Location & Description of Queen Alex
Queen Alexandra is a neighbourhood located just south of Whyte avenue between 109th street and 104th street and running up to 70th Avenue.
Prices of homes in Queen Alex are fairly reasonable when it comes to such a central area at a $375,000 average. Prices ranged all the way from $150,000 to $750,000 in 2012 – not very expensive compared to some other neighbourhoods in the area. Average home sizes are just over 1100ft² and the range (of the ones sold in 2012 at least) is one bedroom apartments at a miniscule 460ft² ranging all the way to a very large – but still fairly reasonable 2500ft².
Queen Alex is fairly popular these days – getting a Hot Market score of 49.4 °G. That’s a little more popular than neighbourhoods nearby, but not so hot as McKernan. The area is quite desirable with owners, too – over 95% of them didn’t try to sell last year – meaning the area is excellent at meeting their needs – be it for investing or living. Interestingly as well, the Dilapidation Score for the neighbourhood is very low meaning even though there are a lot of older homes and buildings here, they are well kept. That is a huge plus for residents because too many run down homes starts to make an entire area look run down. Not the case in Queen Alex.
Queen Alexandra is located in Edmonton real estate zone 15 along with McKernan, Allendale, Parkallen, Garneau, Windsor Park and the University of Alberta.
