Homes Near Sherwood Park

Sherwood Park runs its own home search, and everyone in Edmonton real estate knows why. This hamlet of some 75,000 people in Strathcona County, minutes east of the city, offers Edmonton jobs with a smaller-community feel: top-rated schools, Millennium Place's recreation campus, Broadmoor Lake at the centre of town, and streets where the community league, the hockey rink and the school are all part of the same week. It is also the gateway to Elk Island National Park, 20 minutes further east — bison herds, dark skies and hiking that Sherwood Park families treat as their backyard.

The housing is Edmonton's suburban best, in the broadest sense: 1970s and 80s family homes in the mature core, executive builds in Lakeland Ridge, Heritage Hills and the newer districts, townhouses and condos for first-time buyers and downsizers, and acreages across Strathcona County for buyers who want land with a city commute. Families relocating for work in Edmonton or the Industrial Heartland, and Edmonton families trading up for schools and space, drive a market that — as the figures below show — moves faster than the city itself.

The sold figures

Window for every figure: November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026. Area label: Sherwood Park and Strathcona County. Source: Paragon MLS® area search.

Single-family homes: 1,093 sales at a median sold price of $542,500, in a median of just 16 days — the fastest pace in this series. Sherwood Park detached homes are a deep, competitive market: well-priced family homes in the mature core and the newer districts attract multiple interested buyers, with prices running from $300,000 to $2,315,000 across Sherwood Park and Strathcona County.

Condos, read separately: 321 condo sales at a median sold price of $320,000, in a median of 23 days. That is a healthy condo market by any Edmonton-area standard — townhouses and apartment condos here serve first-time buyers, downsizers who refuse to leave the Park, and investors renting to the east-side workforce.

Community highlights

• Millennium Place — wave pool, arenas, indoor track, fitness and youth spaces: the recreation campus every suburb wishes it had.
• Broadmoor Lake Park at the town centre — playgrounds, spray park, festival lawns and the Community Centre and library beside it.
• Two strong public high schools — Salisbury Composite and Bev Facey — plus Archbishop Jordan Catholic High School.
• Elk Island National Park 20 minutes east — bison, trails, stargazing and lake days as a standing weekend option.
• Festival Place — a real performing arts venue with family theatre and concerts through the year.
• A hamlet that functions like a small city: its own hospital (Strathcona Community Hospital), its own transit, and a full retail core along Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive.

Sherwood Park real estate

The housing character splits by era. The mature core — Sherwood Heights, Westboro, Glen Allan, Pine Street — offers 1960s-to-80s homes on big, treed lots, the renovation-and-location play. The 1990s and 2000s districts (Clarkdale, Lakeland Ridge, Summerwood) deliver the classic family two-storey. The newest growth (Heritage Hills, Aspen Trails, Cambrian Crossing and Salisbury Village) brings modern builds and new schools. Condos cluster near the centre and in the newer districts; acreages spread across Strathcona County in every direction.

Who buys? Families first — schools and Millennium Place are the magnets — plus Industrial Heartland professionals who want a short east-side commute, downsizers loyal to the community, and acreage buyers. Resale value is underwritten by scarcity: Sherwood Park has limited room to sprawl, and demand from Edmonton keeps pressing in. Rental value is strong and stable, tied to the energy and industrial workforce.

About living in Sherwood Park

People who move here tend to stay, and say so. The week runs on Millennium Place practices, Broadmoor Lake festivals, Festival Place shows and a library and Community Centre that anchor the middle of town. Streets are quiet, schools are close, and the trail system links neighbourhoods all year. Edmonton is 15–20 minutes west for the big-city extras; most residents find they need them less than they expected.

Parks, recreation & community services

Millennium Place is the headline, but the system behind it matters: the Glen Allan and Kinsmen recreation facilities, Broadmoor Lake Park, an extensive trail network, and Strathcona County Library in the Community Centre.
