Magrath Heights is a southwest Edmonton neighbourhood in Terwillegar Heights, established by its 2003 area plan and built mostly through the 2000s and 2010s. It runs from Rabbit Hill Road (142 Street) in the west to the Whitemud Creek ravine in the east, between 23 Avenue and the MacTaggart neighbourhood — a pocket of larger detached homes, many on ravine-edge lots, with Magrath Heights Park at its centre and Terwillegar Towne's shops and schools minutes north. It suits move-up buyers who want ravine living in the Terwillegar area, and downsizers selling out of its biggest homes.

Schools serving Magrath Heights

Checked October 2026 against Edmonton Public Schools (epsb.ca) and Edmonton Catholic Schools (ecsd.net) sources. No school is located inside Magrath Heights itself — its designated schools sit in the surrounding Terwillegar-area neighbourhoods. School boundaries and programs change — confirm designation with the school board before you buy.

Edmonton Public Schools

• Nellie Carlson School (K–9) — located in MacTaggart, immediately south; its stated service area runs south of 23 Avenue to Anthony Henday Drive and east to Whitemud Creek, which covers Magrath Heights.
• Lillian Osborne School (Grades 10–12) — designated public senior high for the Terwillegar area; International Baccalaureate.

My local favorites in Magrath Heights

• Whitemud Creek ravine — the neighbourhood's east wall is a treed valley: trails along the creek connect north toward the river valley system and south through MacTaggart, including the MacTaggart Sanctuary trails across the creek.
• Magrath Heights Park (243 Magrath Boulevard) — playground and green space at the neighbourhood's centre, the dog-walking and kid-meeting hub of the local streets.
• Terwillegar Towne, minutes north — the shops, services and Esther Starkman School area around Towne Centre Boulevard cover Magrath's daily needs without a Henday trip.
• Rabbit Hill Road itself — the corridor south leads to Rabbit Hill Snow Resort for winter skiing minutes from home.

Insider tips for Magrath Heights

• Ravine lots are the neighbourhood's premium tier. Whitemud Creek-edge homes price on the view and the privacy — and come with the standard ravine homework: top-of-bank setbacks and slope/geotechnical checks in your conditions.
• There's a homeowners association. Magrath Heights has an HOA — confirm the current fees and what they cover (enhanced landscaping/maintenance) as part of your closing costs.
• 2000s–2010s builds are entering the systems window. Furnaces, water tanks and roofs on the earliest Magrath homes are mid-life — inspection items to price in, not deal-breakers.
• Downsizer demand is structural here. Larger two-storeys near a ravine, in a neighbourhood this age, draw both move-up families and estate buyers — well-kept Magrath homes with main-floor living potential get attention from two directions at once.

Who Magrath Heights suits

• Move-up buyers — larger 2000s detached homes in the Terwillegar area without building new.
• Downsizers and estate sellers — a core Magrath market; right-sizing out of a big ravine home is core SRES® work.
• Ravine and trail households — Whitemud Creek at the back fence, Terwillegar Park a short drive south.
• Terwillegar-committed families — Lillian Osborne (IB) senior high and the Terwillegar Towne amenity core nearby.
• Sellers — low turnover and ravine-tier pricing mean comparables need care: ravine vs. interior street is two markets.
