If you’re looking at homes for sale in Woodcroft, Edmonton, here’s the short version: it’s a quiet grid of 1950s and 1960s bungalows wrapped around Coronation Park, in mature northwest Edmonton between 118 Avenue and 111 Avenue, west of Groat Road. I’m Rory O’Shea, REALTOR® with Homes & Gardens Real Estate Ltd., working alongside Bev O’Shea-Thomas. This page covers where Woodcroft sits, what the houses cost, what you can walk to at Coronation Park, the schools and the commute, and how it stacks up against the neighbours.
Where is Woodcroft in Edmonton?
Woodcroft sits in mature northwest Edmonton, well inside Anthony Henday Drive. The boundaries are easy to picture: 118 Avenue on the north, Groat Road on the east, 111 Avenue on the south, and 142 Street on the west. Coronation Park fills most of the southwest corner, so a big chunk of the neighbourhood’s western edge is parkland and recreation rather than houses.
Worth knowing if you’re new to the area: most buyers shop Woodcroft as part of the northwest Edmonton search, alongside North Glenora, Inglewood, and McQueen. You can browse the wider northwest Edmonton area page for the bigger picture, then come back here for the street-level detail. The Westmount Centre shopping area sits right at the southeast corner, at 111 Avenue and Groat Road.
What’s the price range for homes in Woodcroft, Edmonton?
Here’s the trade-off: Woodcroft gives you a detached bungalow in a central location at one of the lower entry points in the mature northwest. Per the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton (Paragon MLS® System), Woodcroft single-family detached homes recorded 19 sales over the trailing 12 months to June 2026, with sold prices from $285,000 to $520,000, a median sold price of $411,000, and a median of 14 days on market.
| Measure | Single-family detached |
|---|---|
| Homes sold (12 months) | 19 |
| Sold price range | $285,000 to $520,000 |
| Median sold price | $411,000 |
| Average sold price | $405,394 |
| Median days on market | 14 |
That median is the number to anchor on. A wide mid-century bungalow here, around that $411,000 mark, lands well under what the same kind of house costs a few minutes south in Glenora, which is the higher-priced step-up neighbour. You’re trading prestige and pre-war character for price and a quiet, practical grid.
Working bands by product type over the same window:
- Original or lightly updated mid-century bungalow: typically the high $200Ks to mid $400Ks, depending on condition, lot, and street.
- Renovated bungalow: typically the low $400Ks to low $500Ks.
- Condo and walk-up apartment: typically the high $100Ks to mid $200Ks, mostly along the arterial frontages.
These are estimates; contact Rory for a current CMA on a specific property.
What’s it like to live in Woodcroft?
Honest answer: Woodcroft reads like a textbook post-war Edmonton bungalow neighbourhood, and the consistency is the draw. Most homes here are 1950s and 1960s single-detached bungalows on rear-lane lots, with mature trees and a quiet residential rhythm a few blocks off any arterial.
The lots are a real selling point. Woodcroft’s interior lots commonly run about 50 ft by 120 ft, roughly 6,000 sq ft, which is wide for inner-city Edmonton. That gives you room for a detached double garage and, under the current rules, genuine garden-suite or garage-suite potential. If you want a yard and a workshop close to the core, this is one of the places that still delivers it.
What amenities are near Woodcroft and Coronation Park?
This is the part that sells the neighbourhood. Coronation Park sits right inside Woodcroft, and in January 2026 it gained the new Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre. The facility links to the rehabilitated Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre and brings a 50-metre pool, a 333-metre indoor running track, indoor courts, a bouldering wall, an indoor cycling track, a fitness centre, and an indoor playground. If you’re searching for homes for sale near Coronation Park, this is the address everyone is talking about.
The park also holds the TELUS World of Science, the Queen Elizabeth Planetarium, an ice arena, and lawn bowling. For shopping, Westmount Centre at 111 Avenue and Groat Road covers groceries, services, and everyday retail a few minutes away, and the 142 Street strip adds more. The Woodcroft branch of the Edmonton Public Library is in the neighbourhood. For healthcare, the Royal Alexandra Hospital is a short drive south. Check current hours and operators before you build a routine around any specific business.
What schools serve Woodcroft?
If you’re moving for the schools, read this part closely, and confirm your block before you commit. Coronation School, an Edmonton Public school running the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, is the public elementary serving the Coronation Park area. An IB elementary on the doorstep is a genuine draw for young families, but catchments shift, so confirm your designated school for a specific address on epsb.ca.
