If you spend most of your life in downtown Edmonton Alberta, either at work or at play, then maybe it’s time to buy a home there. It just so happens that one of the most exciting Edmonton real estate developments in recent years is now underway at Aurora, where condos and townhomes are being built in the heart of the city. As well as waving goodbye to your daily commute to work, living at Aurora puts you within walking distance of all your favorite places, be it the Winspear Centre, the Citadel Theatre, city centre shopping malls, or High Street. In keeping with the urban lifestyle, there is a selection of contemporary designs for your condo, and of course city views abound, while the landscaped courtyard provides an island of nature within the downtown core.

If you are looking for a home in the Edmonton area, but you prefer the feel of a small town, you may want to take a close look at St Albert, Alberta. Although some people may find the commute to Edmonton too much to deal with on a daily basis, others may consider it to be worthwhile for the advantages living in St Albert can bring to the whole family.
St Albert has all the amenities you would expect from an Alberta community, such as schools, health care and recreational facilities, and also boasts several parks and a vibrant art scene. In a recent study Maclean’s magazine found St Albert to be the safest city in western Canada, and there is no doubt that it offers a reasonable alternative to the city of Edmonton for those who prefer a more relaxed pace of life.
Plus, if you need the occasional taste of city life, the St Albert Transit system offers a commuter service to Edmonton, which includes downtown, the Universty of Edmonton and West Edmonton Mall.
