Feel the Heartbeat of the Community in Downtown Edmonton

Where should people go when they want to become one with the pulse of the city they call home? Modern urban zones offer plenty of answers, and Edmonton is no different.

All across the region, people build and buy homes seeking a sense of camaraderie and companionship. Whether they actually discover it depends on where they stake their claims. As the central district both geographically and in terms of the events that unfold throughout the city, Downtown is Edmonton's premier place to find a chic property.

The neighbourhoods surrounding Edmonton’s downtown core are: Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Central McDougall, McCauley, Boyle Street, Riverdale, and Rossdale.

Sights, Sounds and Cultures That Define a Way of Life

The Downtown region is home to some of Edmonton's most iconic surroundings. Here, residents mingle with the travellers, students and business types who come to explore the festivities in Churchill Square, immerse themselves in the culture of the Arts District and set the tone for Albertan life at the Government Centre.

As one might expect, these plazas and modern blocks are well-linked, but the broad sidewalks aren't the only ways to get around. Bike lanes and well-kept streets are abundant, and the commuter culture is equally accommodating. Like many historic North American cities, there are also plenty of trees that add a touch of the naturalistic to daily life as they display their seasonal colours and offer welcome shade.

Life in Downtown

People who choose to reside here rarely experience the ironic feeling of isolation that plagues the inhabitants of so many large cities. Instead of feeling like they're all alone in an urban world, they mingle in the abundant parks and rub elbows at the Downtown Edmonton Community League hall. Being able to share their journeys with others makes living here much more enjoyable, and the fact that skyscrapers don't permanently conceal the sun also means that adapting isn't an issue for those who migrate from more southerly latitudes.

Downtown is always bustling, but locals don't have to get caught in the wave if they'd rather not visit the casinos, restaurants and nightclubs. From stretching out in massive movie theatres, catching Oilers games at Rogers Place arena and exploring vast retail centres to travelling around the city and strolling along the North Saskatchewan River, this is nothing if not a neighbourhood of choices. Compared to most city centres, Downtown Edmonton is a relatively low-density hub, so it's a great place for those hunting condos and large apartments that come outfitted with the full package of amenities.

Getting Around Downtown and Beyond

Becoming a part of Edmonton's community means experiencing new things on a continual basis. Luckily, this is the perfect vantage point for planning bold excursions. With major thoroughfares radiating outward from the neighbourhood and ready access to LRT public transit, few other communities make it so easy to partake of a rich life in one of Alberta's best-beloved cities.
