Rundle Heights

Back in 1882, what we now know as Rundle Heights was just two land holdings northeast of Edmonton, near the Town of Beverly. While some parts saw early development, much remained rural until Edmonton annexed the area in 1961. Residential growth started in the southwest, with row housing and apartments in the 1960s, then expanded to include single-detached homes in the early 1970s, along with more apartments and row houses in the north. The neighborhood’s layout, with its curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs, reflects post-1960s subdivision trends. Today, Rundle Heights boasts an educational and recreational hub at its center, with commercial establishments conveniently situated off 118 Avenue, including those in the nearby Abbottsfield Mall. Its name pays homage to Reverend Robert Rundle, Edmonton’s first protestant missionary, known for his significant contributions to the area’s early history.
