Parkview has a rare Edmonton combo: it sits right on the North Saskatchewan River Valley but also has a true, walkable neighbourhood hub in the middle—Valleyview Shopping Centre on 142 Street. That “everything you need, without leaving the neighbourhood” feel is why many buyers search Parkview Houses for Sale specifically, rather than simply “west Edmonton.”

Parkview is also one of the larger mature neighbourhoods on the west side, with a modified grid layout and strong access to Whitemud Drive and Stony Plain Road. Most of the residential build-out happened in the mid-to-late 1950s, so detached options lean heavily toward classic family layouts on established streets.

Parkview behaves like a premium mature-area market: low turnover, strong demand for lot utility, and a steady stream of renovation and infill activity.

Pricing signals (use them as a compass, then price the street)

• Average neighbourhood value signal: about $929,648 (current month).

• Sold price per square foot signal: about $529/sqft (current month; swings widely with renovation quality).

• Active listings snapshot: about 16 homes for sale, with a median list price around $1.7M and a broad range from roughly $550K to $9.0M.

The practical takeaway: Parkview has entry points, but the median and upper ranges are pulled up by large-lot properties, high-end renovations, and newer builds that price the neighbourhood as a lifestyle location.

What types of houses you’ll see in Parkview

Parkview’s detached supply is more consistent than many neighbourhoods, because the main build-out was concentrated.

Common inventory patterns

• 1950s bungalows and splits: strong lot utility and mature landscaping; condition varies by mechanical updates

• Renovated “keeper” homes: where the renovation scope and permit history drive value more than the original year built

• Newer builds/infill: modern layouts and higher price-per-square-foot expectations, especially on quieter blocks

Parkview is the kind of neighbourhood where the listing photos can look similar—until you understand the street and lot dynamics.

1) Choose your lane: renovation, move-in-ready, or infill

Parkview supports all three, but your risk profile changes:

• Renovators should prioritize mechanical and drainage clarity.

• Move-in-ready buyers should verify permits and scope.

• Infill buyers should compare true street-level comps, not just “new build” averages.

2) On 1950s homes, inspect the expensive systems early

Before you negotiate on cosmetics, confirm:

• sewer line status and drainage/grading history

• roof age and attic ventilation

• electrical panel capacity and wiring updates

• foundation performance and moisture history

3) Pay attention to traffic geometry and school-hour patterns

Parkview’s appeal includes being close to major routes while still feeling residential inside. Your experience depends on how close you are to key connectors, and how school traffic affects daily flow on your block.

4) Understand how rezoning and corridor sites can change edges

Parkview has active planning discussions near major roads. A recent rezoning file near 142 Street and 91 Avenue proposes a six-storey (21 m) mixed-use form with commercial at grade. That matters most if you’re buying close to corridor edges.

5) Pick a REALTOR® who can read lot value in Parkview

In Parkview, value is often land-driven. The right guidance is:

• which blocks trade at premiums

• how lot width, alley access, and garage potential change resale

• when a “nice renovation” is priced correctly versus priced for a fantasy buyer

Parkview isn’t trying to be trendy. It’s built for daily life.

A real neighbourhood hub in the middle

Valleyview Shopping Centre sits on 142 Street in the heart of Parkview—an unusual placement in Edmonton, and a practical advantage for detached buyers who want errands close to home.

River Valley access without feeling isolated

Being adjacent to the River Valley is a lifestyle multiplier: trails, winter walks, and quick access to green space without needing a destination drive.

Family-friendly schooling right in the community

Parkview School runs K–9, making it a strong “one campus for years” option for many families. St. Rose Catholic Junior High is also nearby for families wanting that stream.

Buena Vista Road amenities that feel like a weekend upgrade

The Edmonton Valley Zoo and Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park are both on Buena Vista Road—close enough that they become part of your regular routine, not an occasional outing.
