Dovercourt, situated in northwest Edmonton, is a quaint and mature neighborhood, with development primarily occurring in the 1950s. The area was designed under the city’s first unit plan, an innovative post-war urban planning concept that emphasized curvilinear street patterns to reduce traffic and enhance residential life. Named with a theme of British place names, Dovercourt provides residents with a stable, community-oriented living environment. It’s home to roughly 2,100 residents across about 800 homes, largely consisting of single-family dwellings. This neighborhood appeals to those who appreciate a slower-paced lifestyle with the charm of mid-century architecture and well-established amenities.
