Grovenor
Grovenor, an established neighborhood with roots dating back to the 1910s, witnessed gradual development spurred by various factors like the pre-WWI land boom and railway expansion. While single-detached residences dominate, redevelopment since the 1960s introduced duplexes and low-rise apartments, fostering a diverse housing landscape. Infill projects have further enriched the community’s architectural tapestry, ensuring a blend of housing types and styles across decades.
Commercial amenities along Stony Plain Road and 149th Street cater to residents’ needs, offering convenience within reach. The scenic McKinnon Ravine, bordering the neighborhood’s southern edge, provides serene pathways and trails, connecting residents to the picturesque North Saskatchewan River Valley. Following World War II, the name Grovenor gained prominence, though its exact origin remains a mystery.
