Highlands Edmonton Apartments for Rent

Neighbourhood Overview

Highlands is one of Edmonton's most architecturally significant and historically celebrated neighbourhoods, a compact community in the northeast of the city along Ada Boulevard above the North Saskatchewan River valley. Developed in the early 20th century as an exclusive residential enclave, Highlands features an extraordinary collection of heritage homes — Edwardian, Arts and Crafts, Georgian Revival — on tree-canopied streets that have been designated a provincial heritage resource. Ada Boulevard runs along the river valley escarpment with panoramic views that draw cyclists and walkers from across the city. The Highlands Golf Club is at the community's eastern edge. One-bedroom suites in character homes run $1,400–$2,000/month; full character home rentals $2,500–$4,500/month. Highlands is for renters who understand architectural history and want to live inside it. "Highlands is the most beautiful neighbourhood in Edmonton, full stop. The heritage homes on Ada Boulevard, the river valley view, the golf course at the end of the street. I rent the upper suite of an Arts and Crafts home built in 1912 and I feel grateful every single day." — Monica B., heritage architect and Highlands resident
