5 Excellent Neighborhoods in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada - Edmonton Tour Guide

- A couple weeks ago I did a video on my top 5 personal favorite neighborhoods in Edmonton, Alberta. There are so many more cool areas of the city and so I wanted to do another video on 5 more neighborhoods in the city worth checking out. And again, I am very biased towards the central core of the city, the areas around downtown, Whyte avenue and the central river valley.
The neighborhoods I cover in this video are Downtown, Highlands, Cloverdale, Ritchie and Garneau. These are all in the central core except for Highlands which is just northeast of the downtown area.
I plan on doing more neighborhood videos down the road.
Thanks for watching, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider liking and subscribing if you got some value out of this one, and I would love to hear your comments on your own personal favorite areas of Edmonton.
Disclaimer - As I was editing the audio I noticed again that I tend to repeat the word "neighborhood" too much, but I was tired of editing and wanted to wrap up the video. Something to work on in the future.
Please leave your comments below regarding your thoughts on the neighborhoods I highlighted, I'm also interested in what your own personal favorite areas of Edmonton are.
If you're interested in watching more of my videos and supporting a fledgling infant UA-cam channel then consider subscribing to my channel - I upload at least one new video per week.
Thanks for watching, cheers!

I grew up on 76 ave . The change tj that couple blocks has improved so .u h since i was a kid there.
Ritchie was run down when inwas a kid. Its awesome now !
That street has really developed into something cool! I lived in Ritchie for a couple years, great area overall and definitely one of the best neighborhoods in the city
As a 57 year life long resident of central Edmonton I would like to say your knowkwdge of Edmonton is awesome and bang on accurate
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback, I'm new to UA-cam/video production but I'm trying to make videos that bring people some value - cheers!
Great video footage - I really appreciate seeing my beloved city given it's proper due!
Thank you, weather has been nice so luckily was able to get some more video shot before the snow flies
Great video. Thinking of making the move to Edmonton from Vancouver for affordability and your videos are tailored to what I’m looking for - inner city older areas with character and not suburbs.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback, glad the video provided some value to you. As I stated in the video I'm also partial to inner city areas with history and character and I find the suburbs generally lame and dull. Edmonton really has a ton of options within the central core!
I would suggest people take the valley lrt and get off by the muttart conservatory and then have a picnic on the walking bridge .
Beautiful area, so cool that Cloverdale now has LRT!
Edmonton has so much potential.
I foresee a new boom period like we had in the 1980s, and I wouldn't be surprised if the metro population of Edmonton surpasses Calgary within 20-30 years!
@@strangenorth Totally agree. Our downtown is actually huge compared to Calgary area wise. With all the highrises being built filling in the whole area from Jasper to 124 and then north to 107 Ave and back to 82 will be a dense urban area.
The north east of downtown should have gentrified if they didn't put all the homeless shelters near Chinatown.
Edmonton already has twice the apartments that Calgary have. I see a much more urban city in the future. I think Calgary is only urban in their downtown and slightly across the river in Kensington. But it's no old Strathcona!
That's a great point actually - I definitely think Calgary's downtown is bigger and more bustling currently, but that area you outlined is indeed much bigger than Calgary's downtown and it's definitely getting denser with high-rise buildings.
Also a good point about the northeast end of downtown suffering due to the concentration of social services. I think we all have compassion for people with crap situations, but it's also true that this area of the core is pretty rough and sketchy.
I love Kensington in Calgary, neat little area - I also really enjoy the Inglewood region as well. I'm obviously into ghost legends and Inglewood is, by far, the most "haunted" neighborhood in Calgary!
Another great video, thank you! I think you picked some unique neighbourhoods. Have you considered doing a "Hidden Gems of Edmonton" video? Anyway, I also really like your cinematography, you're doing this city a great service!
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words! That's a great idea, I look forward to doing more Edmonton videos in the future. Cheers :)
love Highlands... the only thing that makes me sad about highlands is seeing the blight of the strathcona refineries to the east...
enjoying these neighbourhood videos!
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! Glad you're enjoying the neighborhood videos , one things I do like about refinery row is how they look at night - particularly when you're closer to them. I dunno, kinda reminds me of some sort of Star Wars base or something
Lived in Edmonton Downtown and SW for years. Downtown is great for young people, awesome restaurants. If you are a family, I would rank:
1) Magrath
2) Windermere
3) Sherwood Park
4) Glenora
5) Laurier Hieghts
6) callingwood south
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback! I would tend to agree, I have a bias towards the central core but the areas further out into the suburbs can definitely be better overall for families. Cheers
St Albert?
@@darkbroseph It’s okay, wasn’t ever really impressed. Lots of old people. People love St. Albert because they have always lived there.
100% agree the most interesting neighborhoods are in the central areas
Totally - the suburbs definitely has good qualities but I just think the central core is way more beautiful and interesting!
