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

About Leduc

Part of Edmonton’s greater capital region, Leduc is a thriving central Alberta city with roots dating back to the late 1800s. Leduc’s humble beginnings can be traced back to Canadian pioneer Robert Taylor Telford, who settled near the scenic lake that would later become his namesake. As the settlement gradually grew, the area became informally known as Telford until, in 1890, the community was renamed after Father Hippolyte Leduc.

Leduc’s population quickly grew, shifting from village to town status by 1906. Finally, Leduc was recognized as a city in 1983, over which time the municipality expanded rapidly due to the unearthing of several oil reserves. This discovery was said to be “the beginning of a massive economic revolution for Leduc and Alberta,” where Alberta shifted from a predominantly agricultural/rural province to a major contender in the oil and gas industry.

Today, Leduc is a flourishing city of over 30,000. Situated just moments away from the Edmonton International Airport and along Alberta’s premier Queen Elizabeth Highway (QE2), Leduc has become Alberta’s unofficial epicentre for economic connection on a global scale.

Leduc Homes For Sale

From affordable new condos to lavish luxury homes, Leduc has something to offer every taste, budget and lifestyle.

Leduc Single-Family Homes

Single-family homes account for the majority of real estate opportunities in Leduc. These include everything from brand-new builds to upgraded split-level, ranch and bungalow-style properties constructed during the 50s and 60s. As a result, detached home prices may start as low as the early 300s but vary according to size, style, location and features.

New Construction Homes – As Alberta’s 10th largest city and growing, Leduc features a number of new and developing neighbourhoods, known for their beautifully crafted new construction homes. For instance, budding communities such as Black Stone, Deer Valley and Meadowview Park offer buyers a wide variety of modern homes where features such as open floor plans, spa-like ensuites, and high-end finishes come standard.

Character and Infill Homes – Buyers searching for the quiet charm only a mature neighbourhood can provide are also in luck. Established communities such as North Telford, South Telford and Alexandra Park are not only among the city’s oldest but also offer the greatest variety when it comes to updated character homes and modern new infill properties.

Manufactured Homes – Leduc is currently home to two well-maintained manufactured home communities – Aspen Creek Mobile Home Park (located in Suntree, southwest Leduc) and Willow Park Estates (Willow Park, north Leduc). Offering a tight-knit and friendly atmosphere, these one-of-a-kind neighbourhoods provide buyers with the best of both worlds when it comes to detached family living on a budget.

Luxury Properties and Estates – The City of Leduc and surrounding Leduc Country also offer no shortage of high-end luxury homes. For instance, neighbourhoods such as Southfork, West Haven and Windrose are a prime choice among discerning buyers in search of a lavish custom-built property. Those preferring a little more room to grow also have their choice of vast luxury acreages and estate properties situated in surrounding Leduc County.

…And Everything in Between – From four-level split and ranch style homes to convenient front attached and rear laned properties, Leduc home buyers enjoy having a huge selection of single-family homes to choose from.

Affordable Townhomes and Apartment-Style Condos
