Queen Alexandra is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood located in central Edmonton. It traces its roots back to the early 20th century, making it one of the city's older communities, but in terms of its construction, it has a good mix going for it. Newer infills are becoming more common, but there is a lot made in the Pre-war era, the Post-WWII era and the ‘60s and ‘70s. Even the early 1980s saw some construction in Queen Alexandra. This is not a common sight and makes for a very architecturally interesting community. With a population of roughly 4,700 people spread across approximately 2,800 homes (as per the 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census), the area showcases a mix of housing styles, from vintage single-family houses to modern condominiums and apartments, reflecting its long and evolving history.
Opportunities like this rarely come up in this pocket of the city. Located in proximity of the University of Alberta and minutes from Whyte Avenue, Queen Alexandra offers a lifestyle and location that consistently attracts long-term, reliable tenants year after year. This legal four-plex is thoughtfully laid out with a mix of one and two bedroom suites, each with its own private entrance, in-suite laundry, and separate electrical meter, allowing tenants to pay their own power and helping keep operating costs lower for the owner. The building has been well maintained and upgraded over time, with functional kitchens, comfortable living spaces, and layouts that work equally well for students, young professionals, or parents housing children attending the U of A. Four dedicated parking stalls add real value in an area where parking is always in demand. Situated in one of Edmonton’s most walkable and vibrant neighbourhoods, tenants enjoy easy access to transit, groceries, cafes, and the energy of Whyte Avenue.More details
