Glenora is the neighbourhood other Edmonton neighbourhoods get compared to. Stately homes on wide lots, elms arching over the streets, Government House at one end and the river valley at the edge. It has been the city's premier address for over a century, and the assessment roll agrees — nothing else in this set comes close.

What surprises people is how much of it is being torn down. More residential-construction permits have been filed here since 2024 than in any neighbourhood we profile, while the property count fell — homes coming off the roll to be rebuilt. Luxury infill, rowhousing, and suites in basements and back yards. The character you are paying for is being actively replaced, lot by lot. Buy a street here, not a photograph of one.

The place

Community Profile

The location is the product. Downtown is minutes away, the river valley trail network is at the edge of the neighbourhood, and 124 Street gives you an actual shopping and dining street rather than a strip mall. Government House and the Royal Glenora Club anchor the north end. Glenora Park and the mature streets do the rest.

The housing stock splits in two, and the split is widening. On one side, original character homes from the 1910s through the 1950s on large lots. On the other, new luxury infill on those same lots, often with a suite in the basement or a second dwelling behind. The permit breakdown above shows how fast the second group is growing.

Getting around is easy by car and bike and adequate by bus. Stony Plain Road carries the transit routes and 124 Street has genuine cycling infrastructure. Most households here still run cars, but unlike the suburbs it is a choice rather than a requirement.

What Homes in Glenora Are Assessed At

Glenora’s median residential assessment sits at $741,750 73.9% above the Edmonton median of $426,500. Here is how that compares with the neighbourhoods right next door, which is the comparison that actually shapes what you can buy for your money.

  • Crestwood$773K
  • Glenora — this neighbourhood$742K
  • Westmount$455K
  • North Glenora$454K
  • Grovenor$451K
  • McQueen$435K
  • Wîhkwêntôwin$185K

One caution on reading this chart: each bar is a median across every residential property in that neighbourhood, houses and apartment condos together. An area with a lot of condo stock reads lower here — not because its houses are cheaper, but because the mix is different.

Source: City of Edmonton Open Data, property assessments (q7d6-ambg) — 2026 assessment and tax year · development permits to August 20, 2026. Residential properties assessed at $100,000 or more, which excludes parking stalls, storage units and vacant land. Assessed values are the City’s valuations for tax purposes, not sale prices.

Inside the range

With a garage on the roll (1,106)

The City records whether a property has a garage. That is a rough stand-in for the detached-house stock and nothing more — plenty of houses have no garage, and the flag says nothing about building type.

+35.6% in the median between 2015 and 2026, while the roll gained 16 properties.

Source: City of Edmonton Open Data, historical property assessments (qi6a-xuwt). Residential parcels assessed at $100,000 or more. The most recent year comes from the current assessment roll (q7d6-ambg), which classifies properties slightly differently — close enough to compare, not the same query.

Worth knowing

When the roll shrinks while the cranes arrive

Something unusual shows up in the table above. Between 2020 and 2025 Glenora's property count fell, even while construction permits surged. Those two facts look contradictory and are not. Lots get bought up and rebuilt as one, and homes drop off the roll when they are torn down, taking time to come back. The count measures finished, taxable properties — not intentions.

This matters for how you read the median. If the homes taken away are mostly the oldest and cheapest, the middle of what is left rises without any surviving house gaining a dollar. Selection, not growth. It is the same error as a growing suburb's inflated median, running backwards. There, cheap homes get diluted by new arrivals. Here, cheap homes get deleted.

The practical version. In a neighbourhood that is actively rebuilding itself, the neighbourhood median describes a moving target. What it can tell you is the band you are buying into. What it cannot tell you is what your specific house did, and in Glenora the gap between those two is wider than almost anywhere in the city.

On the ground

A development permit is an application to build, and its status is the City’s — approved, in progress, or under appeal. None of them is a finished building, and not every one gets built. They are the earliest public signal of what a block is becoming.

The carrying cost

Property Taxes Here

Edmonton sets one residential tax rate for the whole city, so Glenora has no rate of its own — your bill is that rate applied to your own assessed value. At the 2026 rate of 10.3637 per $1,000 of assessment, a home at Glenora’s median of $741,750 would carry about $7,687 a year — roughly $641 a month. The rate splits into 7.7419 municipal and 2.6218 provincial education.

Your own bill will differ, because your assessment will. If it looks wrong, it can be challenged — our Edmonton property tax guide walks through how the bill is built, and how to appeal an Edmonton property assessment covers the complaint process and its deadlines.

The honest read

Living in Glenora — Pros & Cons

What works

  • The location cannot be reproduced

    Minutes from downtown, on the river valley, with a real shopping street at 124 Street. Edmonton is not building another neighbourhood in this position.

  • Lots and trees you cannot buy new

    Wide, deep lots under a mature elm canopy. This is the single feature no new development can deliver at any price, and it is most of what the premium buys.

  • Character stock that still exists

    Original homes from the 1910s onward, many well kept. If you want a house with history rather than a reproduction of one, the inventory is here.

  • Demand has been durable

    The assessment history above shows steady movement across a decade in which several Edmonton neighbourhoods went sideways or backwards.

The tradeoffs

  • It is the most expensive neighbourhood on this site

    By a wide margin. Everything else here is a footnote next to the entry price, and the property tax that comes with a high assessment scales right along with it.

  • More teardowns than anywhere else we cover

    The permit record shows sustained demolition and rebuilding. Expect construction on your street, and expect the house next door to be replaced rather than renovated.

  • Century-old houses carry century-old problems

    Knob-and-tube, clay sewer lines, asbestos, foundations that predate modern drainage. Get a thorough inspection and a sewer scope, and price the work honestly before you waive conditions.

  • The character is not guaranteed to survive

    You may be paying a premium for a streetscape that is being replaced around you. If the heritage feel is why you are buying, look at what has already been approved nearby before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are homes in Glenora, Edmonton worth?

The public measure is the City's assessment roll, shown above with the city median and neighbouring areas for comparison. Glenora sits well above both. Assessed value is a tax figure with its own date, not a sale price. For actual selling prices, MLS® pricing for the area is free with a BestYEGHomes account.

Why is Glenora so expensive?

Location and land. It is minutes from downtown, on the river valley, beside a genuine shopping street, on wide lots under a mature canopy — a combination Edmonton is not building again. The premium is for the position and the lot far more than for the house standing on it.

Is Glenora a good place to buy in Edmonton?

It suits buyers who want the city's best-established location and can carry both the entry price and the maintenance an old house demands. It suits you less if you want a quiet, finished streetscape — this is the most actively redeveloping neighbourhood we profile.

Where can I see homes for sale in Glenora right now?

Current MLS® listings for the area are on our listings pages, updated daily from the REALTOR.ca data feed, and linked at the top of this page.

Is Glenora being redeveloped?

Heavily. The City calls it a redeveloping area, and the permit table above shows what that means: houses pulled down and rebuilt, rowhousing, and a lot of suites. Walk the block and check what has been approved nearby before you buy.

What are property taxes like in Glenora?

Edmonton applies one residential rate city-wide, so the neighbourhood has no rate of its own — but because Glenora's assessments are the highest in this set, the dollar amounts are too. The estimate above applies the current rate to the neighbourhood median.
