Camrose County Acreages with a Small City at the Centre
Camrose County surrounds the City of Camrose, about 90 km from Edmonton, and its acreage owners get something most rural buyers do not: a full hospital, a university campus and city shopping close by. On our MLS System, 15 rural Camrose County properties sold in the year at a median of $605,000, the second highest acreage median among the counties we cover.

Why our figures are only part of the story
Camrose has its own local market, and many county acreages are sold outside the Edmonton system. Fifteen sales in a county of 8,504 people (2021 Census) is a partial view. When a southwest client is serious, the team widens the search and compares individual properties instead of leaning on one median.

Even so, the median of $605,000 and 396 dollars per square foot suggest larger, newer country homes. A detached home in Bulyea Heights sold at a median of $725,000, so a Bulyea Heights owner moving here is trading roughly like for like in dollars.
Lakes and hamlets
Pelican Point and Tillicum Beach are lake communities in the county, and Bittern Lake and Hay Lakes are nearby. Other communities include New Norway, Ferintosh, Armena, Meeting Creek, Round Hill, Ohaton, Duhamel, Kelsey and Kingman, and Bashaw and Bawlf are close.
City services within reach
St. Mary's Hospital in Camrose, run by Covenant Health, has a 24-hour emergency department, surgery, obstetrics and a cancer clinic, which matters for families and retirees alike. The University of Alberta's Augustana Faculty is in the city. Battle River School Division and Elk Island Catholic Schools run the schools.
The fringe-area rule to check
Near the city edge, the Camrose Intermunicipal Development Plan (Bylaw 3080-20) shapes what can be built and may reserve land for future city growth. Before buying close to Camrose, read the plan map for the parcel. Highway 13 is the usual last leg from the QE II corridor.
