Before 1961 is when 29% of Rosslyn’s homes went up, beside 5% for Alberta’s towns
The middle home was worth $310,000 at the 2021 census, the average $310,527. No sales are published for towns in Alberta, Rosslyn included, so owners’ values are the measure. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $360,000. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Edmonton, Rosslyn included.
What Rosslyn’s homes are worth, two ways
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.
