Access & Parking

Homes with a Garage in South Terwillegar, Edmonton

Homes with a Garage in South Terwillegar, Edmonton

About half of the homes in Terwillegar have garages 52.5%. This doesn’t mean there are no parking spots for other homes – condos will have a parking stall, but the more garages there are seems to affect the number of cars on the street.

Parking is pretty good in the neighbourhood. Again, there are a number of homes that have rear-drive garages and so there should be some extra space out front. Remember, I think of this as a big deal for people wanting to have guests or families with kids who drive. If there is no parking, it can be pretty stressful to live somewhere, and having too many cars on the street looks unsightly to most buyers – this can affect property values. South Terwillegar real estate is not that affected by this issue.

Access for South Terwillegar isn’t great. Many residents will likely have to travel through Terwillegar Towne to get to a major road – something I’m not a big fan of. The reast will be using Rabbit Hill Road as it is the best way directly out of the neighbourhood. It could be a fair bit of traffic during peak hours and if there is any construction, an accident or poor driving conditions, it will impact travel time.

Transit To and From South Terwillegar

There are quite a few bus stops in South Terwillegar, so hopefully transit commuters won’t have to walk too far to catch a bus.
