6 Homes that Celebrate City Living Among Edmonton’s Iconic Waterway

Edmonton is a city shaped by the river that runs through it. The bends of the North Saskatchewan and the many ravines that branch off from it define our neighbourhoods, our walking paths, and the way we connect with nature inside the city.

Among the homes for sale in Edmonton today, six stand out for how effortlessly they connect with our city’s natural beauty. Three luxury listings offer awe-inspiring retreats along ravines and riverbanks, while three well-located condos and townhomes provide breathtaking views from within Edmonton’s most…

A Home Built by True Collaboration

When we first introduced The Aspen project, the story was one of collaboration. Developer Luke Manca brought on all of the key players from the very beginning—Design Two Group, Kresswell Interiors, Marchand Houston, and Holland & Associates Real Estate—a rare and rewarding approach that allowed every decision to be shaped with the full vision in mind.

10 Reasons Why Edmonton is One of Canada's Top Places to Buy a Home in 2025

Edmonton's real estate market is buzzing. Home resales are nearing all-time highs and strong in-migration is fueling demand. Despite this activity, prices remain accessible, but Canada’s real estate landscape is poised for change.

The federal government's recent decision to reduce immigration aims to alleviate housing pressures, but it also introduces uncertainties that could impact demand and affordability. And with talk of U.S. tariffs possibly disrupting supply chains, today’s market pricing may not last.

Buyers getting into the real estate market now are positioning themselves ahead of what could be another wave of uncertainty in our country. Change is coming, and…

Smart, Stylish, and Accessible Design

With Canada’s aging population, the demographic landscape is undergoing a significant shift. By 2040, it’s projected that seniors aged 65 and older will make up nearly a quarter of the population, increasing the demand for homes designed with accessibility in mind.

Resale options can be limited, but as custom builders receive more requests for homes designed to age in place that’s beginning to change. Renovating an existing home is another option; however, integrating accessible features without compromising the overall look of the home requires strategic planning. Poorly planned modifications can feel like an afterthought, potentially impacting resale value. A custom build is often the more popular choice.
