Every current MLS® listing in Sherwood Park with a legal or income-ready secondary suite — basement suites, nanny suites and two-unit homes — plus what they cost and how the rules work in Strathcona County.
Secondary suites for sale in Sherwood Park are one of the most searched-for — and most quickly sold — niches in Strathcona County, because a self-contained second unit turns a house into a home that helps pay for itself. This page pulls together every active listing with a suite, from basement and nanny suites in established neighbourhoods to purpose-built two-unit homes in the newer areas on the east side. The current MLS® listings at the top of this page refresh daily — and the guide below explains what these homes cost, where to find them, what counts as a legal suite in Strathcona County, and what to check before you buy.
The best way to price a suited home is to start from the wider Sherwood Park market and work up. Across all property types, the typical Sherwood Park home changes hands in the high-$400,000s to mid-$500,000s, while a detached house — the kind most likely to carry a legal basement suite — typically sits in the low-to-mid-$600,000s. A home with a finished, self-contained suite almost always prices above the plain-detached figure, because the buyer is paying for a second kitchen, a separate entrance, extra egress windows and the rental income that comes with them.
Typical detached home
Low–mid $600Ks
Entry suited home
~ $500K+
Newer two-unit builds
$650K–$850K+
The premium isn’t fixed — it depends heavily on whether the suite is a legally registered secondary suite or simply an unpermitted basement build. A properly permitted, egress-compliant suite adds real, financeable value and can be counted toward mortgage qualification; an “illegal” or grandfathered suite may not, and can cost money to bring up to code. That single distinction moves price more than square footage does, which is why the next section matters before you make an offer.
Sherwood Park sits inside Strathcona County, so suites here follow the County’s Land Use Bylaw rather than the City of Edmonton’s rules. The County defines a secondary suite as a self-contained additional dwelling unit inside a single, semi-detached or townhouse dwelling — a basement suite or nanny suite being the common examples — and treats it as a permitted use in any zone that already allows those home types. A few points shape which listings are worth chasing:
When in doubt, Strathcona County Planning and Development Services (780-464-8080) can confirm whether a given property’s suite is on record. It’s worth the call before removing conditions.
Suited homes aren’t spread evenly across Sherwood Park — they cluster in two broad places: newer east-side neighbourhoods where builders offered legal-suite floor plans from the start, and established central areas where larger bungalows and older two-storeys lend themselves to a basement conversion.
On the newer east and southeast side, communities like Summerwood, Emerald Hills, Aspen Trails, Cambrian and Davidson Creek are where you’ll most often find purpose-built two-unit homes and suite-ready layouts — separate side entrances, roughed-in basement kitchens and the extra parking the County looks for. Among the established central neighbourhoods, Glen Allan, Mills Haven, Broadmoor, Nottingham and Foxboro tend to have the mature lots and larger bungalows that make a legal basement suite practical. Newer master-planned pockets such as Salisbury Village and Village on the Lake add condo and multi-family options for buyers who want the income idea without a detached house.
A suite is only an asset if it’s legal, safe and rentable. Before you write an offer, work through these:
In Sherwood Park, a legally registered secondary suite is worth chasing; an unpermitted one is a negotiation point, not a bonus. Expect suited detached homes to price above the low-$600Ks detached median, concentrate your search on the newer east-side and larger-lot central neighbourhoods, and verify the permit with Strathcona County before removing conditions.

It varies with the home and the suite, but as a rule of thumb a suited detached home prices above the local detached median — which typically sits in the low-to-mid-$600,000s — with entry-level suited homes starting around $500,000 and newer purpose-built two-unit homes often ranging into the $650,000–$850,000-plus band. A legally registered suite commands more than an unpermitted one. Check the live listings at the top of this page for current prices.
Yes. Sherwood Park is in Strathcona County, which treats a secondary suite as a permitted use in any zone that allows single, semi-detached or townhouse dwellings. The County allows a maximum of one suite per house and expects additional on-site parking. The suite still needs the proper development and building permits and must meet safety codes, so always confirm a specific property’s status with Strathcona County Planning and Development Services.
Newer east and southeast communities such as Summerwood, Emerald Hills, Aspen Trails, Cambrian and Davidson Creek most often have purpose-built two-unit and suite-ready homes. Established central neighbourhoods like Glen Allan, Mills Haven, Broadmoor, Nottingham and Foxboro have the larger, mature lots that suit a legal basement conversion.

A legal secondary suite has the required County permits and meets building-code requirements for egress, ceiling height, fire separation and parking. An unpermitted or “illegal” suite may look finished but isn’t on record, which can affect financing, insurance and resale, and may cost money to bring up to code. Confirming permit status is one of the most important checks before you buy.
