The People and The Real Estate in Bannerman
The charm of an enclosed little neighbourhood, hidden away from the bustle of the main city, combined with great access to all of Edmonton- Seems to be the perfect location but too good to be true?? Well, Bannerman actually has all of this and more and that’s the reason why it is quite so popular among home owners and renters in Edmonton. This little community offers an excellent opportunity to uncover a gem of a property because its many advantages are not very widely publicized. Packed with all the amenities that you could possibly need and with a friendly community that is warm and welcoming, Bannerman is really the perfect place to raise a family. This is a relatively small neighbourhood but that just makes the residents here more close knit. With excellent access via public transport and LRT to other parts of Edmonton, Bannerman is also a great location for those who want their daily commute to work to be painless and convenient.
The New Community of Bannerman
The charm of the neighbourhood is greatly enhanced by its proximity to the beautiful North Saskatchewan River. Bannerman lies right across the river and residents in this part of the neighbourhood get to enjoy the scenic River Valley views that make the neighbourhoods by the River so sought after. To the west, Bannerman is bound by Victoria Trail, to the north it has 144th Avenue encircling it, and on the south 137th Avenue marks the boundaries of the neighbourhood. The neighbourhoods closest to Bannerman are Fraser, Kernohan, Hairsine, Kirkness and Belmont.
Bannerman has been laid out with a great deal of thought, with the residential areas surrounding the school and the recreation facilities. The streets are laid out neatly within the community to give excellent access throughout Bannerman and also provide congestion free routes out of the community.
Victoria Trail is one of the most important roads here and the Clareview Town Centre on this trail is a key location for residents. With many a commercial establishment located here, this place is buzzing pretty much all the time.
Access to other parts of Edmonton via LRT is easy thanks to the Clareview LRT station that is located along 137th Avenue, just a little to the west of Bannerman.

Bus routes 10 and 187 running on the 139th Avenue also pass through the 23rd street and 26 streets right through the neighbourhood.
Your New Bannerman Home in Edmonton
Bannerman was named after a local businessman by the name H. Bannerman who set up home in the Belmont area back in 1883. He served on the board of Belmont School. The area which is now known as Bannerman became a part of the City of Edmonton in 1961 when much of this area was annexed into the city. The community’s development primarily took place during the 1970s.
Bannerman’s residences are mostly single family detached homes with sprawling back and front spaces. Properties here lining the North Saskatchewan River are especially sought after for the spectacular views they offer. Apart from these independent homes, you can also find quite a few row houses here that are ideal for a couple or for bachelors moving into this neighbourhood for the excellent access it offers to Edmonton’s business hubs.
The Bannerman Elementary Junior High School is located centrally in this neighbourhood. This school, part of the Edmonton Public School System, is a reputed one that makes the community a preferred choice for parents with young children. The Nellie McClung Girls Junior High is also located here and this school is quite well known for the special for- girls- only program it offers focusing leadership and academic achievement.
Things to do in Bannerman
With easy access to Downtown Edmonton, Bannerman residents are never likely to run out of things to do during the weekend. The nightlife and dining experiences downtown are definitely a must- see for newcomers to Edmonton. However, if you are looking for something to do closer to home, the neighbourhood won’t disappoint you either.

To the east, there are some spectacular, well maintained walking and biking paths that take you through the trees lining the North Saskatchewan River. You will find people from other locations making their way to these paths too, given that they are beautifully interconnected and they take you through some of Edmonton’s most picturesque hiking locations.
