New construction homes
in Mattson, Edmonton.

Mattson is overwhelmingly a single-family neighbourhood — at 77% of active listings, well above the roughly 70% single-family share typical of Edmonton's new-construction market overall.

Common features across the current inventory: 18 homes list a garage, 11 have a side entrance (the standard precursor to a future basement suite), 16 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.

Mattson is in south Edmonton, in Ward Karhiio, within the Southeast sector — one of the city's newer neighbourhoods, still classified as a future/developing area. It was officially named in July 2012, after Norman Mattson, a prominent Alberta land surveyor, and was originally designated Southeast Neighbourhood 3 within the Southeast Area Structure Plan. It is bounded by The Orchards at Ellerslie and the former Ellerslie Neighbourhood 4 to the west across 66 Street SW, the Walker neighbourhood to the north across a future 25 Avenue SW, 50 Street to the east, and Leduc County to the south across 41 Avenue SW.

Marketed as Perch at Mattson, the community sits between 66 Street and 25 Avenue SW, built around trees and ponds, with two future school sites and a commercial hub planned nearby.

The developer, Melcor Developments, has assembled a builder roster for the community including Bedrock Homes, Rohit Homes and San Rufo 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 Melcor Developments' 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 pattern worth noticing: The Orchards at Ellerslie sits below Mattson. 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 Mattson is $609,648, about 12% above the Edmonton-wide new-construction median of $545,998.

On a price-per-square-foot basis the two are almost identical: $304 in Mattson versus $308 across Edmonton, so the headline pricier price mainly reflects home size rather than value. Within Mattson itself, price per square foot ranges from $270 to $362, a spread wide enough that lot position, finish level and builder all clearly move the number.
