Griesbach vs Beaumaris: The North Side's Planned Village vs Its Lake Original

Griesbach and Beaumaris are the north side's two character plays — the award-winning planned village on the old army base, and the original lake community beside it. Griesbach's single-family median is $593,000 on 115 sales; Beaumaris's is $501,000 on just 60 sales — but Beaumaris houses sell at 99.4% of asking in a median of 15 days, the tightest market on this page. All figures: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026.

The head-to-head

Two different products: the master-planned village vs the mature lake streets

Griesbach sells design. 74 detached sales at $322 per square foot — newer, architecturally controlled homes around its lakes and village centre, plus 41 condo sales at a $359,000 median (townhome-style product). It is the north side's premium new-community product, priced like it.

Beaumaris sells maturity. 26 detached sales on big, treed lake-district lots at $268 per square foot — the cheapest per-foot ground in this comparison — plus 34 condo sales at a $243,500 median. The stock is older; the lots and the lake access are what you are buying.

Direction and pace: Griesbach firmed, Beaumaris flat and fast

Griesbach's single-family median rose 5.0% year over year ($565,000 to $593,000). Beaumaris's was dead flat ($501,000 both years) — on 26 sales, read the level, not the trend.

Pace is the Beaumaris story: 15 median days on market and 99.4% of asking — when a good Beaumaris house lists, it goes, at full price. Griesbach houses took 37 days at 98.5% of asking; more supply, more deliberation.

Which one fits you

Choose Griesbach if you want newer, design-controlled homes and a village centre — the north side's premium package at a $593,000 detached median.

Choose Beaumaris if you want the lake district's mature lots and lower per-foot cost — a $501,000 median — and you can move at full-ask speed when the right one lists.

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.
