Alberta Beach is a village on the southeast shore of Lac Ste. Anne, northwest of Edmonton. It has been a cottage getaway for Edmonton families for generations, and southwest clients who call us about it usually want a lake village with a main street, a beach and a golf course, rather than a remote cabin.
Getting there from southwest Edmonton
From the southwest, follow Anthony Henday Drive north to Highway 16 west, then take Highway 43 northwest toward the lake. The Government of Alberta describes neighbouring Val Quentin, which borders Alberta Beach, as about 75 km northwest of Edmonton. Allow extra time on summer Fridays.

What southwest buyers ask about Alberta Beach
- Is it a village or a summer village? Alberta Beach is a village with its own council and bylaws. Neighbouring communities on the lake are summer villages with their own rules.
- Is the cabin on water and sewer or a well and septic? Services vary by lot. We confirm what the property has before you write.
- How do I compare cabins? Compare like with like: lakefront against lakefront, and lake access lots against each other.
- Can we keep our southwest home and add a cabin? Many families do. We help you look at carrying costs and second-home financing first.
How the team helps
The Haupt Phaneuf Real Estate Team helps southwest families shortlist cabins, line up showings on a single day trip and review the property details that matter at the lake. We also handle the sale if you decide to trade your city home for the lake.
