Skyrattler
Skyrattler is a southwest Edmonton neighbourhood in the Kaskitayo plan area, bounded east by 111 Street, north by 23 Avenue and west and south by the Blackmud Creek ravine. Annexed in 1974, it stayed undeveloped apart from a seminary campus built from 1967. The name honours Chief Skyrattler of the Winterburn band, who led the band when Edmonton became a city in 1904.
What to know about Skyrattler.
Skyrattler is a southwest Edmonton neighbourhood in the Kaskitayo plan area, bounded east by 111 Street, north by 23 Avenue and west and south by the Blackmud Creek ravine. Annexed in 1974, it stayed undeveloped apart from a seminary campus built from 1967. The name honours Chief Skyrattler of the Winterburn band, who led the band when Edmonton became a city in 1904.
Curvilinear streets with limited access to arterial roads give the area a quiet, enclosed feel around a combined school and park site. Row housing and low-rise apartments dominate the stock, most built in the late 1970s against the ravine, with most single-detached houses arriving in the 1980s. Part of the school site was declared surplus and rezoned for low-density housing in 2008.
Keheewin School, an Edmonton Public elementary, serves Skyrattler and its neighbours; confirm your address with the school division's attendance finder, because boundaries change. Century Park station on the Capital Line, at 111 Street and 23 Avenue, sits off the northeast corner, with ETS buses on 111 Street and the Capital Line South extension underway. Shopping is a plaza on Saddleback Road, the only commercial site, and the Blackmud Creek ravine greenway carries the trail network.
For buyers, Skyrattler offers a mature southwest address with ravine access, LRT at the northeast corner and a mix of apartment, row-house and detached options. For sellers, that mix means competing complexes nearby. The quiet street pattern also means a car or bus for most errands, with shopping limited to the local plaza and nearby centres.
