Relocating to Southwest Edmonton
Moving to Edmonton and leaning toward the southwest? This page is for out-of-town buyers who want the southwest quadrant: newer suburbs south of the Anthony Henday, established areas around Whitemud Creek and Riverbend, and quick access to the airport and Highway 2. It covers how the southwest is laid out, what homes sold for, and how to buy from a distance with the team.

How the southwest is laid out
Think of the southwest in three bands. North of Whitemud Drive are the older, tree-lined communities from the 1950s to the 1970s. Between Whitemud Drive and the Anthony Henday are the 1980s to 2000s suburbs of Riverbend, Terwillegar and the Whitemud Creek area. South of the Henday are the newest communities, such as Windermere, Keswick, Chappelle and Desrochers, many built in the last ten years.
The Anthony Henday ring road and Terwillegar Drive tie the southwest together, and Highway 2 (the Queen Elizabeth II Highway) runs south to Nisku, Leduc and Edmonton International Airport. The Capital Line LRT ends at Century Park on the southwest side, with bus routes feeding it.

Schools when you arrive
Edmonton Public Schools and Edmonton Catholic Schools assign schools by address, and the newest southwest communities often bus students to schools in older areas until local schools open. Use the Edmonton Public school locator for any address before you write an offer, and check the Catholic division's list if you plan to use it.
Buying from out of town
- Video showings: The team walks homes on live video and points out what photos miss, such as backing onto a busy road or a steep driveway.
- One scouting trip: if you can visit once, we pack two days with the three bands of the southwest so you can feel the difference.
- Remote closing: Alberta lawyers can handle signing at a distance; our directory lists the lawyers our team uses.
- Possession timing: new southwest builds can have long timelines, so we match the possession date to your start date.
Working with the team
The team works in the area you are moving to and can start a tour straight from the airport on Highway 2.
