Queen Alexandra is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood located in central Edmonton. It traces its roots back to the early 20th century, making it one of the city's older communities, but in terms of its construction, it has a good mix going for it. Newer infills are becoming more common, but there is a lot made in the Pre-war era, the Post-WWII era and the ‘60s and ‘70s. Even the early 1980s saw some construction in Queen Alexandra. This is not a common sight and makes for a very architecturally interesting community. With a population of roughly 4,700 people spread across approximately 2,800 homes (as per the 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census), the area showcases a mix of housing styles, from vintage single-family houses to modern condominiums and apartments, reflecting its long and evolving history.
