Belgravia
Bordering the river valley and nestled between the University of Alberta’s north and south campuses, Belgravia is a highly sought-after Edmonton neighbourhood with deep roots and timeless charm. It’s prized for its walkable streets, generous lot sizes, and strong sense of community, offering a peaceful, tree-lined lifestyle just minutes from Edmonton’s urban core.
A mix of long-standing mid-century homes—primarily bungalows and two-storeys—alongside thoughtful infill makes Belgravia ideal for those who value both character and modern design. Along Saskatchewan Drive, some of Edmonton’s most luxurious homes take full advantage of views overlooking the river and ravine, adding to the neighbourhood’s prestige.
Belgravia is the kind of place where kids walk to school, neighbours stop to chat on their front lawns, and nature is always just around the corner.
Nature at Every Turn
Belgravia backs directly onto the North Saskatchewan River Valley, providing instant access to Edmonton’s most scenic trails and green spaces. Walk your dog at the Belgravia Off-Leash Dog Park, enjoy the expansive system of paved and unpaved trails, or head to the ‘End of the Word’ (Keillor Point) viewpoint for one of the best sunset views in the city.
A quick stroll or bike ride connects you to nearby William Hawrelak Park, with a footbridge leading to Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park and the Edmonton Valley Zoo for those up for a longer adventure. In the winter months, you’re just 10 minutes from the slopes and ropes of Snow Valley Ski Hill and Aerial Park, making year-round outdoor activity part of everyday life.
Walkable, Bikeable, and Transit-Oriented
Despite its quiet feel, Belgravia is one of the most transit-friendly neighbourhoods in the city. It’s bordered by not one but two LRT stations—McKernan/Belgravia and South Campus/Fort Edmonton Park—making it easy to access the University of Alberta, downtown, and even the far southside without a car.
For cyclists and pedestrians, the neighbourhood’s flat terrain and thoughtful pathways make it especially enjoyable to navigate on foot or bike. Commuters, students, and retirees alike enjoy a lifestyle that blends convenience with calm in Belgravia.
Local Flavour
At the heart of the neighbourhood is Belgravia Hub, a cozy, locally loved spot for brunch, dinner, or a glass of wine on the patio. Just around the corner, Mood Cafe serves up great coffee and pastries—a go-to spot for catch-ups, study sessions, or quiet mornings.
Though Belgravia is primarily residential, its location near 114 Street makes it easy to access grocery stores and other daily necessities. And if you’re looking for a wider selection, the shops, restaurants, and services of Old Strathcona’s Whyte Avenue or Southgate Centre are just a short drive away.
A Top Choice for Students and Faculty
Belgravia is home to Belgravia School (K–6) for the little ones, with nearby options for older students including McKernan School (7-9) and Strathcona High School (10-12).
The neighbourhood also draws post-secondary students and university staff thanks to its convenient access to the University of Alberta’s main campus, the university hospital, and key research centres. With just a short LRT ride, students and faculty can get to class or work with ease.
Rooted in Community
The Belgravia Community League is known for its vibrant community spirit, hosting seasonal events and programming that bring neighbours together. Residents can enjoy key amenities like the community hall, the outdoor skating rink, and a unique outdoor art park that adds a creative touch to the neighbourhood’s gathering spaces. Belgravia is the kind of place where people tend to stay once they arrive—and where newcomers are warmly welcomed.
