Onoway: The Hub of the Highways Near Lac Ste. Anne
Onoway, a Lac Ste. Anne County town of 966 (2021 Census), calls itself the Hub of the Highways: Highways 43 and 37 meet here, giving a choice of routes to west Edmonton or toward St. Albert. It sits east of Lac Ste. Anne and south of the Sturgeon River, so lake weekends are close.

Very little for sale
34 homes sold in the 12 months to October 31 at a median of $282,500, and only 3 were listed on Nov 8, about 1.1 months of supply. Sellers received a median 97.93% of list. In a market this tight, a buyer needs financing ready and a plan for the southwest home before touring.

If Onoway has nothing listed
With so few homes for sale, many of our Onoway searches widen to acreages in the surrounding Lac Ste. Anne County or to Alberta Beach and the lake villages to the west. Those keep the same schools and the same Highway 43 commute, and they often come up when the town itself is sold out. Set alerts for both so you see each new listing the day it appears.
