New construction homes
in River’s Edge, Edmonton.

River's Edge is predominantly single-family, but not exclusively — the duplex share here (16 of 59 listings, 27%) is a real structural difference from an all-single-family subdivision, worth knowing if a detached lot specifically matters to you

Common features across the current inventory: 31 homes list a garage, 15 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.

River’s Edge sits in Edmonton’s West sector, in the sipiwiyiniwak Ward, immediately south of The Uplands. Per the City of Edmonton’s Neighbourhood Structure Plan it is bounded on the north by The Uplands, on the northeast by Anthony Henday Drive, on the east and south by the North Saskatchewan River valley, on the southwest by Grandisle, and on the west by Stillwater.

It shares the Riverview area plan with The Uplands and was approved the same day: the Riverview Neighbourhood 3 (River’s Edge) Structure Plan was adopted by City Council on 22 September 2015, the same date as The Uplands’ own plan. The area was originally named “River Alder” by the City’s Naming Committee in June 2015, then renamed River’s Edge after developers appealed. Like The Uplands, it is still classified as a developing neighbourhood, which is why its entire for-sale inventory is new construction.

Current listings are concentrated around 188th Street NW, near 18th Avenue NW, in west Edmonton off Maskêkosihk Trail. The developer, Qualico Communities, markets the community as minutes from Anthony Henday Drive.

River's Edge is developed by Qualico Communities. Builders listed as active in the community include Broadview Homes, Coventry, Homes by AVI, Impact Homes, Jayman, Landmark Homes, Look Homes, Pacesetter Homes, Parkwood 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 2 communities bordering River's Edge are active new-construction markets in their own right. Together with River's Edge they account for 189 active new-construction listings in one contiguous stretch of Edmonton — a genuinely efficient area to shop, since you can compare 3 communities in an afternoon.

The pattern worth noticing: The Uplands 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 River's Edge is $503,997, about 8% below the Edmonton-wide new-construction median of $545,998.

On a price-per-square-foot basis the two are almost identical: $303 in River's Edge versus $308 across Edmonton, so the headline cheaper price mainly reflects home size rather than value. Within River's Edge itself, price per square foot ranges from $270 to $616, a spread wide enough that lot position, finish level and builder all clearly move the number.
