Malmo Plains

Malmo Plains, nestled between major arterials and a freeway, offers a tranquil residential setting in southwest Edmonton. While boasting a central school and park site, it also provides easy access to amenities at nearby Southgate Mall. The neighborhood, part of Edmonton’s Mature Neighbourhood Overlay, developed in the 1960s, features a diverse housing mix, including single and semi-detached homes, row houses, and low to high-rise apartment buildings. With its predominant single-detached housing and plans for multi-family development, Malmo Plains ensures a blend of living options. Its name, derived from the soil type “malmo,” reflects its historical connection to the University of Alberta research farm, a nod suggested by Fred Bently, the university’s dean of agriculture.
