New construction homes
in The Orchards at Ellerslie, Edmonton.

The Orchards at Ellerslie is predominantly single-family, but not exclusively, but not exclusively — duplexes make up 29% of active listings (8 of 28), a meaningfully attached-home-heavy mix for a community this size.

Common features across the current inventory: 24 homes list a garage, 7 have a side entrance (the standard precursor to a future basement suite), 19 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.

The Orchards at Ellerslie is in southeast Edmonton, within the Ellerslie area, and was originally considered Neighbourhood 3 within the Ellerslie Area Structure Plan. The Orchards at Ellerslie Neighbourhood Structure Plan was adopted in 2007, though development did not begin until 2012. In 2017, the adjacent Ellerslie Neighbourhood 4 was folded into The Orchards at Ellerslie. It is bounded by the Ellerslie Industrial neighbourhood to the west, 25 Avenue SW to the north, 66 Street SW to the east — where it borders Mattson — and the city limits at 41 Avenue SW to the south.

The roughly 500-acre master-planned community is organized around a landscape plan of parks and tree-lined walkways, anchored by a private residents' club with a 12,000 sq ft clubhouse, an NHL-sized outdoor rink, tennis and pickleball courts, a spray park and a toboggan hill.

The developer, Brookfield Residential, markets the community as convenient to Anthony Henday Drive, with rear-laned homes starting from the high $400,000s and front-attached-garage homes from the high $500,000s.

The Orchards at Ellerslie is developed by Brookfield Residential. Builders listed as active in the community include Akash Homes, Brookfield Residential, Daytona Homes, Excel Homes and Homes by Avi.

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 Brookfield Residential'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.
