Edmonton's Lake District is a residential area in northeast Edmonton, planned under the Edmonton North Area Structure Plan that City Council first approved in 1979. It runs from 97 Street to 66 Street and from 153 Avenue to Anthony Henday Drive. It was designed around stormwater lakes, parks and walking paths.
Which neighbourhoods are in the Lake District?
The Lake District has nine neighbourhoods, each named after water in another language. Most were built between the 1980s and 2000s; Schonsee and Crystallina Nera are newer. Lakes and linked pathways run through nearly every neighbourhood, and detached homes dominate, according to City of Edmonton neighbourhood profiles.
