A local guide to St. Albert's neighbourhoods — what each community is like, who it suits, and what homes cost. Browse current listings and explore by area.
St. Albert sits just northwest of Edmonton along the Sturgeon River, and it consistently ranks among the best places to live in Canada. It's a city with genuine range: master-planned lake communities, established family streets with mature trees, executive estates on large lots, and a walkable historic core — spread across roughly 23 distinct neighbourhoods. Add top-tier schools, Servus Credit Union Place, an active arts scene, and extensive river valley trails, and it's easy to see why homes here command a premium over most of the Edmonton region.
This guide covers St. Albert's neighbourhoods by type, what you'll find in each, and roughly what to expect on price. The current MLS® listings at the top of this page refresh daily.
St. Albert's average home price sits around $559,000 year-to-date in 2026, with monthly figures ranging from roughly $539,000 to $614,000 depending on the mix of homes selling. That's meaningfully above Edmonton's all-residential average and well above Fort Saskatchewan — a premium buyers pay for the schools, amenities, and community reputation.
The range within the city is wide. Entry-level condos and townhomes in The Gardens and Inglewood start around $300,000, while executive homes in Kingswood and lakeside properties in Jensen Lakes can exceed $1.5 million. That spread means St. Albert works for more budgets than its reputation suggests.
| Community | Average price | Compared to St. Albert |

| St. Albert | ~$559,000 | — |
| Sherwood Park | ~$570,000 | Slightly higher |
| Edmonton (all residential) | ~$484,000 | Lower |
| Fort Saskatchewan | ~$479,000 | Lower |
The city's neighbourhoods sort into four broad groups. Identifying which fits your budget and stage of life narrows a 23-neighbourhood search quickly.
St. Albert's northwest growth areas, where modern builds, larger garages, and new schools are the norm.
St. Albert's premier lake community and its most recognisable address. Built around a private lake with a beach club, Jensen Lakes offers everything from family two-storeys to large custom estates — many with heated triple garages, walkout basements, and lake views. The community has its own school and connects into the wider trail network. This is where St. Albert's highest-priced properties trade, and it draws buyers from across the Edmonton region who want resort-style living without leaving the city.
A newer community near Big Lake and Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, Riverside appeals to buyers who want modern homes with genuine natural space on the doorstep. Expect contemporary family builds with attached garages, plus proximity to some of the best birdwatching and trail access in the region.
The northward expansion of long-popular Erin Ridge, offering modern builds with current energy efficiency and newer amenities. A strong choice for families who want new construction but also want the established schools and services of the Erin Ridge area close by. Triple garages appear on the larger plans here.
One of St. Albert's newest neighbourhoods, still actively building out. Buyers here get current-standard construction, builder warranties, and choice on finishes — with the trade-off that amenities are still filling in around the community.
A modern family neighbourhood popular with buyers who want newer construction at a slightly more accessible price point than Jensen Lakes or Cherot. Well positioned for schools and northern access routes.
Proven neighbourhoods with mature landscaping, established schools, and consistently strong demand.
Often described as the quintessential St. Albert family neighbourhood. Homes typically offer three to four bedrooms with attached garages, and the area is well served by schools including École La Mission and Elmer S. Gish. Parks, green space, and a safe, settled feel make Erin Ridge a perennial first choice for families moving into the city.
One of St. Albert's most popular established neighbourhoods, known for massive mature trees, larger lots, and abundant green space. Lacombe Park itself anchors the community, with walking trails linking residents to schools and amenities. The housing mix spans bungalows, split-levels, and two-storeys — many extensively renovated. If you want mature character and a big yard rather than new construction, start here.
A quiet, well-maintained neighbourhood with a strong safety reputation and a mix of single-family homes and townhouses. Oakmont Park and nearby Kingswood Park provide green space, and schools including École Marie Poburan and Wild Rose Elementary serve the area. Popular with families who want peace and proximity without executive pricing.
A settled family neighbourhood west of Erin Ridge, offering detached homes on regular lots with a quiet residential character. A practical option for buyers who want an established street and good school access without the premium of the city's best-known addresses.
Built around its namesake lakes, Heritage Lakes combines water features and green space with established family housing. The setting gives it a distinct feel among St. Albert's mid-priced neighbourhoods.
St. Albert's prestige addresses — large lots, custom homes, river access, and the city's deepest selection of triple-garage properties.
St. Albert's most prestigious established neighbourhood, set along the Sturgeon River with executive homes on large lots. Kingswood has no commercial zoning at all, which creates an unusually quiet, purely residential atmosphere. A large tract of undeveloped land at its centre functions as a natural haven — popular with cross-country skiers in winter. Kingswood Park and the Red Willow Trail system are steps away, and Anthony Henday access makes commuting straightforward.
A mature, sought-after neighbourhood with riverside character, mature trees, and larger homes. Braeside appeals to buyers drawn to established prestige and river valley walks rather than new construction.
Central, walkable neighbourhoods offering the most accessible entry into St. Albert — including the city's best selection of condos and starter homes.
One of St. Albert's oldest neighbourhoods and among its most central. Grandin offers affordable condos and smaller bungalows alongside larger renovated homes, with the advantage of being walkable to downtown, St. Albert Place, and the farmers' market. A strong option for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone who values location over square footage.
Excellent value for older townhomes and starter detached homes, with good connections to major transit routes. Akinsdale Park and Riel Recreation Park serve the area, along with Akinsdale Elementary and William D. Cuts Junior High. A practical, community-minded neighbourhood popular with first-time buyers.
The best neighbourhood in St. Albert for affordable apartment-style condos, with strong walkability to shopping and amenities. Inglewood also offers modern townhouses, duplexes, and single-family homes, and is home to the Enjoy Centre — a hub of local businesses, cafés, and a year-round farmers' market. Lacombe Lake Park is nearby.
A quiet mature neighbourhood built largely in the 1970s, popular with first-time buyers looking for a more affordable way into St. Albert. Close to schools and to the Akinsdale and Kinex arenas — a real draw for hockey families.
A tranquil, scenic neighbourhood surrounded by green spaces and parks, with a mix of single-family homes and townhouses. The Woodlands Water Play Park is a summer fixture for local families. A good middle option between the mature affordable areas and the established family favourites.
A few things worth weighing before you narrow the search:
Want a lake and a new build? Jensen Lakes. Want the classic family street with top schools? Erin Ridge or Lacombe Park. Want executive prestige and a big lot? Kingswood. Want into St. Albert on a budget? Grandin, Akinsdale, or Inglewood. Expect to pay more than Edmonton or Fort Saskatchewan on average — the schools, trails, and amenities are what you're paying for.
