A median of $496,000 and a mean of $450,748: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Alberta, so nothing here says what Ambleside’s homes actually sold for. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $360,000. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Edmonton, with Ambleside one part of it.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Alberta’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch.
