New construction homes
in Desrochers, Edmonton.

Desrochers has a genuinely mixed inventory, led by single-family, with townhomes (6 of 16) and a handful of condos (3) reflecting the Desrochers Villages phase alongside single-family lots in the surrounding area.

Common features across the current inventory: 8 homes list a garage, 4 have a side entrance (the standard precursor to a future basement suite), 7 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.

Desrochers is in southwest Edmonton, within the Heritage Valley area, directly east of Chappelle — also covered on this site. The Desrochers Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (Bylaw 15552) was adopted by City Council in November 2010, with development expected to begin the following year.

The neighbourhood is genuinely mixed in form: current listings span a condo and townhome phase — Desrochers Villages, on 141 Street SW — alongside single-family lots on streets including Dixon Way and Dixon Landing SW, reflecting more than one builder working the area rather than a single coordinated subdivision.

Like the rest of Heritage Valley, Desrochers sits within reach of Anthony Henday Drive and the broader amenities shared with neighbouring Chappelle.

Desrochers, like Chappelle next door, is not a single developer’s subdivision — it spans more than one building phase. The condo and townhome phase, marketed as Desrochers Villages, is being built by Landmark Homes and StreetSide; the current inventory also includes single-family lots outside that phase, brought to market independently.

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 several builders, no single master developer's 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 Desrochers is active new-construction market in its own right. Together with Desrochers they account for 66 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: Chappelle carries a meaningfully higher median. 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 Desrochers is $329,998, about 40% below the Edmonton-wide new-construction median of $545,998.

On a price-per-square-foot basis the two are almost identical: $312 in Desrochers versus $308 across Edmonton, so the headline cheaper price mainly reflects home size rather than value. Within Desrochers itself, price per square foot ranges from $262 to $347, a spread wide enough that lot position, finish level and builder all clearly move the number.
