A Tradition of Involvement

Here, the spirit of cooperation goes far beyond the well-respected community league. Highlands actually earned its name from a contest open to the public, and since then, its residents have spread the region's reputation by building homes that are nothing less than enviable. "This Old House" magazine ranked it as one of the 10 best neighbourhoods in the entire country, and the community's pride in its surroundings plays a big role in distinguishing the mostly owner-occupied properties from those in other parts of Canada.

Proximity That Doesn't Get Old

As an established Edmonton borough, Highlands is close to theatres, the Bangladesh Heritage Museum, Northlands, Commonwealth Stadium and the other rich trappings of civilization that draw people to this part of Alberta. What sets it apart, however, is the fact that it's also near some of the most picturesque parks and preserves that the North Saskatchewan River has to offer. 

Homes in this community come in a variety of styles from the opulent to the unassuming. Even if would-be owners don't feel like splurging on something massive, they can still expect a range of upscale options that offer unspoiled river views, easy access to parks and conveniences like public transportation.
