Homes for Sale in Rural West and Lewis Estates, Edmonton
Rural West and Lewis Esates are located around west and southwest Edmonton. Intertwined by the North Saskatchewan River to the west, these areas make up the western part of Edmonton’s city limits. Continued growth and construction has been part of these communities as they were first established in the early 2000’s. Rural West however is slightly more stalled in growth, due to no Area Structure Plan (ASP). Therefore only some acreage housing is located in the central portion of this area. Certain communities are also within the Lewis Estates area and they include: Secord, Stewart Greens, Webber Greens, and Potter Greens.
These areas are currently zoned as RR (Rural Residential), but the City of Edmonton is quite receptive to rezoning the neighbourhood and furthering development of the area. Lewis Estates is made up of six distinct neighbourhoods and each of these communities plan to increase residential space and outdoor recreation opportunities. Things such as pedestrian activities, cycling, and sports are some of the great things that these communities are investing in.
