Homes Near Saville Community Sports Centre

The Saville Community Sports Centre is the biggest room in Edmonton sport: 350,000 square feet at 11610 65 Avenue on the University of Alberta's South Campus, next to the South Campus LRT station — 12 hardwood gymnasiums in Canada's largest hardwood installation, championship tennis and curling, and Foote Field outside. Officially opened on September 17, 2011, it serves everyone from Olympic-level athletes to Saturday league families. The neighbourhoods at its door are Belgravia and McKernan to the north and Lendrum Place to the south — three of the University district's most loved residential pockets.

This is a search people make on purpose. The buyers are sport families who will live at the Saville for a decade of practices and tournaments, University staff and students settling near South Campus, and downsizers who want an established, LRT-served neighbourhood south of the river. The housing delivers established quality over volume: 110 sales across the three neighbourhoods in the past year, at medians that reflect how rarely these streets let go.

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 Belgravia, McKernan and Lendrum Place. 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 are the market here. Belgravia's 35 single-family sales median $865,000 at a median of 22 days on market. McKernan's 43 sales median $677,000 at 25 days — the deepest single-family count of the three neighbourhoods. Lendrum Place recorded 14 sales, every one single-family, at a median of $532,500 and a median of just 14 days on market — the fastest figure on this page and one of the fastest in the city, from one of its smallest neighbourhoods.

Condos are a Belgravia story: 15 sold at a median sold price of $380,000 and a median of 34 days on market — townhouse and low-rise stock that borrows the University district's prestige at a lower entry point. McKernan recorded 3 condo sales and Lendrum Place none, too few to publish medians for. Individual sales across the three neighbourhoods ran from $187,000 to $1,831,000.

Community highlights

• Foote Field and the South Campus grounds — track, football and green space beside the centre.
• South Campus LRT station is at the centre's door — downtown and the University's North Campus are one ride.
• Built in the tradition of the Edmonton Grads, the centre is the home of basketball in Edmonton — leagues and tournaments at every level.

• Lendrum Place is the quiet south option — a small, established neighbourhood that sells in a median of 14 days.

Belgravia, McKernan & Lendrum Place real estate

Each neighbourhood has a published market dashboard on this site. Belgravia is the professorial pocket wrapped around the University's south edge — prestige streets, ravine access and the highest medians of the three. McKernan is its neighbour to the east: a deep, steady market of character homes and infill between the University and Whyte Avenue's west end. Lendrum Place sits south of South Campus — smaller, quieter, and all single-family, with families waiting on its rare listings.

Who buys here? Sport families first — a household with two kids in basketball, volleyball or tennis can save hundreds of hours a year living five minutes from the Saville. University households buy the South Campus growth story; downsizers buy the LRT and the flat, established streets. Resale value follows the institutions: the University of Alberta is expanding on South Campus, not shrinking, and these three neighbourhoods are its residential front door.

About living near Saville Centre

Day to day, life here runs on practices and pathways. Evenings are at the Saville or on the ravine trails that start at Belgravia's west edge; weekends are tournaments, the University farm's green space on South Campus, and Whyte Avenue a short ride east. Groceries and services sit on 109 Street and in McKernan's corners, community leagues are strong in all three neighbourhoods, and the LRT makes downtown a commute you do not have to think about. It is family Edmonton with a world-class gym in the middle of it.

Parks, recreation & community services

Beyond the Saville itself, the recreation package stacks up: Foote Field's track and fields, the University farm and green space across South Campus, Belgravia's ravine-edge trails into the river valley network, and the William Hawrelak Park grounds a short ride north. Lendrum and Belgravia community leagues run halls, rinks and programs, and the centre's own leagues and drop-in schedule cover everything the neighbourhoods do not.

For kids nearby:

• Belgravia's ravine trails and playground
• Lendrum Park and the Lendrum community league rink and programs

Getting around

South Campus LRT station is the headline: it sits at the Saville's door and puts the University's North Campus, downtown and the northeast on one line, with McKernan/Belgravia station serving the north end of the neighbourhoods. Drivers get 114 Street and 122 Street north-south and Whitemud Drive across the south; the airport run down Calgary Trail is one of the shortest in the city. Cyclists ride the 114 Street and valley trail connections. For a south-side neighbourhood, the transit math here is unusually good.

Staying near Saville Centre

• Campus Tower Suite Hotel — upscale all-suite hotel on the University of Alberta campus, a short LRT ride or drive from the Saville.
• Varscona Hotel on Whyte — boutique, on Whyte Avenue east of the neighbourhoods, an easy base for viewings.

Car rental: south-side and airport agencies are the practical pickups — the Saville is about 25 minutes from Edmonton International Airport.
