Laurel

The charming Laurel neighborhood is framed by 23 Avenue to the north, 34th Street to the west, 17th Street to the east, and the Anthony Henday Drive to the south, offering a well-connected enclave within Edmonton. With the adoption of the Laurel Neighbourhood Structure Plan in July 2007, a journey of development commenced, steadily progressing to shape the community. Upon its completion, Laurel is envisioned to harmoniously blend low density and medium density housing options, creating a diverse residential landscape. Designed to foster a balanced lifestyle, the neighborhood plans to integrate four stormwater management ponds and two school-park sites, enhancing recreational opportunities for residents. Embracing connectivity, a landscaped multi-use path traverses the neighborhood, flanking the long pipeline and facilitating pedestrian and cycling commutes. While Laurel foregoes commercial spaces within its confines, its strategic proximity to the Anthony Henday ensures swift access to the city’s vibrant amenities and services, embodying the essence of modern suburban living. Reflecting its serene ambiance, Laurel takes its name from the Laurel Willow, an emblem of resilience and verdant beauty, symbolizing the enduring allure of nature’s bounty.
