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.
Modern luxury in the heart of Queen Alexandra. This thoughtfully crafted infill blends clean lines with timeless design. The airy main floor features brushed oak hardwood, soaring ceilings, and a stunning kitchen with walnut and high-gloss cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances. A spacious dining area overlooks the landscaped yard, while the sleek linear fireplace adds warmth and style. Upstairs, retreat to a serene primary suite with a spa-inspired ensuite—freestanding tub, glass walk-in shower—and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a sunlit office desk space, and a large laundry room offer comfort and flexibility. The finished basement offers a rec room, guest bedroom, full bath, and ample storage. Outside, enjoy a private yard and double detached garage. Just minutes from the University of Alberta, Whyte Ave, the river valley, and downtown. A rare blend of design, comfort, and location—don’t miss out!More details
