Typical values from the City of Edmonton’s 2026 property assessments, the most complete public record of every home in the city.
Ellerslie
The Orchards at Ellerslie
Source: City of Edmonton Open Data, 2026 property assessments, which estimate market value as of July 1, 2025. Medians of 2026 assessed values for fully residential properties. Houses are homes on their own titled lot (detached houses, plus duplexes and townhomes that aren't condos). Condos are condominium units of 35 square metres or more, such as apartments and condo townhomes. Size is the City's total gross area for each building. Typical means the median. Assessed values are set for property tax, so they aren’t the same as what a home would sell for today.
Living in Ellerslie
What it’s like
The Ellerslie name goes back more than a century. The Ellerslie School District was set up in 1895 and a post office opened in 1896, when this was farmland on the trail between Edmonton and Calgary. Today’s Ellerslie neighbourhood, north of Ellerslie Road between 91 Street and 66 Street, was planned and built in the early 2000s, with natural tree stands, small parks and pathways throughout.
The Orchards at Ellerslie is further south, below Summerside, and much newer, with most homes built since the mid 2010s. It’s named for the fruit trees planted through the neighbourhood, and it has a central clubhouse with a splash park, skating, tennis courts and playgrounds for residents.
