Some semi-detached and multi-family housing provides additional variety.

Prices are accessible to moderate within the northwest Edmonton market.
The Lake District and Castle Downs commercial areas provide retail and services access. The lakes and storm ponds of the Lake District create a natural landscape backdrop throughout the community. Transit connects the neighbourhood to the broader Edmonton network. Schools serve the community across northwest Edmonton public and Catholic catchments. The community league maintains outdoor recreation facilities and programming.
For buyers, Lorelei offers northwest Edmonton family living in the Lake District's natural setting at accessible to moderate prices. For sellers, consistent family demand from buyers attracted to the northwest's established community character and the Lake District's natural amenity creates reliable market conditions for well-maintained properties.
