Glenora vs Westmount: Edmonton's Two Grand Old Central Neighbourhoods

Glenora and Westmount are the two heritage names buyers weigh in central Edmonton — and they are not the same price conversation. Glenora's single-family median is $1,045,000, the highest in the city; Westmount's is $616,500. Both trade in character homes on tree-lined streets, but Glenora trades at estate scale (a $2,943,000 top sale) while Westmount moves faster — a median of just 20 days on market. All figures: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026.

The head-to-head

Two different products: the estate address vs the working character market

Glenora sells the address. Ravine lots, historic mansions and high-end infill: its 49 single-family sales ran from $455,000 to $2,943,000 at $522 per square foot — the priciest ground in Edmonton. Its 17 condo sales, at a $117,500 median, are mostly small older units and are not a luxury condo market; Glenora is a houses neighbourhood.

Westmount sells character at a working price. 68 detached sales at a $616,500 median and $438 per square foot — grand old homes and quality infill around 124 Street, roughly $430,000 under Glenora at the median. Its condo layer is bigger and more useful: 55 sales at a $181,500 median, a genuine downtown-adjacent entry point.

Direction and pace: Glenora's top end jumped, Westmount cooled and sped up

Glenora's single-family median rose 21.5% year over year ($860,000 to $1,045,000) — with only 49 sales, a handful of estate closings can pull the median hard, so read it as 'the top end traded up,' not 'every Glenora home gained a fifth.' Westmount's median eased 11.2% ($694,500 to $616,500) on a larger 68-sale sample.

Pace favours Westmount sellers: 20 median days on market against Glenora's 30, and Westmount houses sold at 98.9% of asking against Glenora's 96.9% — at Glenora's prices, buyers negotiate; at Westmount's, they compete.

Which one fits you

Choose Glenora if the address and the lot are the purchase — ravine frontage, estate scale, the city's signature streets — and a $1,045,000 median is your market.

Choose Westmount if you want the same heritage feel and 124 Street life at a $616,500 median, with faster turnover and a real condo option below $200,000. On a per-square-foot basis you pay about $84 less than Glenora for every foot.

How these numbers were worked out

Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026, with the prior-year window November 9, 2024 – November 8, 2025 for the change figures. Counts include single-family and condo property classes only. Medians are true medians of the actual sold records. Any split with fewer than 10 sales shows its count only (the thin rule). Price per square foot is Paragon's sold-price-per-square-foot field (sold price ÷ total floor area as recorded in the MLS®). Sold vs asking divides the sold price by the final list price. Full methodology: Edmonton Housing Data Centre.
