The areas around Edmonton that feature acreages are prized for their rural appeal, spacious properties, and serene environment, situated comfortably outside the bustling city life yet within reachable distance of urban amenities. These areas include but are not limited to Strathcona County, Sturgeon County, Parkland County, and Leduc County. These regions have been increasingly developed over the years to accommodate those looking for more space and a connection with nature, yet the history of each area varies, with some parts being established farming communities and others newer developments designed for residential expansion.
