Rio Terrace
Rio Terrace, once part of Jasper Place, joined Edmonton in 1964 and enjoys a picturesque location bounded by the North Saskatchewan River Valley to the south and a tranquil ravine to the north. The neighborhood predominantly features single-detached homes, the majority of which were constructed in the 1960s, exuding a timeless charm. Community essentials such as an elementary school, community league, church, and park enhance the quality of life for residents, all centrally located for convenience. While commercial ventures are absent within Rio Terrace itself, the bustling amenities of Edmonton are easily accessible via Whitemud Drive. Across the river lies the historic Fort Edmonton Park, adding to the area’s allure. The name “Rio Terrace,” likely coined in 1958, aptly reflects its scenic perch overlooking the North Saskatchewan River Valley, with “rio” evoking the beauty of the river landscape.