On the Catholic side, St. Mark Catholic School (Edmonton Catholic Schools) serves the area; verify the current grade configuration and catchment on ecsd.net. For high school, Ross Sheppard High School has long served much of the mature inner west and northwest and hosts the IB Diploma Programme. Fraser Institute rankings circulate widely, but the methodology does not capture school culture, special needs support, or program diversity, so treat them as one data point among many.
How long is the commute from Woodcroft to downtown?
Most people don’t realize how central Woodcroft is. Off-peak, you’re typically looking at 10 to 15 minutes to downtown via 111 Avenue or Groat Road, and NAIT is just east of the neighbourhood.
Woodcroft is bus-served, with the Westmount Transit Centre right at the southeast corner pulling Edmonton Transit Service and St. Albert Transit routes together in one spot. There’s no LRT station inside the neighbourhood; the closest is the Metro Line terminus at NAIT, a short drive away.
Other typical drive times, off-peak:
- University of Alberta (main campus): 12 to 18 minutes south via Groat Road across the river.
- NAIT: 5 to 10 minutes east.
- West Edmonton Mall: 12 to 20 minutes west.
- St. Albert: 12 to 20 minutes north via St. Albert Trail.
Who’s buying in Woodcroft right now?
If your budget is under $300K, you’re at the entry of the bungalow band or on the condo side along the frontages. Most detached activity sits a bit above that. A few buyer types show up here consistently.
- First-time and move-up buyers after an affordable detached bungalow and a yard, often priced out of Glenora or North Glenora and willing to trade prestige for a wide lot.
- Active-lifestyle buyers who will use the new recreation centre, the pool, and the park constantly, and who treat it as a backyard amenity.
- Young families drawn by the IB option at Coronation School and the green space across the road.
- Renovators and suite-minded buyers taking on an original bungalow on a 6,000 sq ft lot with garage-suite or garden-suite potential.
The common thread is value: a central location, a real yard, and a park-and-rec amenity that most mature neighbourhoods cannot match.
What new development is happening in Woodcroft?
Worth knowing if you’re tracking the area: the headline is the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre, which opened in January 2026 and reset the neighbourhood’s biggest amenity for a generation. That project is done and open, not a future promise.
On the housing side, expect slow, single-lot change rather than a wave. The original bungalow grid is still overwhelmingly intact. The 2024 City of Edmonton Zoning Bylaw renewal expanded the small-scale residential category city-wide, so the wide Woodcroft lots will see a measured uptick in infill, duplexes, and secondary suites over the medium term. If you want hard numbers on recent permits for a specific block, pull the current building-permit counts from the City of Edmonton open data portal before you commit.
What should buyers know before buying an older Woodcroft home?
Honest answer: more than you’d expect if you’ve only bought newer. Woodcroft is a mid-century bungalow neighbourhood, and pre-1965 homes come with a checklist. A standard pre-purchase inspection handles most of it; you just need to know what to flag for the inspector.
- Older systems. Original electrical panels, older plumbing, and dated furnaces are common on the original stock. Verify before you firm up financing.
- Asbestos and lead paint. Common in original finishes and insulation on homes this age. Not deal-killers; budget line items.
- Arterial edges. Confirm the noise and traffic profile on any property fronting 118 Avenue, 142 Street, Groat Road, or 111 Avenue. Interior streets are quiet; the edges carry more traffic.
None of this is a reason to walk. These bungalows are buyable, livable, and often already updated. They just take a more careful inspection than a 2010-era house in the suburbs.
How does Woodcroft compare to nearby neighbourhoods?
This is the comparison I get at most kitchen tables out here. If you’re weighing Woodcroft against the alternatives, here’s how the close neighbours stack up.
- North Glenora (closest match). South, across the Coronation Park belt. Almost the same mid-century bungalow feel; steps up modestly in price and prestige.
- Westmount (more variety). Southeast across Groat Road. More pre-war character and more active infill; shares the Westmount Centre amenity base.
- Inglewood (step-up on variety). East across Groat Road. More architectural mix and a higher price tier on equivalent detached product.
- Sherbrooke (lateral, comparable price). Northwest. Similar post-war bungalow stock at a similar entry point.
- Glenora (step-up two tiers). South. Heavier pre-war character, larger lots, prestige school cohort, and a clearly higher price band. If your budget pushes well past the Woodcroft median and you want a character home, that’s the page to read next.
