Parkview, Edmonton

Parkview is a residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Parkview is one of the larger residential neighbourhoods in the city, and is located adjacent to the North Saskatchewan River Valley in the west portion of the City. The neighbourhood has good access to Whitemud Drive and Stony Plain Road, and the interior street layout is based on a modified grid network.

Most of Parkview developed in the mid-to-late 1950s. Almost all homes are single-detached houses, although there is a small apartment-style building located in the centre of the neighbourhood adjacent to the Valleyview Shopping Centre and Parkview Elementary and Junior High School. The Shopping Centre is located on 142 Street, in the heart of the neighborhood. This is a relatively unique placement for commercial activity, as shopping areas are more often located close to major roads.

Parkview’s name reflects the scenic views of the River Valley that can be seen from the neighbourhood. The portion of Parkview located to the east of 142nd Street was previously known as Valleyview, and the neighbourhood also incorporates a portion of the former Bueno Vista subdivision. All of these names describe the scenery of the area.

The community is represented by the Parkview Community League, established in 1956, which maintains a community hall and surrounding amenities located at 146 Street and 91 Avenue. The community League brings residents together, improves community amenities, and enhances the quality of life for you and your neighbours.

Parkview Community Hall, established in the mid 1950s, has recently been upgraded providing a modern, multi-use venue for both community events and third party rentals.

In the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, Parkview had a population of 3,334 living in 1,343 dwellings, a -1.4% change from its 2009 population of 3,382. With a land area of 1.54 km2 (0.59 sq mi), it had a population density of 2,164.9 people/km2 in 2012.

Most of the residential construction in the neighbourhood occurred after the end of World War II, with seven out of ten residences being constructed between 1946 and 1960. Substantially all residential construction was completed by 1970. Residences east of 142 Street tend to be more affluent, while residences west of 142 Street tend to be more affordable. According to the 2005 municipal census, 100% of the residences in the neighbourhood are single-family dwellings. Substantially all residences are owner-occupied.
