About Northeast Edmonton 

Northeast Edmonton is defined by 97th Street to the west, Edmonton city limits to the north and east and Yellowhead Trail to the south. A handful of neighbourhoods south of Yellowhead Trail and north of the North Saskatchewan River are also part of greater Northeast Edmonton.

Many of Northeast Edmonton’s more mature neighbourhoods, such as those closest to the North Saskatchewan River Valley, started as separate towns or villages before amalgamating with the Greater City of Edmonton. For instance, what we now know to be the Beverly area, was once the Town of Beverly, (whose sign still marks the entrance to this vibrant community).

Since its humble beginnings, Northeast Edmonton has expanded to include over fifty fantastic neighbourhoods, including many brand-new communities in the area’s far northeast. Highlighted by incredible amenities, affordable home styles and excellent access to downtown (and the greater capital region), it’s no wonder so many Edmontonians love to call Northeast Edmonton home.
