.

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 49% of licences here). Landlord rental licences are excluded, and a listing isn't an endorsement.

Parks & green space

8 parks (31 hectares) and 2 playgrounds in Westridge — includes a natural area.

Green-space types & notes

Types of green space:

  • Pocket park6
  • Natural area1
  • Urban village 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 Westridge today. The nearest station is South Campus Ft Edmonton (Capital Line), about 4.8 km away (straight-line).

Looking ahead, the nearest future stop is Misericordia on the Valley Line West, about 1.7 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

Bus-route data isn't available for Westridge yet.

Bus routes and frequency come from the City's ETS GTFS schedule — the routes whose trips call at stops inside Westridge, 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 +18% from 2012 to 2025.

That tracks Westridge's houses — largely the same homes throughout — so it's a real value change, not a shifting mix.

$535,000 $630,000 2012201620212025

Building activity

Since 2015: 127 building permits, about 3 net new homes, and 1 secondary-suite permit.

Of those new units, roughly 100% are individually-owned (houses + condos), 0% purpose-built rental, and 0% in mixed-use buildings.

Owned

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.
