Seriously though.....if I HAD to live any where around there...St Albert would be the place. Nice little community. |
I live in St.Albert and it is pretty nice. But if you're buying the place to make money keep in mind that Saint Albert has really high property taxes. My house is a 5 year old 1800 sq foot two story with attached garage and fenced yard that would sell for about 255 and my taxes are over $3000 a year. Same house in the North end of Edmonton like Castle Downs would have way lower property taxes. So if you're looking for a rental, or to make good appreciation on your investment inside the city is a better bet. If you want a nice place to live than St. Albert is a good choice.
In Edmonton there are some nice areas developing up in the North end of the city (North West). A lot of nicer developments out on the far West end of the city as well. The South is also seeing a lot of new growth and with Anthony Hendy transversing the South West area of the city getting around isn't as bad. They want to get the LRT going down to Heritage Centre in the next 5 years (23rd ave). Close to the University is always a pretty good choice too as theres always peole looking for places near the U of A. When I was looking for places one thing I heard over and over.....Stay out of Millwoods!!
