The neighbourhood

Life in Sherwood Park.

Sherwood Park gives you room to breathe just minutes east of Edmonton. As the hub of Strathcona County, it pairs established estate enclaves with steadily growing new communities, and a level of recreation and amenity that belies its size. The feeling is open and unhurried: space and greenery without giving up convenience.

Daily life is easy here. Major shopping, recreation centres, sports fields and trails are woven throughout, and the commute into Edmonton is short and direct. Mature areas offer large, treed lots and settled streets, while newer phases bring contemporary homes and modern community planning.

That range is the draw: buyers can find a generous estate property or a brand-new family home within the same community, all backed by the services and recreation Strathcona County is known for. For those who want more room a short drive from the city, Sherwood Park delivers.
