Ellerslie

What to know about Ellerslie.

Ellerslie takes its name from the historic hamlet that once occupied this area before Edmonton's expansion absorbed the southeast agricultural lands. The original Ellerslie community dated to the late 1800s, and today the neighbourhood and surrounding area honour that heritage while delivering entirely contemporary residential development. The broader Ellerslie area south of the Anthony Henday has become one of Edmonton's most active residential growth zones, with multiple new communities developing simultaneously across a large area.

Residential development in the Ellerslie area covers the full spectrum of contemporary housing types: detached single-family homes, semi-detached properties, townhomes, and multi-family condos — all built to current Edmonton construction standards with the open layouts, energy-efficient systems, and design elements that today's buyers expect. Development is ongoing, with active builder presence across multiple sub-communities. The range of housing types and construction stages makes the area accessible across a broad range of buyer budgets.

The 23 Avenue corridor and the Anthony Henday provide the primary commercial and road access framework for the area. The Currents of Windermere is the area's premier commercial destination, with grocery, dining, cinema, and a broad range of services. Schools are developing across multiple sites to serve the growing population. Healthcare access via the Millard Health campus supports the community infrastructure.

For buyers, the Ellerslie area represents southeast Edmonton's newest and most dynamic residential opportunity — contemporary construction, growing amenity infrastructure, and the ring road connectivity that supports a south Edmonton lifestyle. For sellers in this area, the active builder market creates competition, but well-maintained properties with upgraded finishes and strong lot positions consistently find motivated buyers.
