Westmount Edmonton Apartments for Rent

Neighbourhood Overview

Westmount is a historically significant inner-city neighbourhood in northwest Edmonton, developed in the early 20th century and centred on the 124th Street Arts District — one of Edmonton's most recognized urban corridors for independent galleries, restaurants, boutique retail, and specialty food shops. The Westmount Shopping Centre, at the corner of Stony Plain Road and 124th Street, anchors the community's commercial core with grocery, pharmacy, and service retail. The neighbourhood's residential fabric is dominated by early 20th-century character homes — Craftsman bungalows, foursquares, and two-storey brick residences on wide, treed lots — with a significant inventory of basement suites and upper-floor rental units created through decades of character home conversion. Westmount is popular with artists, creative professionals, and anyone who values character housing in a walkable inner-city setting. The 124th Street gallery strip is a genuine cultural asset: First Thursdays events draw art crowds monthly from September through May, and the mix of restaurants along 124th Street and Jasper Avenue puts Westmount residents within walking distance of some of Edmonton's best dining. Transit access includes multiple bus routes on Stony Plain Road and 107th Avenue, with connections to downtown Edmonton in 15–20 minutes. MacEwan University is approximately 15 minutes by transit. One-bedroom rents in Westmount range from $1,250–$1,850/month in character conversions and older apartments; two-bedrooms average $1,700–$2,500/month. "124 Street is the most real street in Edmonton. Every business is independent, every building has some history. I walk my dog past galleries and good restaurants every morning. Westmount feels like what every city neighbourhood should be." — Jordan P., graphic designer and Westmount resident
