Parkdale

Parkdale is embraced by major roadways to the north and south, with residential streets flanking its western border and the CNR/LRT right-of-way defining its eastern edge. Originating from Edmonton’s early streetcar railway, the neighborhood’s development swiftly followed, maintaining its predominantly residential character since then. While single-detached houses prevail, Parkdale boasts a diverse array of housing options, including semi-detached homes, row houses, and apartments, ensuring a vibrant mix of residents.
Enriching the community fabric, two schools with adjoining park spaces and Edgar Millen Park contribute to the neighborhood’s allure. Complementing its residential charm, Parkdale hosts various businesses and commercial ventures along 118 Avenue and at strategic intersections, with industrial properties situated near the CNR/LRT right-of-way. Surrounded by a tapestry of urban amenities, from the city’s central business district to the bustling Commonwealth Stadium and Northlands Exhibition Grounds, Parkdale thrives as a dynamic urban enclave. Its name, likely a nod to its picturesque surroundings, has adorned the neighborhood since 1907.
