Homes with Hot Tubs in Southwest Edmonton
Hot tubs are common in Southwest Edmonton, especially on decks in newer communities such as Windermere, Terwillegar and Rutherford. The tub itself is the easy part; the deck, the wiring and the permit history are what a buyer should look at.

Where they show up most
The City requires a permit for a hot tub, and a deck that holds one may need a deck permit, especially inside the river valley overlay. The weight of a filled tub matters: a deck built for chairs and a barbecue was not necessarily built for a tub.
Permits and wiring
Hot tubs are a common add-on in southwest family suburbs built since the 1990s, where most homes have a fenced back yard and a deck. The communities below are some of the busiest southwest markets, so a hot tub home there usually has nearby sales to price against.
| Community | Era | Sold, 12 months | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windermere | 2013 | 143 | $675,000 |
| Ambleside | 2012 | 74 | $592,500 |
| Terwillegar | 2003 | 60 | $547,750 |
| Rutherford | 2006 | 85 | $500,500 |
| Callaghan | 2011 | 24 | $457,000 |
| Twin Brooks | 1995 | 56 | $647,500 |

Inspecting the tub and deck
- Ask whether the tub and the deck under it were permitted.
- Ask the tub's age and when the cover was last replaced.
- Check for a dedicated electrical circuit and shut-off near the tub.
- Look under the deck for rot or sagging around the tub pad.
Included or removable?
A hot tub on a deck may be a chattel, not a fixture, depending on how it is installed. If you want it, name it in the offer, along with the cover, steps and lift. If you do not, ask the seller to remove it and repair the deck before possession.
Pricing a home with a tub
Buyers often view a hot tub as a bonus rather than a reason to pay more, so the team prices the home on its other features and uses the tub in photos and showings.

Hot tub questions
Where are hot tub homes common in the southwest?
Family suburbs built since the 1990s, such as Windermere, Ambleside, Terwillegar Towne, Rutherford, Callaghan and Twin Brooks, often have them.
Does a southwest hot tub need a City permit?
Yes. The City lists a permit requirement for hot tubs and pools, and a deck under the tub may need its own permit.
Is a hot tub included in the sale?
Only if the contract says so. Name it in the purchase contract, with the cover and chemicals if you want them.
Does the hot tub stay when I buy the house?
Not automatically. Name it in your offer, with the cover and steps, if you want it.
