Key Takeaways
- Homes for sale in Westmount sit in a mature inner Edmonton neighbourhood west of downtown, bounded roughly by 124 Street on the east, Groat Road on the west, 111 Avenue on the south, and the 118 Avenue corridor on the north.
- The housing mix is unusually wide: pre-war character homes, post-war bungalows, and modern skinny-home and duplex infill share blocks. Original detached homes typically sit in the $300K to mid-$500K range; modern infill detached typically reaches $550K to $800K. These are working ranges; a current CMA is needed on any specific property.
- The 124 Street commercial corridor on Westmount’s east edge is one of Edmonton’s mature dining and retail streets, with the Duchess Bake Shop, the 124 Grand Market, and the 124 Street Art Walk anchoring the corridor.
- Valley Line West LRT is under construction along Stony Plain Road on Westmount’s south frontage, with stops planned at 124 Street and the 149 Street area; verify the current revenue-service date with the City of Edmonton before counting on it.
- Westmount is assigned to Central Edmonton by City of Edmonton geography and Yellowhead Trail boundary rules; many buyers search for it as part of “west Edmonton,” which reflects the historic streetcar-suburb identity rather than current geography.
- The Royal Alexandra Hospital sits immediately east at 111 Avenue and Kingsway, putting acute-care access within a five to ten minute drive.
Looking at homes for sale in Westmount, Edmonton means looking at one of the city’s most-active mature infill neighbourhoods. Rory O’Shea, REALTOR® with Homes & Gardens Real Estate Ltd., works the full Westmount market alongside Bev O’Shea-Thomas, a 45+ year Edmonton REALTOR® and Re/Max Hall of Fame member who provides advisory backup. The neighbourhood sits west of downtown, north of the river valley, between 124 Street and Groat Road, with the 124 Street commercial corridor on its eastern frontage and Stony Plain Road along the south. You’ll find pre-war character homes, post-war bungalows, and modern infill on the same blocks. The mix is the defining feature.
What’s the price range for homes in Westmount?
Here’s the honest answer: Westmount is effectively two markets in one, and a single neighbourhood median figure would be misleading. The original-stock houses and the modern infill houses trade at very different price bands.
Working trailing-twelve-month price ranges by product type, based on REALTORS® Association of Edmonton (RAE) market pattern for mature inner Central Edmonton:
- Detached, original-stock pre-war or post-war: roughly $300K to mid-$500K, depending heavily on renovation level and lot.
- Detached, modern skinny-home infill (post-2015 build): roughly $550K to $800K.
- Semi-detached and duplex modern infill (per side): roughly $450K to $650K.
- Townhouse and row: thin sales volume; roughly $250K to $400K when product is available.
- Apartment condo and walk-up: roughly $140K to $260K.
The 25th to 75th percentile band across the detached pool runs roughly $380K to $680K, which is wide because original-stock and modern-infill product are effectively separate sub-markets sharing the same neighbourhood. Days on market typically run 15 to 45 for detached when priced correctly, with original-stock pricing more forgiving than premium-priced infill.

What’s it like to live in Westmount?
Honest answer: if you want the visual consistency of Glenora or Crestwood, Westmount isn’t it. A single Westmount block can hold a 1912 character home, two 1950s bungalows, and a 2021 skinny-home infill pair. That mix is the defining feature of the neighbourhood and it isn’t reversible.
What Westmount gives you is walkability on a grid that was originally laid out as a streetcar suburb. The mature elm canopy is intact on most interior streets. The 124 Street commercial corridor on the east edge of the neighbourhood is one of the city’s most-developed mature dining and retail strips, with independent restaurants, cafes, art galleries, the Duchess Bake Shop, and the seasonal 124 Grand Market. The 124 Street Art Walk runs each summer.
The Westmount Centre at 111 Avenue and Groat Road anchors the south edge with grocery and convenience retail. Westmount Park sits inside the neighbourhood with a playground and a winter ice rink, and the Coronation Park complex across Groat Road holds the Peter Hemingway Fitness and Leisure Centre, the TELUS World of Science, and is a short distance from the Royal Alberta Museum. The Westmount Community League is active, with a hall on 132 Street.
The trade-off, worth knowing before you fall in love with a house: 111 Avenue, 124 Street, Stony Plain Road, and Groat Road all carry serious arterial traffic. Interior streets are quiet. Frontages on the arterials are not. Walk the specific block before you decide.
What schools serve Westmount?
Worth confirming with Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) and Edmonton Catholic Schools (ECSD) directly before you fall in love with a particular house, because catchment polygons get adjusted from time to time and the right answer depends on the exact address.
Westmount School at 11125 131 Street is the designated EPSB elementary and junior high school for much of the neighbourhood, covering kindergarten through Grade 9. For high school, the EPSB catchment for the area has historically directed Westmount students to Ross Sheppard High School (Grades 10 to 12) at 13546 111 Avenue, but high school catchments in Edmonton have been adjusted multiple times in the last decade, so verify the current EPSB catchment map for your specific address before counting on a particular school assignment.
For Catholic education, ECSD operates a network of elementary schools serving the broader inner-Edmonton area, with St. Joseph Catholic High School at 10830 109 Street as the high school option for most Catholic students in this part of the city. Confirm the current Westmount-area catchment at ecsd.net.
Francophone families should check Conseil scolaire Centre-Nord for the nearest francophone elementary and secondary catchment; no francophone school is sited inside Westmount itself. Private school options like Tempo School and Edmonton Academy are admission-based and not tied to the Westmount address range.
