Where We Build: Greater Edmonton Builds

Greater Edmonton Custom Home Builds

The greater Edmonton area encompasses many surrounding communities that provide opportunities for custom-built infill homes.

Tempted to look for something outside of Edmonton's city limits home? Here are a few reasons why the greater Edmonton area is a prime destination to build your dream home:

●  Urban Style Living: Close proximity to Edmonton means homeowners can still experience an urban lifestyle in a more suburban setting.

● Building Opportunities: Areas surrounding Edmonton often have more expansive space available for development. This means designs don’t have to be compromised due to space restrictions, and homeowners can have more privacy thanks to larger lot sizes. Lower costs are also often associated with building in the city's surrounding areas.

● Lifestyle and Community: Neighbourhoods outside of the downtown core have the tendency to be seen as more quiet and peaceful, with a large emphasis on natural amenities like greenspaces, parks, lakes, and more.


Urbis in the Greater Edmonton Area

As we have been expanding our services to areas outside of Edmonton, there are a few communities that have emerged as the top locations for custom-built home projects.

●        St. Albert: Known for its family-friendly nature and abundance of greenspace, St. Albert is situated northwest of Edmonton. Opportunities for custom home builds primarily centre around luxury single-family homes and duplexes.

●        Sherwood Park: Located east of Edmonton, Sherwood Park is a large suburban community that is another great option for a custom home build. The area is home to some older neighbourhoods with mature greenery and large lots, making it ideal for updated, custom homes.

●        Spruce Grove: Found west of Edmonton, Spruce Grove is a growing community with a wide variety of housing options. There are many opportunities for custom-designed updates or new builds, from single-family homes to townhouses.

●        Fort Saskatchewan: This community is found northeast of Edmonton and has a unique, historic charm. With a mixture of new areas still under development and more mature neighbourhoods, there are many opportunities for custom infill home projects.

Some other desirable communities outside of Edmonton that offer great opportunities for homeowners to build their custom dream home include Leduc, Morinville, Beaumont, Devon, Nisku, Stony Plain, Gibbons, and Ardrossan.
