Edmonton has a long history of rural culture. Once, the entire region was populated by dense old-growth forests and the occasional farmstead, but today, such sights are relative rarities within the city limits. They're not completely absent, however, and as neighbourhoods like Grandview Heights aptly demonstrate, the modern metropolis still leaves plenty of room for naturalistic throwbacks.
Getting to Know the Natural
In Grandview Heights, one can get attuned to the ebb and flow of the rustic without missing a beat. Whitemud Park offers trails and equestrian activities, and the connecting creek ravine leads to ski clubs and campgrounds without taking locals too far from home. Nearby sights like the Edmonton Valley Zoo, University of Alberta farm and historical parks make it feel like second nature to get immersed in all things cultural.

A Community of Distinctive Environs
Grandview Heights is unique among Edmonton's many subdivisions. Unlike other communities, this region is somewhat of a suburban island with no directly adjacent neighbouring boroughs. Although this does mean that it takes a short drive, bike ride or bus trip to get to shopping and the constant happenings downtown, locals seem to love their relative isolation and placid surroundings.
Most of the homes here were erected during the 1960s, and in modern times, all but a few are single-family, owner-occupied properties. Thanks to high ownership levels and a decades-old community league, Grandview Heights is known for offering a rewarding lifestyle that makes it feel natural to connect with others and take an active role in the city's future.
Grandview Heights is one of Edmonton's more elegant neighbourhoods. The area is very appealing to urban professional couples and the prices reflect the quality of life found here. Homes do not come on the market often here, and when they do, they do not last long.
