Idylwylde Houses for Sale - Edmonton

To the southern side of the central Bonnie Doon area, Idylwylde is a smaller neighborhood that has been established in the region since 1914. As with many of the communities in South Central Edmonton, much of the residential space remained fairly rural until the mid 1900's, when the end of World War II and the discovery of oil deposits in nearby sections generated the need for more living space.

Although Idylwylde has been considerably built up since its agrarian start, the subdivision still uses natural landscaping and park lands to preserve a restful residential space.
