When it comes to expensive real estate in Edmonton, we might not be able to afford it, but we love to look.
We asked an expert to give us the rundown on Edmonton’s most exclusive postal codes. Ryan Debler, a realtor with Rimrock Real Estate in Edmonton, provided Daily Hive with a list of the streets with the highest-valued properties in the city.
Debler looked at two rankings for the list, the most expensive individual house sale on the street and the total sales of homes over $1,500,000 listed on MLS, not including off-market transactions.
It’s a great overview of where the ultra-wealthy in the city live, and the next time you’re taking a walk or a drive in the city, you might want to take a peek at these splashy neighbourhoods for inspiration.

“The properties offer expansive views. The street is tucked away from major traffic while offering quick access to all of the southwest Edmonton amenities. It’s essentially acreage living in the heart of the SW. Many of the homes on this street are significant in size, many of which are around 7000+ sqft.,” he said.
