Homes in the Strathcona 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 — 401 single-family homes sold in the neighbourhoods that make up the Strathcona High School catchment, at a median sold price of $600,000 and a median of just 20 days on market. Including condos, there were 582 sales in total. Strathcona — "Scona" — is the designated senior high school for the mature neighbourhoods around Old Strathcona and the University of Alberta: Garneau, McKernan, Belgravia, Windsor Park and their neighbours. Detached homes here sold faster than in any other senior-high catchment in this series.

That speed is the story. This is a catchment of character homes, infill and university-adjacent streets where listings are scarce relative to demand — and where the price spread between the median street and Windsor Park's $1,000,000-plus sales is the widest in the series.

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 $295,000 and $3,030,000. Half (50%) sold under $600,000 and 88% under $1,000,000 — but the top of the market is real: Windsor Park's 27 detached sales carried a median of $1,143,800, and Belgravia and McKernan both medians well above the catchment figure. A median of 20 days on market says well-priced homes here do not wait.

Condos totalled 181 sales at a median of $260,000 — much of it Garneau's student-and-professional stock (80 of Garneau's 107 sales were condos) — but took a median of 42 days, the slowest condo pace in the series. The detached and condo markets in this catchment move at completely different speeds.

What the Strathcona catchment covers

Strathcona High School is an Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) senior high school for Grades 10 to 12, at 10450 72 Avenue in Queen Alexandra, beside Old Strathcona. For the 2026–27 school year, EPSB designates these neighbourhoods to Strathcona: Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia, Garneau, Grandview Heights, Hazeldean, King Edward Park, Lansdowne, Lendrum Place, McKernan, Parkallen, Queen Alexandra, Rossdale and Windsor Park (EPSB names several of these at a finer grain — Garneau East and West, Queen Alexandra NE, SE and W — and all parts designate Strathcona). Strathcona is also the overflow designated school for Lillian Osborne — students not accepted through Osborne's lottery are guaranteed a place here. Overflow status is not catchment, and no Terwillegar or Windermere sales are counted on this page for it.

Two things buyers get wrong about this catchment:

1. Assuming the school's own neighbourhood names the catchment. EPSB's current data carries no neighbourhood called "Strathcona" or "Ritchie" — those streets fall inside the named areas above (chiefly Queen Alexandra). A listing that says "Strathcona catchment" is making a claim this page's method can't verify from a neighbourhood name — check the address.
2. Confusing proximity with designation at the university edge. Garneau, McKernan and Belgravia all designate Strathcona — but so do quieter streets in Allendale, Parkallen and Lendrum Place that buyers overlook, at lower medians. The catchment is wider, and in places cheaper, than its reputation.

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. Exclusions to know about: the ravine communities of Mill Creek Ravine North and South (1 sale between them in the window) are not counted — EPSB's "Mill Creek" area is the ravine itself; EPSB also designates a small area it calls Mount Pleasant (East/West) to Strathcona, but the sold data has no community of that name for Edmonton, so any such sales are recorded under neighbouring names and cannot be separated honestly; and Glenridding Ravine's 63 sales are not counted here, because EPSB's data appears to contain an error for that community's senior high school (see the series production notes). 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 Strathcona catchment

If you are buying for this school: bring a detached-home budget built on the $600,000 median and a fast decision process — 20 days median means the good listings are gone in two to three weeks. If that budget is a stretch, look at the catchment's own edges first: Allendale, Parkallen, Hazeldean and King Edward Park all designate Strathcona at lower medians than the university-adjacent core, and the condo median ($260,000) is the cheapest way to hold a catchment address.

If you are selling in this catchment: scarcity is on your side — this is the fastest-selling senior-high catchment in the series for detached homes. The warning is in the condo column: at a 42-day median, condos here reward realistic opening prices, not patience.

Either way, verify the address first. Designation is by exact address — confirm yours in EPSB's Find a School tool before you buy or list on the strength of this school.

Frequently asked questions

Which neighbourhoods are in the Strathcona High School catchment?
For 2026–27, EPSB designates Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia, Garneau, Grandview Heights, Hazeldean, King Edward Park, Lansdowne, Lendrum Place, McKernan, Parkallen, Queen Alexandra, Rossdale and Windsor Park to Strathcona for Grades 10–12. Confirm any specific address in EPSB's Find a School tool.

What did a single-family home in the Strathcona catchment sell for recently?
In the 12 months from November 9, 2025 to November 8, 2026, 401 single-family homes sold in the catchment neighbourhoods at a median sold price of $600,000, with a median of 20 days on market. Sales ranged from $295,000 to $3,030,000.

Is Strathcona the same as the Lillian Osborne overflow school?
Yes — students who are not accepted through Lillian Osborne's lottery are guaranteed a place at Strathcona. That overflow relationship does not make Terwillegar or Windermere part of Strathcona's catchment, and none of their sales are counted on this page.

Why is there no "Strathcona neighbourhood" in the list?
EPSB's current designation data does not carry a neighbourhood of that name — the area's streets fall inside its Queen Alexandra and neighbouring named areas, which are counted here. Designation is settled by exact address in the Find a School tool.
