Get to Know the Area

East of Britannia and following the curved flow of Elbow River, the verdant communities of Elboya, Parkhill, and Stanley Park stretch from 50 Avenue SW up to 34 Avenue SW, bounded by MacLeod Trail to the east. Serene, arbored streets, and a commitment to finding harmony between old and new are integral to these neighbourhoods where growing development doesn’t diminish the overall character. Elboya, Parkhill, and Stanley Park are also well-known as family-friendly communities that harbor a multitude of excellent schools and playground-laden parks. 

Historically, Elboya was annexed to the city in the early 1900s and developed fully a few decades later, while Parkhill — and Stanley Park, which is technically a segment of the Parkhill neighbourhood — retains many more historic homes, as much of its development occurred in the 1910s. 

Both locations have properties that span the century, from charming 1920s bungalows and grandiose, Tudor-inspired estates to bi-level townhomes with 1950s modernist appeal, set right next to Stanley Park. One of the most striking aspects of these neighbourhoods is the continued development of new residential housing. Sophisticated new-build homes offer spacious floor plans and eco-friendly design without losing any elegance.
