Commute & Getting Around

Roughly 12-15 minutes to downtown via 107 or 111 Avenue, and straightforward access to Groat Road for the University of Alberta. Westmount Centre and the 124 Street district are minutes away. The Valley Line West LRT along Stony Plain Road will serve the area's southern edge when it opens.

Lifestyle & Community

Quiet, unhurried streets with mature trees, Coronation Park practically next door (with the Peter Hemingway Fitness & Leisure Centre) and everyday shopping at Westmount. McQueen is one of those neighbourhoods people discover and then realize they got the mature trees, the same strong-schools conversation, and a shorter line at the rec centre.

This May Not Be for You If

You want river-valley adjacency or ravine lots — that's the territory of Crestwood and Parkview, one pocket south. You want a fully renovated streetscape; McQueen is mid-transition, and infill construction is part of the deal.
