Keswick vs Ambleside: Two Southwest Neighbours, Two Different Markets

Keswick and Ambleside sit side by side in the southwest, share the Windermere orbit, and still behave like different markets. Keswick is the volume play — 264 sales, nearly all detached, at a $534,900 median. Ambleside is smaller and split: 143 sales, detached at a $592,500 median plus a genuine condo layer (69 sales at $222,000). Keswick cooled this year; Ambleside sped up. All figures: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026.

The head-to-head

Two different products: the pure house suburb vs the split market

Keswick sells houses. 249 of its 264 sales were single-family; its blended median ($530,363) and house median ($534,900) are nearly the same number. Its top sale was $1,450,000 — a move-up suburb with a ceiling, not an estate market. The 15 condo sales at a $355,000 median are townhome-style product, not an apartment layer.

Ambleside sells choice. Its detached stock (74 sales) is newer and pricier per home than Keswick's, but the real difference is the other half of the market: 69 condo sales at a $222,000 median around The Currents give first-time buyers and downsizers a way into the southwest that Keswick does not offer.

Direction and pace: Keswick softened, Ambleside firmed and hurried

Keswick's single-family median fell 8.0% year over year ($581,450 to $534,900) and its houses took a median of 44 days to sell — the slower of the pair by 18 days. Sellers there are meeting the market; buyers have room and time.

Ambleside moved the other way: its detached median rose 3.0% ($575,000 to $592,500) and houses sold in a median of 26 days. Both areas sold at about 98% of asking, so Keswick's softness lives in list prices and waiting time, not in discounting.

Which one fits you

Choose Keswick if you want the most detached house for the money in the southwest — a $534,900 median in a market that has cooled enough to negotiate in — and you do not need a condo or townhome layer. As a seller, price to the new median and expect the 44-day timeline.

Choose Ambleside if you want the Currents at your feet and options at two levels — condos from a $222,000 median or detached at $592,500 — in the faster-moving of the two markets.

How these numbers were worked out

Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026, with the prior-year window November 9, 2024 – November 8, 2025 for the change figures. Counts include single-family and condo property classes only. Medians are true medians of the actual sold records. Any split with fewer than 10 sales shows its count only (the thin rule). Price per square foot is Paragon's sold-price-per-square-foot field (sold price ÷ total floor area as recorded in the MLS®). Sold vs asking divides the sold price by the final list price. Full methodology: Edmonton Housing Data Centre.
