A planned area from the 1960s on
The land was annexed to Edmonton in 1960. The 1969 Riverbend and Terwillegar Heights Outline Plan was the city's first residential plan at that scale, and the Riverbend Area Structure Plan followed in 1979. Building moved north to south: Brander Gardens in the 1970s, Ramsay Heights in the 1970s and 1980s, Rhatigan Ridge in the 1980s, Henderson Estates into the 1990s and Carter Crest in the 1990s. Curving streets, cul de sacs and walkways are the standard layout, and the river valley sits at the edge of almost every neighbourhood.

What that means for buyers
- Set up alerts early. With so few listings, the right home often sells in the first week or two.
- Be ready to write. Have a mortgage pre-approval and your inspection booked as a condition you can schedule quickly.
- Budget for updates. Many homes are 30 to 50 years old; check roof, windows, furnace and the electrical panel.
Schools and amenities
Edmonton Public schools in the area include Brander Gardens School (K to 6), Earl Buxton School (K to 6), George H. Luck School (K to 6) and Riverbend School (grades 7 to 9).
