Schools in Windermere
St. John XXIII Catholic School and Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour School are both well-regarded. A growing area means engaged parent communities, with access to recreation and educational resources.
Always verify your designated school before you buy. Catchment boundaries change annually and this guide is not a substitute for confirming directly with the school boards.
Verify your designated school: Edmonton Public Schools: Find a School · Edmonton Catholic Schools: Locate Your School
Commute & Getting Around
25-30 minutes to downtown. Quick access to Anthony Henday and Edmonton International Airport. Better suited for flexible or south-side commutes.

Lifestyle & Community
Upscale, spacious, with river valley views. Shopping at Currents of Windermere. Recreation at Terwillegar Rec Centre and Snow Valley. Windermere Golf & Country Club adds private amenity access. Feels exclusive and suburban-luxe.

This May Not Be for You If
A luxury, estate-oriented single-family market is outside what you're looking for. You work downtown daily. You prefer central, walkable living over car-dependent suburban comfort.