Wow
I loved and appreciated this video. Question: I lived in Edmonton during the 90'a before moving. It looks like I'll be coming back soon. When I did live there, I had the best time living near the top of Bellamy Hill and being downtown. You recommend living downtown, but in a previous video said the area was dangerous. What are things like, say, between 108th St to the west, 100th St to the east, 103rd Ave to the north, and 99th Ave to the south? Is that area safe?
Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate you watching! Yeah the buildings at the top of Bellamy Hill are really cool, great location and views. In the past few years downtown Edmonton has seen an increase in social disorder, but that goes for the whole city too. Downtown east of 99 street is definitely sketchier than other areas. But the area you described is fine overall. Downtown just has a lot of services, attractions and living options and so I consider it to be a solid place to live overall even though there are occasional problems. The neighborhood of Oliver to the west is also a fantastic central area to live, tons of services and living options as well - everything from small houses to tall high rise condos.
@@strangenorth Thank you for taking the time to reply. Your insight is really appreciated.
Anytime, I love discussing Edmonton with people who are new to the city or haven't lived here in awhile. All the best to you with your move! :)
That's a cool area ! When I was young many girls I knew lived there...I also had a great time 😂
Maybe the most interesting neighborhoods are central, but also most crime, poverty etc. Love to always visit these places but 100% visiting them and living on the south side of the henday
That's fair, and yes the core areas have more crime and open social disorder - plus frequent sirens, particularly downtown/Oliver!
Good day what are some areas in edmonton in regards to apartments that you would recommend?
Thanks for the question! Ok so I would first ask you what general area of the city you might be wanting to be (downtown area, Whyte ave, university etc.) - My number one recommendation overall is Oliver for apartment options, very central and close to tons of stuff. If you're wanting southside then Strathcona and Garneau both have a lot of apartment options. Did you have any particular area of the city in mind?
@@strangenorthOliver is a great recommendation
The Highlands is the best undiscovered gem in the city period and always has been. Why? It's on the east side which many Edmontonian's seem to have a weird almost bigoted hate against which is a shame because it's got some of the best skyline views, park and transit access not to mention deals on property in the city. I say this as a proud Greater Highlander who lives within siren range of the school bell every day... And if you're into progressive values/politics it's also the most left-wing in Alberta according to voting records. ;-)
My personal Top 5 are 1-Downtown 2-Strathcona 3-Oliver 4-The Dale's (River/Clover/Ross/Walter*) 5-Garneau all for the same reasons, near the river valley, diverse, great food/transit options but outside of the core The Highlands, Bonnie Doon, Richie, Forest Heights, Capilano, Virginia Park and Cromdale are in the honorable mention next best tier for the same reasons but lack either transit or retail options to make them the best neighbourhoods... I also hope The Quarters gets there one day because ideally that's where I'd like to live once it... ahem... calms down.. ;-) I had a friend who bought a condo there on 95th but bailed because of its various issues...
I love Highlands, I'm rooting for the commercial area around 112 ave to expand and diversify. Love the character overall and it is very pleasant to walk around! I agree about the eastside bias in Edmonton, the east side has a ton of character and beautiful areas. I want to cover the neighborhoods of McCauley and Boyle Street down the road - both downtown eastside areas with a sketchier reputation but they have a ton of great qualities and interesting history.
Thanks for your personal favorites, I'm interested to hear what people think. Edmonton really has a solid variety of unique neighborhoods. I really think the Quarters area and Jasper ave east of 95 street will be a region that will steadily improve in the future, has a lot of potential. I really appreciate the downtown eastside in general
Highlands is an awesome neighborhood. Good call !
The "love all serve all" building on whyte and about 97 st was a theatre when I was a kid called studio 82. On saturdays and sunday afternoons you could see a double feature for 50 cents. Popcorn was 15 cents . The movies were usually godzilla or old vincent price horror movies. At night it showed porn ! lol Me and my friends would get caught sneaking in when in junior high
Cool thanks for sharing that, I didn't know that! Interesting to see the movie theatre scene change over the years - I miss the dollar theatre on 99 street in the southside and the cheap theatre in the northside closed last year
@@strangenorth Yeah I miss the 99 st theatres . Didn't know the north side one closed
I was slightly off - actually it officially completely closed down just earlier this month, but it's out of commission.
@@strangenorth I hope they get the Princess running again. I frequent the Metro /Garneau a lot. Also hope the theatres downtown dont close. It's most of the stores have left downtown. I especially miss all the 5 and dime stores along 101 st North of Jasper. Woolworth,kresgee's, Metropolitan,Zellers,and Army and Navy. The ball the big department stores ,Eaton's ,Bay Woodwards,etc.
Also shops along Jasper ,which was more like Whyte storefronts. Again a shame it's gone.
