Homes Near The King's University

The King's University — a small Christian liberal-arts university on 50 Street in Edmonton's east end — anchors a quiet corner that buyers find through the school and stay for the neighbourhoods: Ottewell, Capilano, Kenilworth and Avonmore. These are mature, leafy, family-first districts of 1950s and 60s homes on big lots, with the Gold Bar and Capilano river valley parks at the door and community league rinks on every few blocks.

King's students and staff are part of this market — a small campus means a personal, walkable student life — but the bigger crowds are east-end families who grew up here and buy back in, and Sherwood Park commuters who want Edmonton prices with a 10-minute run across the river on Wayne Gretzky Drive. If your search words are "quiet, treed, established, east side," this is your page.

The sold figures

Window for every figure: November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026. Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, counted by neighbourhood — Capilano, Ottewell, Kenilworth and Avonmore.

Single-family homes dominate and move quickly: 210 sold at a median sold price of $484,800 in a median of just 18 days — the fastest pace in this batch of east-side markets — with individual sales from $250,000 to $1,357,500. The low end is renovation-ready bungalows; the top is ravine-edge and fully rebuilt homes in Capilano. Eighteen days means buyers decide fast here, and sellers with a well-kept home are rewarded for it.

Condos are a thin slice: only 10 sold, at a median sold price of $267,500 in a median 37.5 days. That smaller sample is itself the information — this is a house neighbourhood market, and the condos that do trade serve downsizers and first-time buyers who specifically want the east end's mature streets.

Community highlights

• The King's University — a small, close-knit Christian liberal-arts campus on 50 Street, woven into Ottewell's streets.
• Gold Bar Park and Capilano Park — river valley trails, picnic sites and cross-country skiing at the neighbourhoods' north edge.
• Capilano Mall — the east end's everyday shopping anchor, at Ottewell's northeast corner.
• Hardisty Leisure Centre — pool and programs in the Capilano area.
• Community league culture — Ottewell, Kenilworth, Avonmore and Capilano leagues run the rinks, halls and playgrounds that make these streets feel like small towns.
• A 10-minute run to Sherwood Park and a straight shot downtown along 98 Avenue and Wayne Gretzky Drive.

Ottewell & Capilano area real estate

The housing character is post-war Edmonton done right: bungalows, bi-levels and split-levels from the 1950s and 60s on wide, treed lots, many renovated to modern standard, plus selective infill where the oldest homes come down. Capilano adds ravine-edge prestige along the valley; Kenilworth and Avonmore add quiet interior streets at a gentler price. Who buys: families first — this is a schools-and-rinks market — plus King's staff and students' parents, east-side move-up buyers, and Sherwood Park households trading the commute for Edmonton taxes and prices. Resale value is underwritten by pace (a median 18 days for houses) and by lot value: big mature lots near the valley do not get cheaper. Rental demand from the university is modest but steady, best served by legal-suite homes near 50 Street.

About living near The King's University

Daily life here is deliberately unhurried. Capilano Mall and the 50 Street shops cover groceries and services; the library's Capilano branch sits by the mall; weekends default to the river valley — Gold Bar Park picnics, Fulton Ravine trail rides, winter skiing under the lights. Community leagues are the social infrastructure: pancake breakfasts, rink shacks, soccer registration. Downtown is close enough for work and events, Sherwood Park is close enough for its recreation centres and shopping, and the streets themselves stay quiet — that balance is exactly what residents pay to keep.

Getting around

This is a driver's district with good roads: 98 Avenue and Wayne Gretzky Drive put downtown about 15 minutes west, the Sherwood Park Freeway (Wye Road) puts Sherwood Park about 10 minutes east, and 50 Street and 75 Street run south to the Whitemud and the Henday. Buses connect the neighbourhoods to the Capilano Transit Centre and downtown. Cyclists ride the Fulton Ravine and river valley trail system straight toward downtown — one of the prettiest commutes in the city in season.
