Laurel and Charlesworth are southeast neighbours with nearly identical price tags — and different ways in. Laurel's single-family median is $501,000; Charlesworth's is $482,500, and their blended medians are within $1,000 of each other ($465,000 vs $464,000). The real difference is the condo layer: Charlesworth's median condo is $194,500; Laurel's is $326,500. All figures: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026.

The head-to-head

Two different products: Laurel's houses vs Charlesworth's ladder

Laurel sells houses. 144 of its 161 sales were detached — one of the most house-heavy splits in the southeast — from $278,600 to $920,000. Its 17 condo sales at a $326,500 median are townhome-style product at house-adjacent prices.

Charlesworth sells the ladder. 89 detached sales plus 32 condo sales at a $194,500 median — a genuine entry rung under $200,000 in a newer community built around ponds and a sustainability theme. You can start in Charlesworth and move up inside it.

Direction and pace: Laurel firmer, both steady

Laurel's single-family median rose 3.3% year over year ($485,000 to $501,000); Charlesworth's rose 0.5% ($480,000 to $482,500). Two steady markets — no timing story in either.

Pace is matched too (36.5 vs 34 median days). One caution: Laurel houses sold at 97.5% of asking — the softest ratio in this pair — so Laurel sellers price with a negotiation cushion built in.

Which one fits you

Choose Laurel if a detached house is the goal and the budget is right at $500,000 — the deeper house market of the two, at a $501,000 median.

Choose Charlesworth if you want the ladder — condos under $200,000 to start, detached at $482,500 when you are ready — in a newer pond-side community.

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.
