Thorncliff

Thorncliff, nestled in the west of Edmonton, neighbors the vibrant Summerlea district, famous for the iconic West Edmonton Mall. Its boundaries are defined by 87th Avenue to the north, 170th Street to the east, Whitemud Drive to the south, and 178th Street to the west. Developed primarily in the 1970s, Thorncliff boasts a mix of high-density multi-unit buildings, particularly concentrated along its collector road in the southwest. Meanwhile, single-detached homes encircle the central school and park site, creating a cozy residential ambiance. The neighborhood’s central location facilitates easy access to schools, commercial facilities, and nearby amenities, ensuring convenience for its residents. Thorncliff’s name itself was a thoughtful suggestion by the dedicated developers who crafted the neighborhood’s character back in the 1970s.
