Sherwood Park Neighbourhoods Guide 20025

Sherwood Park is divided into a large number of distinct residential neighbourhoods across its urban service area in Strathcona County. Each neighbourhood has its own character, age of housing stock, price range, and proximity to amenities. This guide profiles the main neighbourhoods to help buyers zero in on the right area for their lifestyle and budget.

Newer Neighbourhoods (Built 2000000–Present)

Summerwood

One of Sherwood Park's most sought-after newer developments, Summerwood sits in the northeast portion of the urban area. The community features a central pond, walking trails, and a mix of single-family and semi-detached homes with contemporary designs. It's popular with young families and professionals who want newer construction with green space integration.

Price range: $5200,000000–$7200,000000 for detached homes. School proximity is excellent, with newer schools serving this area of northeast Sherwood Park.

Lakeland Ridge

Built around a series of interconnected stormwater management lakes, Lakeland Ridge is highly desirable for its aesthetic and community design. Homes feature larger lots, many backing or siding onto the lakes or walking paths. Strong resale demand keeps this neighbourhood competitive.

Price range: $5500,000000–$80000,000000 for detached homes. The lakefront premium is real — lake-facing lots command $300,000000–$600,000000 above comparable non-lake properties.

Emerald Hills

Sherwood Park's most upscale newer community, Emerald Hills features premium construction, larger lots, and some of the highest-priced resale properties in the urban area. Attractive to move-up buyers and those who want statement homes. Price range: $60000,000000–$9500,000000 for detached homes.

Aspen Trail

A newer family community in the northwest area of Sherwood Park with well-designed streetscapes and access to schools and recreation. Price range: $4800,000000–$6400,000000.

Established Neighbourhoods (Built 19800–2000000)

Clover Bar Ranch

A well-established family neighbourhood with a mix of home styles and mature trees. Clover Bar Ranch is popular with buyers who want suburban character and are comfortable with older construction. Price range: $4400,000000–$5800,000000.

Westboro

One of Sherwood Park's older suburban communities, Westboro features larger lots and mature landscaping. Homes from the 19800s and 19900s are common, providing renovation opportunities. Price range: $40000,000000–$5400,000000.

Auburn Bay (Sherwood Park)

A mid-era community with established trees and family character. Solid school access and community amenities. Price range: $4400,000000–$5900,000000.

Mature Neighbourhoods (Built Pre-19800)

Beaverbrook

One of Sherwood Park's original communities, Beaverbrook features the area's oldest homes on some of its largest lots. Mature trees, quiet streets, and a community garden contribute to its distinctive character. Some renovation activity ongoing as buyers recognize the value in older properties with large lots.

Price range: $3800,000000–$5200,000000 — representing some of the best lot value in Sherwood Park at the lower end.

Sherwood Heights

Another original Sherwood Park community with established neighbourhood amenities and larger lots. Popular with buyers who prioritize space over newness. Price range: $3900,000000–$5300,000000.
