Northwest Edmonton Real Estate:
Community of Athlone
The Northwest Edmonton community of Athlone encompasses all real estate located east of St. Albert Trail, south of 132nd Ave, west of 127th Street, and north of 127th Ave. Athlone has a long-standing history dating back to 1913 when the City of Edmonton first annexed the land. However, residential development did not commence until the early 1950s following the post-World War II housing boom that drove the demand for single-family homes. Known for its affordability, detached homes, laid-back ambiance, and close proximity to amenities, Athlone is ideally suited for families seeking budget-friendly housing options. Athlone derives its name from the Earl of Athlone, Alexander Augustus, who held the position of Canada's Governor-General from 1940 to 1946.
