Donsdale, a picturesque neighborhood located in the west end of Edmonton, offers an appealing blend of natural beauty and suburban comfort. Established as a residential area in the early 2000s, Donsdale is named after Frank Doncaster, who owned a large portion of the land in the area during the early 20th century. It's a relatively new neighborhood compared to others in Edmonton, characterized by its modern homes and manicured landscapes. As of the latest census, Donsdale is home to about 1,200 residents living in approximately 400 homes, which reflects its exclusive and close-knit community vibe.
