Maple Crest
Maple Crest is a newer southeast Edmonton neighbourhood in The Meadows, developed under the Maple Neighbourhood Structure Plan adopted in 2010. It is bounded by Whitemud Drive (Highway 14) to the north, Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) to the east, and a Canadian National rail line to the west separating it from Tamarack. The community was laid out around Fulton Marsh, a large constructed stormwater wetland.
What to know about Maple Crest.
Maple Crest is a newer southeast Edmonton neighbourhood in The Meadows, developed under the Maple Neighbourhood Structure Plan adopted in 2010. It is bounded by Whitemud Drive (Highway 14) to the north, Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) to the east, and a Canadian National rail line to the west separating it from Tamarack. The community was laid out around Fulton Marsh, a large constructed stormwater wetland.
Housing is predominantly 2010s-era construction: detached single-family homes on modest suburban lots with attached garages, plus townhomes and low-rise multi-family that broaden entry-level options. Interiors generally show contemporary open-concept layouts, and few homes have reached the renovation stage of mature areas.
Fulton Marsh and the surrounding park and pathway network form the neighbourhood's green core. The Meadows Community Recreation Centre at 2704 17 Street offers pools, arenas and fitness space. Edmonton Public Schools' Julia Kiniski School (Kindergarten to Grade 6) names Maple Crest in its attendance area. Transit is bus-based via the Meadows Transit Centre; there is no LRT station in the neighbourhood.
For buyers, access is the key issue in Maple Crest. It has few entry points, and the main route, Maple Road, crosses the CN rail line, so a stopped train can delay your trip home. Whitemud and the Anthony Henday are at hand for cross-city driving, and the recent stock suits buyers who want newer construction without a build wait. For sellers, that new-construction profile and family layout keep Maple Crest relevant to first-time and move-up buyers.
