The neighbourhood

Life in Glenora.

Glenora is one of Edmonton's oldest established neighbourhoods. Laid out a century ago along wide boulevards above the river valley, it remains a neighbourhood of stately brick-and-stucco homes, deep front lawns and elms that arch over the street in summer. It has a settled, unhurried feel, a place that has known what it is for a long time.

Daily life leans unhurried. Mornings begin with a walk down to the river valley trails or a short stroll to the shops along 124 Street, with its galleries, cafés and the farmers' market. Yet downtown sits only minutes away, which is much of the appeal: the calm of an established residential area with the whole city within easy reach.

Homes range from preserved period houses to thoughtful renovations and the occasional new build that respects the street's scale. Buyers here are rarely chasing the newest thing; they come for the location, the established setting and homes that hold their value over time.
