Your Guide to Sherwood Park Real Estate

Are you in search of homes for sale or other real estate opportunities in Sherwood Park? Here’s what you need to know.

About Sherwood Park 

Converted from farmland into a satellite town in the early 1950s, Sherwood Park was formerly referred to as “Campbelltown” honouring one of the area’s developers, John Hook Campbell. As of 1955, Campbelltown’s first model homes were constructed to accommodate those working in various east Edmonton industries. The hamlet’s name was changed to Sherwood Park in 1956, however. Canada Post would not approve Campbelltown due to several pre-existing communities with a similar name.  

Despite being recognized as one of the largest “cities” in Alberta, Sherwood Park retains its status as a hamlet (better known as the world’s largest hamlet), with a population of over 70,000. A thriving community offering endless amenities, a broad range of home styles and close proximity to east Edmonton, Sherwood Park has something to offer every lifestyle and budget.

Sherwood Park Homes For Sale 

Sherwood Park Single Family Homes

Detached homes account for the majority of home styles within Sherwood Park. These include everything from recently constructed two-storey models to upgraded split-level, ranch and bungalows dating back to the 50s, 60s and 70s. Single-family home prices typically start in the high 300s but vary according to size, style and location. 

New Construction Homes – As a community growing in both size and popularity, Sherwood Park provides no shortage of new construction homes. Developing neighbourhoods such as Salisbury Village, Summerwood, Aspen Trails and Emerald Hills offer modern home buyers a broad range of contemporary styles (detached homes, duplexes, townhomes and condos) outfitted with the latest in design, features and finishes. 

Manufactured Homes – Sherwood Park’s manufactured homes offer many of the same benefits as a traditional single-family home at a fraction of the cost. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,300 square feet of family living space are just a few of the many desirable features to expect in a manufactured home. Sherwood Park’s premier manufactured home communities include Lakeland Village and Jubilee Landing.

Quaint family bungalows are prominent in these areas, with an average of four bedrooms, three bathrooms and eye-catching new upgrades.

Thanks to their quiet atmosphere and tree-lined streets, these mature communities are also a prime spot for infill homes. Expertly crafted and designed, these bespoke new properties offer buyers the best of both worlds when it comes to modern living in a charming, older community.
