The Summerside neighbourhood is located to the south of Ellerslie Road, and west of 66 Street. It’s western border intersects 

with Parsons Road. Surrounding neighbourhoods include Ellerslie, Charlesworth, and Walker. As of 2012, Summerside’s population was just under 16,000. Like many of Edmonton’s quickly growing communities, Summerside is a planned community. This means that residential subdivisions are balanced with recreational and commercial zones to provide the best quality of life possible!  To read all about Summerside’s Neighbourhood Structure Plan see here.

The beauty of living in Summerside, is that you really can have it all. Balance your day between the beach and the office without ever having to leave the comfort of your own neighbourhood. Summerside offers a huge variety of cultural experiences. Always a favourite is The Muttart Conservatory, where you can walk through climate controlled pyramids each displaying a totally different climate!

Summerside was built with efficiency and usability in mind. For this reason, arterial and collector roads form a grid pattern that runs on the border of the neighbourhood. Public transportation also provides convenient service between downtown Edmonton, and Summerside. For getting around within the neighbourhood, you’ll find bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.

Located in the south of Edmonton, and surrounding Summerside Lake you will find modern, detached homes. While all of Edmonton’s other lakes have been built for the purpose of storm water management, Summerside Lake is the city’s first “purpose built man made lake.” For those who love communing with nature, but don’t want to drive for hours into the countryside, Summerside has your name all over it. Summerside offers competitively priced luxury homes as well as more affordable starter homes. There is something for every budget in Summerside.  75% of the homes in Summerside are detached, single dwelling residences. The other quarter are low rise apartment buildings and townhomes. Construction began in Summerside in the early 2000s. As a result, every home has been built to contemporary building standards, and offers many modern day amenities. For example, spacious and efficient floor plans, stainless steel appliances, attached garages, and beautiful landscaping.

Living in Summerside is about appreciating the great outdoors. For many, landscaping, and curb appeal are top priorities. Many homes proudly offer lake views, and large front yards and backyards.  The ability to share communal infrastructure, such as schools, playgrounds, parks, and community centres was one of Summerside’s intentions. That’s why parks and schools - one public, and one private - are located in convenient, central locations.
