Ormsby Place

In West Edmonton, Ormsby Place is surrounded by neighboring residential areas and flanked by notable landmarks such as the Transportation Utility Corridor (TUC) to the west and Callingwood Road to the south. Development in Ormsby Place began flourishing during the dynamic periods of the 1970s and 1980s, extending its growth trajectory well into the early 2000s. The neighborhood’s evolution occurred in two distinct phases, with the eastern and western sections bearing unique layouts and characteristics.
In the western sector, streets elegantly curve from the central Ormsby Road, creating an inviting atmosphere where homes encircle a central park space. Conversely, the eastern part showcases loop and cul-de-sac roads, interconnected by smaller collector roads, fostering a cozy ambiance for residents. Ormsby Place offers a diverse range of housing options, with single-detached dwellings prevailing, complemented by row housing units and low-rise apartments. The community’s namesake, A. W. Ormsby, is honored for his pivotal role in shaping Edmonton’s urban planning and infrastructure.
