Terrace Heights

Terrace Heights occupies land originally surveyed as part of River Lots 31 and 33 and a quarter section held by D. McLeod, a Hudson Bay Company worker turned sawmill operator. The area saw slow development until annexed by Edmonton in two stages, first in 1954 and then in 1959. The neighborhood’s growth commenced north of 101 Avenue after the initial annexation, with development south of the avenue following in 1959. It comprises two low-density residential zones divided by a corridor hosting high-density residential and commercial spaces along 101 Avenue. Terrace Heights provides convenient access to major shopping hubs like Capilano Mall and features a northern residential area adjacent to the Capilano Ravine, enriching the neighborhood with natural beauty and recreational opportunities. Its name derives from a historic subdivision established in 1912, which was revived and formalized during the neighborhood’s redevelopment in the 1950s.
