When people say "the university area", they usually mean the neighbourhoods around the University of Alberta: Garneau, Windsor Park, Belgravia, McKernan and Parkallen.
Most of this land was part of the City of Strathcona and joined Edmonton in the 1912 amalgamation. Garneau filled in early, while Windsor Park, Belgravia, McKernan and Parkallen mostly grew in the 1940s and 1950s.
The result is a mix you rarely find in one area: character homes and post-war bungalows, apartments near campus, river valley views and an LRT line running through the middle.
