New construction homes
in Blatchford, Edmonton.

Blatchford is overwhelmingly a townhome neighbourhood — every one of the 6 active listings is a townhome, consistent with Blatchford's higher-density, car-light master plan rather than the single-family-dominant pattern typical of a greenfield Edmonton suburb

Common features across the current inventory: 5 homes list a garage, 0 have a side entrance (the standard precursor to a future basement suite), 1 include a bonus room. 0 listings currently have a finished basement suite — so if suite income is your goal here, some buyers are working from a side entrance and finishing it themselves.

Blatchford is in Ward O’day’min, in central Edmonton, on the site of the former City Centre Airport — itself named after Kenneth Blatchford, the Edmonton mayor who helped establish Blatchford Field, Canada's first licensed municipal airfield, in 1926. City Council voted to close the airport in 2009; the last flight departed November 30, 2013, and the community was named Blatchford in 2012.

Infrastructure groundbreaking began in 2015, the first developer broke ground in 2019, and the first residents moved in November 2020. As of 2025 roughly 400 residences are occupied or under construction, with full build-out now expected around 2042. The plan calls for over 80 acres of parks — about double the green space of a typical Edmonton neighbourhood — and operating LRT service at the NAIT/Blatchford Market station, with a further Blatchford Gate station planned.

Blatchford is unlike every other community on this site: the City of Edmonton itself is the master developer. The City services and sells individual parcels to private builders, funded through those land sales rather than property tax, and each builder must meet Blatchford’s custom green building code — mandatory solar panels, connection to a district geoexchange energy system, and low-impact stormwater design. We were not able to confirm a current, complete roster of the individual builders active on site, so we are not publishing a builder list we cannot stand behind — if a specific builder matters to you, the City’s own Blatchford project office can confirm who currently holds an active parcel.

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, and unlike a single-developer suburb there is no one company’s marketing site to pull a roster from.

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 median new-construction list price in Blatchford is $409,998, about 25% below the Edmonton-wide new-construction median of $548,800.

Price per square foot runs the other way, though: $380 in Blatchford against $308 across Edmonton — so despite the headline gap, homes here are not simply cheaper per foot. Within Blatchford itself, price per square foot ranges from $295 to $554, a spread wide enough that lot position, finish level and builder all clearly move the number.
