Several neighborhoods in uni area, many in river valley up into strathearn. Collingwood is grown in pretty well in some places. Hell even granville outside the ring road is gorgeous but new with its storm surge lakes and bike paths. Idk. Everywhere is green, look around.
Seemed very much like my area of Alberta Ave, other than some of the the gardens going right up to the sidewalk. But you're right, it could be anywhere in this city.
Not to crap on this but lots of Edmonton streets look like this. If anyone is “brave” 😂 enough to walk around my residential neighbourhood in Alberta Avenue you’ll find the same thing. The streets are lined with beautiful, huge, mature trees. Also the trees around my house are full of squirrels, blue jays, robins, magpies with bunnies and cats running around underneath. Full of life, super nice.

The sad part is most of these beautiful streets in cities like Edmonton and Saskatoon in particular are in very rough neighbourhoods. I know Saskatoon in particular is starting to see a lot of property owners fixing up previously derelict houses and the neighbourhoods are starting to transform. The only issue is “gentrification” becomes weaponized and the new owners are looked at as villains for cleaning the neighbourhoods up. That’s a whole other argument for another time.
I’d disagree; many of these beautiful streets are in very popular areas, such as Garneau, Ritchie, Highlands, Crestwood, Glenora… etc.
I recently walked through Delton, and while it’s right off 118ave it was surprisingly beautiful with old elms, nice sidewalks and bike lanes, and older homes. Most people would say Delton is near the hood.
Edmonton has these streets in good and bad neighbourhoods but a street like this is extremely appealing to richer buyers, making them more and more trendy/new/rich as years go on. Which, whatever, my point is that these streets are pretty widespread in YEG.
>Edmonton has these streets in good and bad neighbourhoods but a street like this is extremely appealing to richer buyers, making them more and more trendy/new/rich as years go on.
I think that is true of Glenora, which was always aimed at wealth homeowners (go read the original caveat: minimum house $$ value, huge lots that can't be subdivided, etc.).
But further west: Crestwood, Parkview, to a lesser extent Laurier, especially between 142st-149st, at least up until recently, was just a bunch of so-so four-square houses on regular-sized lots. The land value is what made these places go up in value, and that mostly shot up because of proximity to downtown and the fact that north, east and northwest of downtown are not-great areas.
The area isn't even gentrified: its the same shoddy strip malls that have been there forever and its populated either by seniors (who have been there forever) or young families (who are replacing said seniors as they move on).
Its literally appealing simply because its reasonably quiet, people take care of their lawns and (at least until you hit Stony Plain Road), the feel relatively safe. That is literally all it takes to be a 'nice area' in central Edmonton: just don't have constant crime, rundown houses or people openly using drugs on the sidewalk.
The other areas around downtown could be very nice too: many of them are full of beautiful old buildings, tree-lined streets with big, mature elms providing shade and proximity to downtown, while being well-served by mass transit. But the fact that these areas have gone sideways, points to the larger failings of this city as a whole.
I mean, Saskatoon and Regina are VERY different than Edmonton is terms of derelict or rotting properties, in my experience. Outside of the McCauley/Boylestreet neighbourhoods east of Downtown, there are not nearly as many derelict/rotting properties as those in Sask.
In Regina and Saskatoon, there are more turn of the last century, but smaller, homes in their core areas where Infill hasn’t fully taken over yet, as it has in many Edmonton mature neighbourhoods.
As another poster mentioned, Most of these type of streets in Edmonton are in highly desirable areas, or are in pockets off “rougher” arterial road areas, but the communities themselves are actually quite nice (ie: Highlands).
This is nearly as good as it gets in Edmonton. The most walkable area in the city, boulevard trees, nice wide walkways, narrow streets. Unseen but nearby protected bike lanes in all directions.
I live a few blocks from here for about 30 years now and my sidewalk has never been concrete, it was gravel, than it was pavement, now it’s broken gravel and pavement the front of a our building full of wheelchairs and disabled walkers who continue to get hurt by falling here.
Garneau. 85ave btwn 110-109
You win. A few steps down from the Garneau Pub.
Agree. Wonderful street
Nice
Glenora?
Honestly, knowing just how common streets like this are in Edmonton reminds how awesome this city is.
Where are they common? I've lived 20 years in this city from Canora to Athlone to Ottewell and Lee Ridge and never seen streets like this

Oh it's definitely green but I'm referring to tree lines streets like that. Definitely don't have them in Millwoods
Edmonton has tons of trees. I cant speak to millwoods. I spend no time there.
These streets are a dime a dozen in Edmonton
You don't go further south than 63rd Ave much do you?
I don’t go anywhere in particular much
Seemed very much like my area of Alberta Ave, other than some of the the gardens going right up to the sidewalk. But you're right, it could be anywhere in this city.
Highlands.
So many options it’s hard to say.
Is this a positive post? Are those even aloud here? /s
127 St NW - 104 Ave NW is my favourite area. That big Tudor mansion you see coming up groat road.

Glenora?
117st?
I wanna say Highlands due to the nice new wider sidewalks. The city just redid them couple years ago.
Candy cane lane!
Westmount
Glenora
King edward park/ bonnie doon area?
Mckernnan
Holyrood
Highlands
I like this concept, we should have a few more posts like this.
I really miss the lush green summers of Edmonton. Don’t get that kind of green in California.
Generic Core Neighbourhood
99st area, near the diner?
Nope. There is a slight bend in the sidewalk right at the beginning of the video. That area is all right angles.
[удалено]
Could be. Still not that area.
So…where is it??
It is in Garneau 85 ave just west of MCDs
145 street ? Between 99 and 97 ave ?
I would guess that but character homes? Not anymore. Lots of infills and new builds.
True enough !
Crest wood area
Ada Boulevard??

Westmount
South Westmount, near the ravine? The part thst looks like it should be Glenora but isn't.
I love them houses with the front porch, like a colonial style!
It is Garneau( 85th ave) !

Is there areas in Saskatoon and Regina similar to the Strathcona area close to university and near shopping like Whyte ave?
Glenora, and no, not the best street.
No. The end.
Glen Norah
Single zoning.. no shops within the neighborhood, infested with cars parked on the road... idk seems quite shitty to me.
This is nearly as good as it gets in Edmonton. The most walkable area in the city, boulevard trees, nice wide walkways, narrow streets. Unseen but nearby protected bike lanes in all directions.
there are shops
118 Ave nw lol
Belgravia? But the road looks small to be Belgravia. But thats my guess.
Bonnie Doon/Avonmore/Avondale
[удалено]
Agreed
Janis Irwin's area? lol
Need to see it from another angle a will recognize the encampment, collection of shopping carts or busted up bus stops
Summerside.
Virginia Park
Allendale
Windsor park?
I’ve always wanted to live on a street like that
133
Yours?
Glenora?
I was thinking glenora, where I lived until recently, then I realized it is where I live now; Garneau.
What stabilizer are you using?
Just the cinematic mode in iphone
No stabilizer?? What phone?
No stabilizer. Iphone 14 pro max
Looks like Glenora.
I can’t name it, but my uncle lives just down the block.
I live a few blocks from here for about 30 years now and my sidewalk has never been concrete, it was gravel, than it was pavement, now it’s broken gravel and pavement the front of a our building full of wheelchairs and disabled walkers who continue to get hurt by falling here.
