Malmo Plains is bounded by Whitemud Drive to the north, 111th Street to the east, 51st Avenue to the south, and 122nd Street to the west. The neighborhood predominantly features single-detached homes, which constitute the majority of its residential buildings. These homes are mainly bungalows and split-levels, typical of the 1960s architectural styles, with well-kept yards and quiet streets. Additionally, there are several low-rise apartment complexes and townhouses, particularly near the eastern boundary close to 111th Street, providing a mix of housing options suitable for singles, families, and seniors. The vast majority of low-rise units and all of the high-rise units are part of Michener Park (see below) which is both condos and rental units. This is because of the Michener Park Student Housing Complex that is owned and operated by the University of Alberta.
