How this ranking is built
No hard filter

This page applies no hard filter. An investor's real constraints (financing, target yield, unit type) are set by the deal rather than the neighbourhood, so everything with enough evidence is ranked and the yield signal is shown per row.

283 of 284 neighbourhoods qualify, 1 excluded.

Frequently asked

What is the best Edmonton neighbourhood for an Investor?
On this ranking, Blatchford Area leads at 68 out of 100, driven by value growth, transit access, development activity. River's Edge and Desrochers Area follow. There is no single best neighbourhood: this is the ranking that falls out of the priorities published above, and different priorities give a different order.
How is the Investor ranking calculated?
All 284 recommendable Edmonton neighbourhoods are scored on a weighted blend of rental yield 25%, value growth 20%, entry price 15%, transit access 15%, safety 15%, development activity 10%, using population-weighted dissemination-area data. The weighting is our editorial judgment about what this situation usually calls for, published here so you can disagree with it and re-rank on your own priorities.
What data is missing from this ranking?
Scores are computed only where the underlying data exists. A factor with no data for a neighbourhood is dropped from that neighbourhood's average rather than scored as zero, and each row states which factors were unavailable. Neighbourhoods with data for less than half their weighted factors are not ranked at all.
