New construction homes
in Trumpeter, Edmonton.

Trumpeter is predominantly duplexes, but not exclusively — the duplex-heavy mix here is a real departure from most other communities in this guide, where single-family typically leads; just over a third of active listings (6 of 17) are single-family instead.

Common features across the current inventory: 9 homes list a garage, 0 have a side entrance (the standard precursor to a future basement suite), 2 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.

Trumpeter is in northwest Edmonton, in Ward Nakota Isga, on the shores of Big Lake — one of the youngest neighbourhoods in the city, established through the Big Lake Neighbourhood One Structure Plan adopted in June 2008 and officially named Trumpeter in August 2009. It is bounded by Winterburn Road (215 Street) to the west and north, 199 Street to the east, and a ravine to the south, placing Starling directly to its east.

Marketed as Trumpeter by Big Lake, the community is part of a broader Big Lake legacy that has added three communities and over 2,000 households since 2010, including Starling and Kinglet Gardens, with plans to grow to five communities in total.

The developer, Anthem (through United Big Lake LP), has assembled a builder roster including Jayman BUILT, Pacesetter Homes and Montorio 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 Anthem (United Big Lake LP)'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.
