Homes in the Lillian Osborne High School Catchment: What Sold, and for How Much

In the most recent 12 months in the sold data — November 9, 2025 to November 8, 2026 — 575 single-family homes sold in the neighbourhoods that make up the Lillian Osborne High School catchment, at a median sold price of $578,000 and a median of 25 days on market. Including condos, there were 1,009 sales in total. Lillian Osborne is the designated Edmonton Public senior high school for Terwillegar and Windermere — two of the most family-driven areas in the city — and it is a lottery school: demand for seats mirrors demand for the homes that come with them.

This is one of the largest catchments in Edmonton, and it is really two markets sharing one school. Detached homes in established Terwillegar neighbourhoods like Hodgson and Leger sell in a different range than the condos and townhomes of MacTaggart and South Terwillegar — the split figures below are the honest way to read it.

The sold figures

Window for every figure in this table: November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026. Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, counted by neighbourhood — see "How these numbers were worked out" below.

Single-family homes sold for between $320,000 and $3,900,000 in the window. A third of the 575 (33%) sold under $500,000 — those are concentrated in the catchment's newer and denser pockets — while 89% sold under $1,000,000. The median home took 25 days to sell.

Condos are a real market in this catchment, not a footnote: 434 sales at a median of $260,000, with 57% under $300,000. MacTaggart (46 of its 60 sales were condos) and South Terwillegar (111 of 201) carry most of that volume. Condos took longer — a median of 36 days.

What the Lillian Osborne catchment covers

Lillian Osborne High School is an Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) senior high school for Grades 10 to 12, at 2019 Leger Road NW in Terwillegar. For the 2026–27 school year, EPSB designates these neighbourhoods to Lillian Osborne: Ambleside, Glenridding Heights, Haddow, Hodgson, Leger, MacTaggart, Magrath Heights, South Terwillegar, Terwillegar Towne and Windermere (EPSB names the last three areas Windermere Estates North, Southeast and Southwest, and South Terwillegar as Terwillegar South East and West — the neighbourhood names above are the ones the sold data uses).

Two things buyers get wrong about this catchment:

1. A seat is not guaranteed. Lillian Osborne is a Level 3 school and runs a lottery for new resident students when applications exceed space; students not accepted are guaranteed a place at the overflow designated school, Strathcona High School. Living in the catchment makes Osborne your designated school — capacity rules still decide the seat. Confirm the current position with the school before you condition a purchase on it.
2. "Terwillegar" on a listing is not the whole story. This catchment covers two distinct areas — Terwillegar on the east side of Terwillegar Drive and the Windermere/Ambleside/Glenridding area west of it. Prices, housing stock and days on market differ across that line, which is why this page splits its figures by property type and names every neighbourhood counted.

How these numbers were worked out — please read this before using them

School catchment boundaries do not line up exactly with Edmonton neighbourhood boundaries. These figures are based on the neighbourhoods listed on this page, which are the neighbourhoods wholly inside this school's attendance area as published by Edmonton Public Schools for the 2026–27 school year (EPSB's own neighbourhood designation data, read November 9, 2026). Sales in neighbourhoods that are only partly inside the catchment are excluded — so these figures are a community-based approximation of the catchment, not an exact count of sales inside the catchment boundary. One exclusion to know about: EPSB's designation data lists Glenridding Ravine's senior high school as a different school in a way that appears to be a data error (see the series production notes); its 63 sales in the window are not counted here pending confirmation from EPSB. Catchments also change: confirm your designated school for a specific address with the board's Find a School tool before you buy.

Buying or selling in the Lillian Osborne catchment

If you are buying for this school: plan around the split, not the blended number. A detached home at the $578,000 median is realistic planning; a condo or townhome entry in MacTaggart or South Terwillegar starts far lower (condo median $260,000). Because Osborne is a lottery school, do the school check first and the house hunt second — confirm your address designates Osborne and understand the lottery position before you fall for a kitchen.

If you are selling in this catchment: the school is a genuine demand driver and 1,009 sales in a year says the market underneath it is deep and liquid. Single-family homes sold in a median of 25 days — but that median hides the usual spread, and in family-driven areas the homes that present well to relocating and move-up buyers in spring conditions take the best of it.

Either way, verify the address first. Designation is by exact address, not by neighbourhood nickname — confirm yours in EPSB's Find a School tool before you buy or list on the strength of this school.

Does living in the catchment guarantee a place at Lillian Osborne?
No. Osborne is a Level 3 lottery school. Catchment status makes it your designated school, but when applications exceed space, a lottery decides, and students not accepted are guaranteed a place at Strathcona High School, the overflow designated school.

Why is Glenridding Ravine not counted?
EPSB's published designation data appears to contain an error for that community's senior high school. Rather than publish a claim that looks wrong, its sales are excluded and the discrepancy is being confirmed with EPSB — the full note is in "How these numbers were worked out" above.
