McCauley
McCauley is one of Edmonton's most historically significant inner-city neighbourhoods and one of its most culturally diverse. Located north of Downtown, bounded roughly by 101 Avenue to the south, 118 Avenue to the north, 97 Street to the east, and 109 Street to the west, McCauley sits at the intersection of several of Edmonton's most important cultural corridors — Chinatown, Little Italy, and the 118 Avenue arts and business district all have a presence within or immediately adjacent to this neighbourhood.
What to know about McCauley.
McCauley is one of Edmonton's most historically significant inner-city neighbourhoods and one of its most culturally diverse. Located north of Downtown, bounded roughly by 101 Avenue to the south, 118 Avenue to the north, 97 Street to the east, and 109 Street to the west, McCauley sits at the intersection of several of Edmonton's most important cultural corridors — Chinatown, Little Italy, and the 118 Avenue arts and business district all have a presence within or immediately adjacent to this neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood developed early in Edmonton's history and retains a mix of housing types: older single-family homes and duplexes, low-rise apartment buildings, and newer infill. Affordability has historically been one of McCauley's defining features, making it an accessible entry point into the inner city for first-time buyers and investors. Revitalization investment has been ongoing, and the neighbourhood has seen increasing interest from buyers attracted by character, location, and relative value compared to adjacent communities.
The Royal Alexandra Hospital sits on McCauley's western boundary, providing a significant employment anchor. MacEwan University is within easy walking distance. LRT access is close, and Downtown is reachable on foot or by transit. The community league is active and has been a consistent force in neighbourhood advocacy.
For buyers looking for genuine inner-city character at accessible price points, McCauley offers significant opportunity — particularly in older homes with renovation potential. For sellers, the neighbourhood's ongoing revitalization trajectory and proximity to employment, transit, and Downtown support a steady and growing buyer pool.
