New construction homes
in Aster, Edmonton.

Aster is predominantly single-family, but not exclusively — at 36% of active listings, the duplex share here is unusually high for a still-developing community, worth knowing if a detached lot specifically matters to you

Common features across the current inventory: 32 homes list a garage, 17 have a side entrance (the standard precursor to a future basement suite), 31 include a bonus room. 0 listings currently have a finished basement suite — so if suite income is your goal here, most buyers are working from a side entrance and finishing it themselves.

Aster is in southeast Edmonton, within The Meadows area structure plan, in Ward Sspomitapi. It was officially named on 30 April 2014, after the flowering aster plants common throughout Alberta, and was originally designated Neighbourhood 5 within The Meadows Area Structure Plan. It is bounded on the north by a future realignment of 23 Avenue NW, on the east and south by Anthony Henday Drive, and on the west by 17 Street NW.

Its southern neighbour, once planned under the working name “Decoteau North,” was later developed and renamed Alces — also covered on this site. Aster is planned for roughly 45 units per hectare, including provision for four-storey multi-family walk-ups alongside single-family and duplex lots, and the community has areas set aside for two future schools.

The developer, Qualico Communities, markets Aster as minutes from Anthony Henday Drive, with trails and green space woven through the neighbourhood as it builds out.

Aster is developed by Qualico Communities. Builders listed as active in the community include Broadview Homes, Coventry, Impact Homes, Landmark, Pacesetter Homes, Sterling, StreetSide and Victory Homes.

A note on how we source this. The MLS® feed behind this site carries the listing brokerage, not the builder, so we cannot automatically attribute a specific home to a specific builder from the feed alone. The builder list above comes from Qualico Communities' own community materials.

Catchments in developing neighbourhoods change as schools are built and boundaries are redrawn, and we would rather send you to the authoritative source than publish a list that quietly goes stale. Both Edmonton school boards maintain official address-level finders:

• Edmonton Public Schools — Find a School
• Edmonton Catholic Schools — Find a School

Enter the exact address of any home you are considering — in a newer neighbourhood, two homes a few blocks apart can fall into different catchments.

The 1 community bordering Aster is active new-construction market in its own right. Together with Aster they account for 96 active new-construction listings in one contiguous stretch of Edmonton — a genuinely efficient area to shop, since you can compare 2 communities in an afternoon.

The pattern worth noticing: all 2 communities price within a narrow band of each other. Across the group, price per square foot is close enough that the differences are mostly about home size and lot type rather than a premium for the postal code.

The median new-construction list price in Aster is $500,799, about 8% below the Edmonton-wide new-construction median of $545,998.

On a price-per-square-foot basis the two are almost identical: $305 in Aster versus $308 across Edmonton, so the headline cheaper price mainly reflects home size rather than value. Within Aster itself, price per square foot ranges from $273 to $413, a spread wide enough that lot position, finish level and builder all clearly move the number.
