The Grange Houses for Sale - Edmonton

The Grange Community Amenities & Features:

Communities in The Grange consist of Glastonbury, Granville, and The Hamptons. One important aspect of this plan was to keep the construction and design contiguous with existing west Edmonton communities, and to provide for expansion that would offer municipal services while also preserving much of the natural lands. Early development for the area started with agreements through private land owners, and eventually shifted to a greater city appropriation of space, although the initial plan structure still holds.

Along with living spaces, The Grange also gives residents good public transportation, proximity to city centre, and commercial outlets to meet basic needs. A large incorporation of pedestrian and cycling trails was also an aspect of the development plan, and this includes the integration of parks, preserve lands, and natural features of the environment.

As a family centric development, educational facilities had been structured into the layout for The Grange, and institutions for each of the communities are well rated. Some of the local schools for The Grange include the Bessie Nichols School, Sister Annata Brockman Catholic School, and Parkland Emmanuel Christian School. Pre-school and daycare services are also prevalent throughout the communities, with both public and private options.

The Grange represents an innovative approach in suburban expansion that is intended to accommodate the growing population of Edmonton while still ensuring stewardship to the natural surroundings. One predicate of the structuring was to allocate land use percentages that made the distinction between municipal and preserve holdings. This would ensure that natural features would not be appropriated and also included that the creation of preserves would be a part of the plan as well.

Commuter services into the city are primarily through bus lines that connect with adjacent suburbs and transit centres. Drivers will find that access is quite simple along Whitemud Drive, 62nd Avenue, and Lessard Road. Although many residents in The Grange do work within the boundaries of Edmonton, some residents also find employment in the expansion of the suburban regions. Construction positions are still strong jobs for the area, as are retail and hospitality employment, along with education and healthcare. The mix of inhabitants in The Grange makes for a well rounded community that is committed to a welcoming and integrative feel.

For many residents, this location is an ideal spot that is less than six kilometers from the city centre and still close to outlying amenities. The proximity to the West Edmonton Mall is another strong attraction as this destination features shopping, entertainment, and dining.
