Homes Near NorQuest College

NorQuest College is the downtown campus Edmonton runs on: the Edmonton region's largest community college, at 10215 108 Street, training the health-care aides, nurses, business graduates and newcomers who staff the city. Founded in 1965, its Civic Employees Legacy Tower and Singhmar Centre for Learning anchor the west end of the core. Living near it is a three-neighbourhood choice — Downtown's condo towers to the east, Wîhkwêntôwin's character streets to the west, and Queen Mary Park, the quiet residential district immediately north of campus where the students and staff actually rent and buy.

This is a search people make on purpose. The buyers are NorQuest staff and health-region employees who want a walk-to-work life, parents buying a condo for a student instead of paying dorm or rental prices, and investors who understand that a college of this size is a permanent rental engine. The housing delivers choice at every rung: 685 sales in the past year across the three neighbourhoods, from Queen Mary Park houses to downtown towers.

The sold figures

Window for every figure: November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026. Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, counted by neighbourhood. The neighbourhoods counted for this page are Downtown, Wîhkwêntôwin and Queen Mary Park. Medians are shown per neighbourhood — a median cannot be averaged across neighbourhoods, so every row below is that neighbourhood's own verified figure, with the sales count printed beside it to keep the numbers honest.

Single-family homes live in Queen Mary Park: 18 sold at a median sold price of $403,500 and a median of 33 days on market — modest post-war houses and infill on quiet streets directly north of campus. Downtown recorded no single-family sales in the window and Wîhkwêntôwin recorded 2, too few to publish a median for. For a house near NorQuest, Queen Mary Park is the whole conversation — and at a $403,500 median it is one of the most affordable detached pockets this close to the core.

Condos do the volume: 249 sold Downtown at a median sold price of $205,000 and a median of 44 days on market, 343 in Wîhkwêntôwin at a median of $176,000 and a median of 46 days, and 73 in Queen Mary Park at a median of $152,000 and a median of 40 days — the lowest condo median on this page, in the neighbourhood closest to campus. Individual sales across the three neighbourhoods ran from $17,000 to $2,350,000.

Downtown, Wîhkwêntôwin & Queen Mary Park real estate

Each neighbourhood has a published market dashboard on this site. Queen Mary Park is the residential surprise of the downtown edge: a full neighbourhood of houses, duplexes and low-rise condos between 109 Street and 119 Street that most buyers overlook. Downtown is the condo tower market east of campus. Wîhkwêntôwin mixes Jasper Avenue condos with character houses — the premium walkable option of the three.

Who buys here? Staff and faculty settling near work, families buying a student condo they can later sell into the same demand, and landlords — NorQuest's student body, MacEwan's next door and the downtown workforce stack three rental pools on top of each other. Resale value follows enrolment and employment: colleges and hospitals do not relocate, and the neighbourhoods around them inherit that permanence.

About living near NorQuest College

Day to day, this is the practical downtown life. The campus sets the rhythm — classes, practicums, the comings and goings of thousands of students — while Queen Mary Park keeps the evenings quiet and residential. Groceries sit on 109 Street and in Wîhkwêntôwin, the 124 Street shops and cafés cover weekends, and the river valley is a short ride down Groat Road or through the Legislature grounds. It is the core with the volume turned down one notch.
