Allendale
Allendale is one of Edmonton's older inner-south neighbourhoods, situated between Whyte Avenue and 51 Avenue on the east side of 109 Street. Developed in the early 20th century, Allendale has a history and character that predates many of the communities around it, and the housing stock reflects that longer timeline — a mix of older character homes, mid-century bungalows, and more recent infill that has arrived as the neighbourhood's central location has attracted increasing buyer attention.
What to know about Allendale.
Allendale is one of Edmonton's older inner-south neighbourhoods, situated between Whyte Avenue and 51 Avenue on the east side of 109 Street. Developed in the early 20th century, Allendale has a history and character that predates many of the communities around it, and the housing stock reflects that longer timeline — a mix of older character homes, mid-century bungalows, and more recent infill that has arrived as the neighbourhood's central location has attracted increasing buyer attention.
The community sits close to the university area and the Strathcona district, giving it proximity to some of Edmonton's most desirable destinations without being immediately adjacent to their price premiums. The housing variety in Allendale is genuine: buyers can find older craftsman-influenced character homes alongside more recent two-storey infill and some apartment buildings, with price points that span a meaningful range. Lot sizes vary with the era of construction, and some of the older lots are notably generous.
The Mill Creek Ravine is accessible from the neighbourhood's eastern edge, providing trail access into Edmonton's southeast ravine system. Whyte Avenue is within walkable or cycling distance to the north. Transit along multiple corridors connects the neighbourhood to the LRT and the broader Edmonton network. Schools in the area serve the neighbourhood across public and Catholic catchments.
The community league is active, and the neighbourhood has seen growing interest from buyers who have discovered that Allendale's proximity to Strathcona — and its direct access to the Mill Creek Ravine — can be accessed at prices below what the immediately adjacent communities command.
For buyers, Allendale is an underappreciated inner-south neighbourhood with genuine character and location advantages. For sellers, an improving buyer awareness of the neighbourhood's value proposition is steadily expanding the market and supporting appreciation.
