Homes Near TELUS World of Science

The TELUS World of Science — IMAX theatre, hands-on galleries and the planetarium — sits in Coronation Park in Woodcroft, and it names a whole northwest-inner-city search: Woodcroft, Inglewood, Prince Charles and Sherbrooke. These are mature neighbourhoods of character bungalows and wartime homes on big lots, with infill arriving street by street, at prices that still reward buyers who look northwest instead of southwest. If you want an established, tree-lined street 10 minutes from downtown — and a science centre, a pool and sports fields as your local park — start here.

Families love the park package: the science centre, Peter Hemingway Pool and Coronation Park's sports fields in one green block, with Ross Sheppard High School right in Woodcroft. Investors love the math: NAIT is minutes east, downtown is a short run south, and the area's character homes rent to students, staff and young professionals year-round. First-time buyers love it most of all — this is one of the last inner-city pockets where a detached house is still a realistic first purchase.

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 Woodcroft, Inglewood, Prince Charles and Sherbrooke. (Coronation Park, the park the science centre sits in, lies inside the Woodcroft neighbourhood in the sold data and is counted there.)

Single-family homes carry this market: 117 sold in the year at a median sold price of $420,000 and a median of 28 days on market, with individual sales running from $189,000 to $2,160,000. That spread is the infill story in one line — original wartime homes and renovation projects at one end, new builds on mature lots at the other — and a $420,000 median for a detached house this close to downtown is why the northwest inner city keeps drawing first-time buyers and builders alike.

Condos are a smaller slice: 22 sold at a median sold price of $237,000 and a median of 30.5 days on market. The condo stock here is mostly low-rise buildings along the main corridors — a straightforward, affordable hold for owner-occupiers who want the location and for investors renting to the NAIT and downtown workforce.

Community highlights

• TELUS World of Science itself — exhibits, IMAX films and the star theatre, in Coronation Park.
• Peter Hemingway Swimming Pool, in the same Coronation Park block — the neighbourhood's year-round pool.
• Coronation Park's sports fields, playgrounds and open green space form one big recreation campus at the heart of Woodcroft.
• Edmonton Public Library — Woodcroft Branch, on 114 Avenue, anchors the corner of the park block.
• 124 Street's galleries, cafés and shops are minutes south of Inglewood — the inner city's favourite main street.
• Westmount Centre and Kingsway Mall cover the big errands, both within a short drive.

Woodcroft, Inglewood, Prince Charles & Sherbrooke real estate

The housing stock is post-war Edmonton at its most honest: stucco bungalows, 1½-storey wartime houses and modest two-storeys on lots far bigger than anything built today, under a mature tree canopy. Inglewood and Sherbrooke have seen a steady wave of infill — skinny homes, duplexes and garden suites — as buyers rediscover how close this is to everything. Woodcroft, wrapped around Coronation Park, stays quieter and more uniform; Prince Charles offers some of the best value per lot in the inner city.

Who buys here? First-time buyers who refuse the suburbs, young families trading up from a condo, builders and infill buyers working the lot math, and investors holding rentals near NAIT and the hospital corridor. Resale value rides the location: downtown, NAIT, Kingsway and the Royal Alexandra Hospital are all within a 10-minute orbit, and that orbit does not move. Rental demand is structural — students, instructors, nurses and downtown staff all shop these streets.

About living near TELUS World of Science

Day to day, this is inner-city living with a park for a backyard. Weekends start at the science centre or the pool, summer evenings end on Coronation Park's fields, and the community leagues — Woodcroft, Inglewood, Prince Charles and Sherbrooke all run active ones — keep halls, rinks and programs going year-round. Groceries and daily life run on 124 Street, Westmount and Kingsway; 124 Street itself is the local high street of independent shops and restaurants. It is a neighbourhood-first pocket of the city that happens to sit 10 minutes from the core.
