Edmonton has taken the next step in the river valley evolution. The development of West Rossdale will bring residents closer to nature with pedestrian friendly streets, property enhancements and new condominiums, while preserving the area’s existing open spaces and parks.

Currently, the plan also includes the placement of an esplanade along the northern riverbank with river and dock access. Developed in 2008, the West Rossdale Plan was created with the vision of carefully integrating downtown Edmonton, the river and surrounding neighbourhoods. West Rossdale would serve as a main gateway to Edmonton’s downtown core.

The West Rossdale development plan will continue to respect the existing history and archeological significance in the community of Rossdale. As one of Edmonton’s oldest neighbourhoods, Rossdale was originally home to two fur trading forts in 1802. The community has transformed over the years with the removal of mature structures and vacant properties. The Rossdale housing market is made up of single-detached homes, semi-detached triplex and fourplex, row homes, apartments over five stories and apartments under five stories. The average asking price of a Rossdale home is $432,300. West Rossdale’s housing portfolio would include a large variety of housing forms and densities, as well as nearby amenities and retail services.

West Rossdale residents can expect a pedestrian friendly neighbourhood with scenic tree-lined streets, generously wide sidewalks with seating furniture, bicycle racks and bus stops. West Rossdale will be located at the heart of three river crossings: Low level bridge, 98th avenue and 105th Street NW, which means easy travel to areas south of the river for residents.

Schools located near the future development of West Rossdale and the community of Rossdale are: Grandin Catholic School (Catholic Elementary) | Oliver School (Public School) |Centre High Campus (Contining Education)
