Homes in the Harry Ainlay High School Catchment: What Sold, and for How Much

In the most recent 12 months in the sold data — November 9, 2025 to November 8, 2026 — 526 single-family homes sold in the neighbourhoods that make up the Harry Ainlay High School catchment, at a median sold price of $545,500 and a median of 29 days on market. Including condos, there were 788 sales in total. Harry Ainlay is one of Edmonton's best-known senior high schools, and its catchment is a study in contrasts: mature, tree-lined south-central streets like Greenfield and Westbrook Estates at one end, and Keswick — a newer community on the city's southwest edge that supplied a third of this catchment's sales — at the other.

A warning before the numbers: older "communities served" lists for Harry Ainlay circulate widely online, and they are out of date. They include neighbourhoods that have belonged to a different school's catchment since Dr. Anne Anderson opened in 2021. The list on this page comes from Edmonton Public Schools' current designation data — skip to "How these numbers were worked out" for exactly what changed.

The sold figures

Window for every figure in this table: November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026. Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, counted by neighbourhood — see "How these numbers were worked out" below.

Single-family homes sold for between $215,000 and $2,560,000. Two-thirds (66%) sold under $600,000. The mix explains the spread: Keswick alone contributed 248 of the 526 detached sales (newer construction on the southwest edge), while the mature core — Twin Brooks, Greenfield, Duggan, Steinhauer, Sweet Grass — traded fewer, older homes, and Westbrook Estates' 11 sales sit at the catchment's top end.

Condos totalled 262 sales at a median of $230,000, with 75% under $300,000 — an unusually attainable condo segment for a brand-name catchment, concentrated in Ermineskin, Sweet Grass, Skyrattler and Blue Quill. Condos took a median of 34 days.

What the Harry Ainlay catchment covers

Harry Ainlay High School is an Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) senior high school for Grades 10 to 12 in south-central Edmonton. For the 2026–27 school year, EPSB designates these neighbourhoods to Harry Ainlay: Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates, Duggan, Ermineskin, Greenfield, Keheewin, Keswick, Malmo Plains, Rideau Park, Skyrattler, Steinhauer, Sweet Grass, Twin Brooks and Westbrook Estates (EPSB splits Malmo Plains into East and West and names Westbrook Estates simply "Westbrook" — both parts designate Ainlay). Two future neighbourhoods in EPSB's data, McKee and Richard Secord, also designate Ainlay but have no homes or sales yet.

Two things buyers get wrong about this catchment:

1. Trusting the old lists. The "communities served" lists copied around the internet include Allard, Chappelle, Blackburne, MacEwan, Richford and Rutherford — all designated to Dr. Anne Anderson since 2021 — and Aspen Gardens and Empire Park, which do not appear in EPSB's current designation data at all. A home bought for "the Ainlay catchment" off an old list may not designate Ainlay at all.
2. Assuming the catchment is one market. Keswick's new-build detached homes and Greenfield's 1960s bungalows are both "in the Ainlay catchment" and have almost nothing else in common — price, competition and sale timelines all differ. Read the neighbourhood, not just the school.

How these numbers were worked out — please read this before using them

School catchment boundaries do not line up exactly with Edmonton neighbourhood boundaries. These figures are based on the neighbourhoods listed on this page, which are the neighbourhoods wholly inside this school's attendance area as published by Edmonton Public Schools for the 2026–27 school year (EPSB's neighbourhood designation data, read November 9, 2026). Sales in neighbourhoods that are only partly inside the catchment are excluded — so these figures are a community-based approximation of the catchment, not an exact count of sales inside the catchment boundary. Exclusions to know about: Aspen Gardens (38 sales in the window), Empire Park (23) and Royal Gardens (0) appear on widely copied older lists for this school but do not appear in EPSB's current designation data, so their sales are not counted here rather than guessed into another school's figures. And the west-end community of Secord (183 sales) is not counted — it shares only a name fragment with EPSB's future "Richard Secord" neighbourhood, which has no homes yet. Catchments also change: confirm your designated school for a specific address with the board's Find a School tool before you buy.

Buying or selling in the Harry Ainlay catchment

If you are buying for this school: verify first, from EPSB's current data — not from a listing description or an old list. Then decide which Ainlay you are buying: the mature core (bungalows and character homes, fewer sales, longer holds) or the Keswick edge (new builds, deep selection — 263 sales there in the window across all types). The condo figures deserve a look too: a $230,000 median is a low-cost way to hold an address in this catchment while kids are young.

If you are selling in this catchment: the Ainlay name carries weight with south-side families and the catchment turned over 788 sales in a year — a deep buyer pool. In the mature neighbourhoods, that pool is buying renovated-or-honest condition at the $545,500 detached median; in Keswick, you are competing with builders, and the comparison is against new.

Either way, verify the address first. Designation is by exact address, and this catchment's published lists are the most out-of-date in the city — confirm yours in EPSB's Find a School tool before you buy or list on the strength of this school.

Is Aspen Gardens in the Harry Ainlay catchment?
It appears on older lists, but Aspen Gardens does not appear in Edmonton Public Schools' current (2026–27) designation data, so this page does not count it. Check any specific address in EPSB's Find a School tool — that is the only version of the answer that counts.

Why is Keswick in a south-central school's catchment?
EPSB's current data designates Keswick to Harry Ainlay for senior high (its elementary and junior high school is Joey Moss). Split designations like this are exactly why every figure on this page is built from the board's current data, not from geography or old lists.
