Homes in the Riverbend 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 — 367 single-family homes sold in the neighbourhoods that make up the Riverbend School catchment, at a median sold price of $715,000 and a median of just 18 days on market. Including condos, there were 583 sales in total. Riverbend is the designated Edmonton Public junior high school (Grades 7–9) not just for the Riverbend area itself, but for most of Terwillegar and all of Windermere — a far bigger catchment than the school's name suggests, and the fastest-selling catchment in this series.

That breadth surprises people. Families house-hunting in Windermere often don't realise their junior high is across the river bend in Riverbend — and families in Terwillegar's Haddow, Hodgson and Leger assume a Terwillegar school that, for junior high, isn't theirs. Both are wrong in the same direction, and this page exists to settle it with the board's own data.

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. This is the premium catchment in the series: only 27% of detached sales came in under $600,000, and Henderson Estates, Ogilvie Ridge and Rhatigan Ridge all carry neighbourhood medians above the catchment figure. An 18-day median says demand is not the problem for sellers here.

Condos totalled 216 sales at a median of $286,220, with just over half (53%) under $300,000 — concentrated in the Terwillegar and Windermere pockets of the catchment, where condo stock is newer.

What the Riverbend catchment covers

Riverbend School is an Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) junior high school for Grades 7 to 9, at 14820 53 Avenue NW. For the 2026–27 school year, EPSB designates these neighbourhoods to Riverbend: Brander Gardens, Brookside, Bulyea Heights, Carter Crest, Falconer Heights, Haddow, Henderson Estates, Hodgson, Leger, Ogilvie Ridge, Ramsay Heights, Rhatigan Ridge and Windermere (EPSB adds local qualifiers to several names — Bulyea Heights (Brookview), Carter Crest (Whitemud Hills), Henderson Estates (River Ridge), Ogilvie Ridge (Whitemud Creek) — and splits Windermere into Estates North, Southeast and Southwest; all designate Riverbend).

Two things buyers get wrong about this catchment:

1. Assuming the neighbourhood name matches the school's map. Terwillegar Towne and South Terwillegar are not in Riverbend's catchment — their junior high designations sit with Esther Starkman and Nellie Carlson respectively — while Haddow, Hodgson and Leger, also Terwillegar neighbourhoods, are Riverbend's. Three streets can share a "Terwillegar" listing label and designate three different junior highs.
2. Assuming a seat. Riverbend is a Level 3 school: for 2026–27 it reported full in planned classes from Grade 7 to 9 in the regular program, with newly-moved resident students directed to the overflow designated school, Avalon School, and a lottery process when applications exceed space. Designation is not a guaranteed desk.

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 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 to Riverbend for junior high, but the same data row appears to contain an error for that community (see the series production notes), so 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 Riverbend catchment

If you are buying for this school: budget at the premium end — a $715,000 detached median and an 18-day selling pace make this the most competitive catchment in the series. The value play inside it is the condo and townhome stock in the Terwillegar/Windermere pockets (median $286,220), which carries the same designation at less than half the detached price. And because the school is Level 3 with an overflow process, confirm the seat position for your exact address before you write an offer with a school condition.

If you are selling in this catchment: demand depth is your friend — 583 sales in a year, detached homes moving in a median of 18 days. In the established Riverbend streets, buyers are paying for the ravine-and-river setting as much as the school; price to the in-catchment comparables on this page, not to citywide medians, or you'll leave the premium on the table.

Either way, verify the address first. In Terwillegar especially, designation changes street by street — confirm yours in EPSB's Find a School tool before you buy or list on the strength of this school.
