What to know about Larkspur.
The Larkspur neighbourhood is located within the Meadows Area of southeast Edmonton. Larkspur is situated east of the Mill Woods neighbourhoods and south of Whitemud Drive. It is bounded by Whitemud Drive to the north, 17th Street to the east, 38th Avenue to the south, and 34th Street to the west. A plan for the area was adopted by City Council in 1987. The neighbourhood began developing in the late 1980s, and most residential construction was completed by the 2000s.
The residential component of the neighbourhood is dominated by single-detached housing, with some multi-family land parcels. The neighbourhood was designed to provide a range of services and amenities to residents along a clear, hierarchical, internal road system. A pipeline corridor runs the north-south length of the neighbourhood, which has been transformed into a linear park through Larkspur. A large commercial area is located along 17th Street and fills the southeastern corner of the neighbourhood. A school and park site is located in the centre of the neighbourhood, and adjacent surplus school lands are being redeveloped for first time home buyers.
Larkspur was named after an ornamental wildflower plant that blooms in many colours. All neighbourhoods in the Meadows area are named after plants and flowers.

Each division publishes an address lookup because attendance areas change. The City neighbourhood profile describes parks, housing and streets. It is not a school-boundary map.
