Living in The Orchards.
The Orchards at Ellerslie is in southeast Edmonton, from 25 Avenue SW south to 41 Avenue SW (the city limit), west of 66 Street SW.
It is a master-planned community of about 500 acres. The City counted 4,126 residents in its 2019 census, and many more homes have been built since.
Every home gets a flowering tree that matches its street name, like Chokecherry or Hawthorn, so the community is full of blossoms in spring.
You can buy townhomes, duplexes, laned homes and front-garage homes here, both new from builders and resale. The City updated the land-use plan in January 2026, and more homes are on the way.

Tap a filter, then a place. Gold line = the City of Edmonton boundary. Places just outside it are included, because the café across the road counts too.
School zones: Edmonton Public Schools attendance areas from City of Edmonton open data (2021 school year, the newest published). Boundaries can change, so always check an address with the EPSB school locator. Edmonton Catholic does not publish zone maps; ask Brent or check with Edmonton Catholic Schools.
