Lauderdale

Nestled north of the bustling Yellowhead corridor and west of the vibrant 97th Street, Lauderdale offers easy connectivity to Edmonton’s various locales. Despite being part of Edmonton since 1913, Lauderdale’s vibrant development unfolded mainly in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Single-detached houses stand as the neighborhood’s hallmark, constituting about half of its cozy dwelling units, with the remainder scattered among semi-detached homes, row houses, and apartments. Anchored by a central school and park site, Lauderdale fosters a warm community spirit, complemented by ample recreation space, particularly in its western expanse, where the City of Edmonton has crafted the Grand Trunk Recreational Centre. Along its eastern fringe lies a vibrant commercial strip, contributing to Lauderdale’s vibrant charm. Named after the pioneering James Lauder, whose legacy and bakery business left an indelible mark on the neighborhood’s rich history, Lauderdale embodies the timeless allure of Edmonton’s evolving landscape.
