One Edmonton community has it all: long residential avenues replete with trees, quiet rear alleys that meet fenced backyards and garages, and walking distance to the urban wilderness of Mill Creek Ravine South. Do these sound like things that one would only discover in some idyllic fantasy landscape? No, this is Avonmore, one of the premier residential zones for those who find it hard to resist the appeal of the medium-density lifestyle.
A Foundation for Expansion
Like the neighbourhoods that surround it, Avonmore contains streets arranged in a modified grid pattern, but thanks to its natural and human-made borders, it's not quite as regular as some others. The major throughway, 83 Street NW, acts as a connecting artery to the industrial backbone of the city via Argyll Road NW. It also offers a straight path to Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre and other attractions, such as the North Saskatchewan River Valley Park. No matter which direction one travels, it's not hard to encounter something worthwhile.
