Rio Terrace, Quesnell Heights, and Patricia Heights

Nestled between the North Saskatchewan River and its beautiful Patricia Ravine lies Rio Terrace, Patricia Heights, and Quesnell Heights, a trio of quiet, family-friendly neighbourhoods in west Edmonton.

Community-oriented and surrounded by ample natural amenities, these three neighbourhoods are popular with buyers that are looking for a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Mid-Century Modern Abodes

Home to an abundance of single-family houses built in the 1960s and 1970s, these communities are a dream for lovers of mid-century modern architecture. Canopied by mature trees along the quiet residential streets, other homes in the area include ranch-style, colonial-style, and Cape Cod-style offerings as well as luxury modern infills, some backing the Patricia Ravine. In Patricia Heights, you’ll find additional diversity in housing options including cozy condominiums great for singles and smaller families.

Community-Oriented

All three neighbourhoods share the Rio Terrace Community League which is the beating heart of many family-friendly activities in the area. From outdoor soccer for kids of all ages to ping-pong, ringette, and jujutsu, the community league offers endless opportunities for active families. Tennis courts and an outdoor skating rink provide residents with outdoor recreation options, no matter the season. Come December, the holidays are made extra special with events such as a Christmas market and breakfast with Santa.

Nature at Your Doorstep

Bounded by the North Saskatchewan River and Patricia Ravine with walking trails, river valley stairs, and an off-leash area, these three communities are perfect for active, outdoorsy residents. Enjoy the tranquility of a walk in the river valley surrounded by natural beauty, just steps from your front door. Rio Park’s multi-use trails take walkers, runners, and cyclists through the forest and up to stunning vantage points, providing unforgettable views. In the middle of the city’s hustle and bustle, residents can find serenity right at home.

Family-Friendly Living

Young families thrive in this trio of neighbourhoods, which are home to Rio Terrace Community Preschool, Westend Community Preschool, Patricia Heights School (K-6), and the unique Rio Terrace School (K-6), which offers French immersion and German bilingual programming. Just beyond the communities’ borders, middle schoolers can attend Hillcrest School (7-9) or HE Beriault Catholic Junior High School (7-9). Jasper Place High School (10-12) and St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School are additional options located further north.

Off the Beaten Path, Yet Accessible

These communities’ peaceful, tucked-away location is a major draw with their serene setting alongside the North Saskatchewan River, but they also offer convenient access to major thoroughfares like Whitemud Drive and 156 Street, making office commutes a breeze. West Edmonton Mall is just minutes away by car, and the nearby Meadowlark Health and Shopping Centre fulfills day-to-day needs.
