The housing stock is predominantly single-family detached homes from the late 1970s and 1980s, with the generally larger format that distinguishes homes from this era compared to the earlier post-war communities further east. Two-car garages, more generous lot sizes, and family-oriented floor plans characterize the housing. Renovation activity has been consistent, and properties range from thoroughly updated to those offering renovation potential. Prices are accessible within the west Edmonton market.
