Rutherford

In southwest Edmonton lies the evolving neighborhood of Rutherford, nestled within the Heritage Valley Servicing Concept Design Brief area. With boundaries defined by Ellerslie Road to the north and 25th Avenue to the south, Rutherford is still taking shape, transitioning from its agricultural roots to a mix of housing types, recreational spaces, and commercial areas. The community’s design prioritizes accessibility, with multi-family housing strategically placed near amenities and transit services. A central school and park site, along with several smaller green spaces like Virginia Park Woodland, offer residents places to gather and unwind. Rutherford’s name honors Alexander Cameron Rutherford, Alberta’s inaugural premier, whose contributions to education and governance have left a lasting legacy in the region.
