Lamont County Acreages Beside Elk Island National Park
Lamont County's selling point is its neighbour: Elk Island National Park, Canada's first wildlife sanctuary, sits on its border in the Beaver Hills. Acreage homes in rural Lamont County sold at a median of $440,000 over the year, and the Yellowhead crosses the south end of the county with a straight run west to Sherwood Park and the city.

Ukrainian heritage on every back road
The County calls itself the Cradle of Ukrainian Settlement in Canada. More than 40 historic churches are on its driving tours, the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village is on Highway 16, and the Skaro Shrine draws pilgrims each August. Beaverhill Lake brings spring and fall bird migrations. For a southwest family, that means weekend outings are part of living there rather than a drive away.
A very cheap median for land, and why to be careful
31 vacant parcels sold at a median of just $45,000, far below every other county we track, while the average was $213,745. A median that low usually means small or unserviced parcels, so what looks like a bargain may need a well, a septic field, power and a driveway before it can hold a house. Acreage homes, by contrast, sold in a median of 35 days.

A southwest owner in Twin Brooks, where the detached median was $647,500, can usually buy a typical Lamont County acreage with room to spare.
Towns, schools and care
The rural county counted 3,754 people in 2021, plus the towns of Lamont, Bruderheim and Mundare and the villages of Andrew and Chipman. The County lists Star, Hilliard, St. Michael and Wostok as hamlets. Elk Island Public Schools runs schools in Bruderheim, Lamont and Mundare, and Andrew Rural Academy is a charter school. The Lamont Health Care Centre's emergency department is open 8 am to 8 pm daily, so night-time emergencies go to Fort Saskatchewan or the city.
Route from the southwest
Follow the Henday east across the south of the city, then the Yellowhead or Highway 15 depending on which end of the county you are buying in.
