Beaumont sits just southeast of Edmonton, and a lot of the people who call us about it already live in the southwest. They like the small city setting, the French heritage and the newer subdivisions, and they want to know how the move lines up with the home they own now.
Below is the view from southwest Edmonton: how you get there, what the official numbers say, and the planning questions we work through with southwest sellers before they buy in Beaumont.
The route from southwest Edmonton
From the southwest, drivers usually take Anthony Henday Drive east, then head south toward Beaumont on Highway 814. The City of Beaumont describes itself as just minutes south of Edmonton, close to the Queen Elizabeth II Highway and Edmonton International Airport. It does not publish a drive time from the southwest, so we will not guess one. Try the trip at your normal commute hour.

Questions southwest sellers bring to us
- Will my southwest equity cover a Beaumont home? We start with a pricing review of your current home using City assessment data and recent sales near you.
- Is new construction or resale a better fit? Beaumont has active growth areas named in its statutory plans. We compare a builder contract with a resale purchase, including deposits, timelines and GST on new homes.
- What changes with schools? Black Gold, STAR Catholic and the francophone board serve Beaumont. Families should confirm the designated school for each address.
- Can we keep our kids in their Edmonton activities? Many families keep sports and lessons in the southwest for a season after moving. We talk through the practical side of that drive.
