What to know about West Meadowlark Park.
West Meadowlark Park is a residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, bounded by 170 Street, 163 Street, 87 Avenue and 95 Avenue, just east of West Edmonton Mall. Part of the Town of Jasper Place until Edmonton annexed it in 1964, it developed from the 1960s into the 1980s and is named for the western meadowlark, a songbird common across south and central Alberta in summer.
Mostly single-detached, the housing was built between the 1960s and early 1980s on Jasper Place's curvilinear street pattern. Row houses and low-rise apartments make up a large share of dwellings, so tenure and form are genuinely mixed; many homes stay owner-occupied while those segments carry a rental presence.
Facilities are rich here. Four schools serve the neighbourhood: Afton Elementary and Jasper Place High, plus Annunciation Catholic Elementary and St. Francis Xavier High; confirm your address against the school division's attendance finder, since boundaries change. Misericordia Community Hospital and a cluster of sports and recreation facilities anchor the southwest and east edges. There is no LRT; ETS buses serve the area, with shopping along 170 Street and West Edmonton Mall.
For buyers, the neighbourhood offers space, mature trees and a rare cluster of schools, recreation and health services, but much of the housing is mid-century, so expect dated systems and floor plans needing updates, and no LRT in the community. For sellers, those anchors and the west-end location draw families, downsizers and renters, though newer subdivisions and buyers' focus on condition keep pricing sharp.
