Location & Description
Glenora one of the oldest communities in Edmonton, Glenora’s limits are 107 avenue to the north, 142 street to the west, Groat road and Groat ravine to the east and the river valley to the south.
Access to Glenora is quick and easy because of major roads surrounding and running through it. Access points are all along 142 st, 107 ave and via two bridges to the east over groat road and the ravine through Stony Plain road and 102 avenue.
Homes sold in Glenora (2011 year) range in size from 899 square feet all the way to 6996 square feet, and have sold in the range from $365,000 all the way up to $3,175,000 – a testament to the value of the location, but also to the size and breadth of the neighbourhood. Homes overlooking the river valley will typically cost over $1 million, and prices decrease the farther north you go. Homes south of Stony Plain Road (which bisects the neighbourhood) are considered part of what is called ‘Old Glenora’ and are considered more valuable than those north of Stony Plain road.
A bar graph showing when homes were constructed in Glenora*
The vast majority of homes in Glenora were constructed after WWII and before 1960. There was a great demand for real estate at the time, and since Edmonton was still quite small, areas close to the downtown core were the first to become fully developed. To this day, many of those homes remain as they were sturdily built and are considered still an adequate size. However, as property values increase, some homes have been replaced with larger, more expensive infill homes – especially smaller homes in areas overlooking the river valley or close to the ravine.
