Edmonton’s Best Manufactured Home Communities: Westview Village

September 17, 2021 7:00 am Published by Terry Paranych Real Estate Group

Manufactured homes are rapidly becoming the go-to choice among Edmonton home buyers, and not just because they represent some of the most affordable homes for sale on the Edmonton market. Following their ultra-low-price tag, these models are highly sought after due to the unique community atmosphere they provide – an atmosphere you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

Located in nearly every quadrant of the city, these one-of-a-kind neighbourhoods can be found throughout the capital region, each celebrated for its accessible location, distinct community features, and budget-friendly homes.

Westview Village in Northeast Edmonton

Westview Village is an 185-acre manufactured home community tucked away in semi-rural West Edmonton. Located along Winterburn Road between Highway 16 and 16A, this highly desirable neighbourhood was once a part of Parkland County, until annexed by the City of Edmonton in the early 1980s. The community itself was first established in the early 1970s, when roughly half of all homes were moved to the area, with several more arriving over the next few decades.

Today, Westview Village has flourished into a thriving neighbourhood of over 2,000 residents – highly celebrated for its peaceful setting, proximity to amenities, affordable homes and one-of-a-kind community atmosphere.

Single-Family Home Features

Westview’s manufactured homes offer buyers the same features of a regular site-built single-family home at a fraction of the price. These include older homes featuring plenty of character, mature landscaping and recent upgrades as well as newly manufactured properties outfitted with the modern amenities buyers crave. Westview Village homes also include an average of three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,200 square feet of functional living space.

But that’s not all!

One of many reasons manufactured home communities are so popular is their inclusion of exclusive onsite amenities. As a result, they maintain a tight-knit community atmosphere and an unparalleled sense of safety and security.

Extremely family-oriented, Westview offers a number of fantastic features and facilities, reserved especially for local residents. In addition to an active community association that oversees various events and programs, onsite amenities include:

West Edmonton’s Best Amenities

Westview Village offers the best of both worlds when it comes to quiet, country living and big-city amenities. Besides the many onsite features mentioned above, the community sits within short driving distance of West Edmonton’s best amenities – including world-famous West Edmonton Mall.

One Great Location

As mentioned above, Westview Village strikes the perfect balance between semi-seclusion and ultra-accessibility. Thoughtfully developed to maintain a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere, the neighbourhood’s internal roads follow a modified grid system, characterized peaceful cul-de-sacs.

Surrounded by farmland on three sides, the community remains slightly removed from the noise and traffic of Edmonton. However, residents can easily reach both the greater city and the surrounding capital region, thanks to several nearby thoroughfares.

Bounded by 231st Street to the west and Winterburn Road to the east, Westview Village sits less than 5-minutes drive from Highways 16 (Yellowhead Trail) and 16A. As a result, commuters can easily reach the west Anthony Henday, Whitemud Drive and the surrounding municipalities of St. Albert, Spruce Grove and Stony Plain in no time at all. Downtown Edmonton can also be reached in 20-minutes via Yellowhead Trail and 97th Street.

Finally, the area features full city transit service, with stops located both within the community and along bordering Winterburn Road. Operating throughout the day, transit provides a 10-minute ride to Lewis Farms Park and Ride.
