Boyle Street, one of the oldest parts of Edmonton, is a vibrant and eclectic neighborhood located just east of the city's downtown core. Originally laid out in a grid pattern in the late 19th century, the area was named after John Robert Boyle, a local lawyer and politician.

According to the 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census, Boyle Street is home to approximately 6,947 residents across 4,257 dwellings, showcasing its status as a densely populated and dynamic community.