How long is the commute from Westmount to downtown?
Most people moving to Westmount from outside Edmonton don’t realise how short the downtown commute actually is. Off-peak, the drive from a typical Westmount address to the downtown core runs roughly 8 to 15 minutes via 109 Street or 107 Avenue. The University of Alberta is roughly 12 to 20 minutes via Groat Road and Saskatchewan Drive. NAIT is even closer, at 5 to 10 minutes via Princess Elizabeth Avenue or 118 Avenue. West Edmonton Mall is 12 to 20 minutes via Stony Plain Road or 87 Avenue. Nisku and the south industrial belt run 25 to 40 minutes via the QEII.
Westmount itself is not currently served by an LRT station. The nearest existing Metro Line stations are NAIT and Kingsway/Royal Alex to the east, both roughly a short bus or quick drive away. The Valley Line West LRT is under construction along Stony Plain Road, which forms part of Westmount’s south edge; stops planned at 124 Street and the 149 Street area will both serve Westmount residents on completion. The Valley Line West schedule has been revised multiple times, so check the current City of Edmonton or Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) projected revenue-service date before treating it as a timeline you can plan around.
For commuters who cycle, the 102 Avenue downtown bike route is a short ride south, and the Groat ravine multi-use trail along the west edge of Westmount connects directly into the North Saskatchewan River valley trail system.
What new development is happening in Westmount?
If construction activity bothers you, this is something to think about before you commit to Westmount: the neighbourhood is one of the highest-volume mature infill markets in Edmonton, and it isn’t slowing down.
The 2024 City of Edmonton Zoning Bylaw renewal expanded the small-scale residential category city-wide. Westmount was already an active infill market under the prior Mature Neighbourhood Overlay; under the new bylaw, expect continued and likely accelerated infill activity. In practice, that means most blocks in the neighbourhood will see active builds within a block or two of any given property at most times. Pull current building-permit data from the City of Edmonton open data portal for the Westmount neighbourhood polygon if you want a precise count.
The Valley Line West LRT construction along Stony Plain Road affects Westmount’s south frontage today, with short-term disruption and medium-term traffic-pattern reorganisation as the line moves toward revenue service. The Westmount Centre site at 111 Avenue and Groat Road has been the subject of redevelopment discussion for years; the current status should be checked against the City of Edmonton planning portal before relying on any specific plan.
For a buyer, the practical takeaway: Westmount is a neighbourhood in active transition, not a frozen heritage district. If you want a place where the streetscape is locked in, look at Glenora across the ravine. If you’re open to a neighbourhood that will keep changing block-by-block over the next decade, Westmount fits.
Who’s buying in Westmount right now?
Buyers fall into a few groups, and the right one for any given house depends on the product type more than the buyer’s age.
Most modern skinny-home infill and duplex sides sell to first-time-buyer young professionals and young families coming out of rentals in Oliver, downtown, Garneau, or Strathcona. The pitch is walkability, 124 Street amenity proximity, and a new-build product at a price point below Glenora. If your budget tops out under $600K, you’re often looking at this side of Westmount.
Original-stock pre-war and post-war detached homes typically sell to renovation buyers willing to take on a 6 to 18-month project, or to investors holding for rental cash flow at the entry price band. Downsizers from Glenora, Crestwood, and North Glenora are a smaller but consistent stream, usually targeting a smaller modern infill at a step down from where they’re coming from.
The most common buyer objection on Westmount houses is the visual variability of the streetscape. The honest response is that it’s true and not resolvable: the mix of character homes, bungalows, and modern infill is the neighbourhood’s defining trait. If consistency is what you want, Glenora is the answer. If walkability and amenity proximity at a price band below Glenora is what you want, Westmount delivers.
Is Westmount part of west Edmonton or central?
Honest answer: geographically central, often searched as west.
By the road-rule that EdmontonCityHomes.com uses for area pages, Westmount sits south of Yellowhead Trail and is assigned to Central Edmonton. Glenora across the ravine, North Glenora, Inglewood, Prince Charles, and the rest of the mature inner west cluster sit in the same Central designation under the same rule. The cardinal split between Central and West Edmonton runs along 142 Street south of 111 Avenue, putting Westmount east of that line.
That said, plenty of buyers search for Westmount as part of west Edmonton, and there’s a reason for it. The neighbourhood developed historically as an early streetcar suburb on the west side of downtown; long-tenured Edmonton agents grouped it with mature west under older MLS® conventions; the 124 Street corridor reads as a west-side amenity street; and Glenora, the most-searched mature west neighbourhood, sits immediately south. If you arrived at this page from a west Edmonton search, you’re in the right place; the geography is just a little more central than the search shorthand suggests.

How does Westmount compare to nearby neighbourhoods?
If your budget tops out and you want something stylistically consistent, you’re looking at Glenora across the ravine. Detached prices in Glenora step up sharply from Westmount, the streetscape is more architecturally coherent, and the school catchments are well established. Glenora is the natural upsize target from a Westmount starter.
If you’re shopping the same price band and the same era but want a slightly different feel, the closest substitutes are North Glenora immediately south of Westmount across the Groat ravine, Inglewood immediately north, and Prince Charles to the northeast. North Glenora is the closest match on era, infill mix, and price. Inglewood is comparable on character and price. Prince Charles tends to come in at a slightly lower price band on equivalent product.
If your budget needs a step down and you can give up some lot size for proximity to downtown, Queen Mary Park and Central McDougall east of 124 Street are denser, more apartment-heavy, and entry-price lower than Westmount.
