Leduc holds a special place in Alberta's history — it was the site of the Leduc No. 1 oil discovery in 1947, which launched Alberta's modern petroleum industry. Today it's a thriving city of approximately 35,000 residents just 30 km south of Edmonton, immediately adjacent to Edmonton International Airport (YEG).
The median home price of approximately $390,000 makes Leduc one of the most affordable Edmonton-area suburbs. Strong employment in aviation, logistics, oil services, and agriculture supports a stable housing market.
