With easy accessibility to the bustling city of Edmonton but cocooned within the safe, beautiful environs of a plush residential abode, Dechene unquestionably has the best of both worlds. 

Sprinkled with loop architectural designs and cul-de-sacs on the interior and with convenient arterials on the exterior, the area has been well designed to ensure traffic is mainly relegated to the outer edges of the neighbourhood and the main urban roads provide excellent connectivity to the heart of Edmonton. 

Dotted with attractive residences that surround a stunning park and two exceptional schools nestled in the heart of the neighbourhood, the community is a family-centric society. Residents have peace of mind thanks to the safety the area provides, and senior residents and children alike thoroughly enjoy the peaceful and charming abode they love calling home.

Dechene is named in honor of Joseph Miville Dechene who was one of the first entrepreneurs in the area. Subsequently, he became a political figure as a member of the Alberta Legislature from 1921 to 1935 as well as a member of Parliament for Athabasca until his retirement in 1958.

Years later in 1972, the City of Edmonton acquired Dechene and with civic development commencing in the 1980s, it progressed right through into the 21st century. 

Approximately 89% of all the homes in the neighbourhood are beautiful single-detached homes, with the remaining 11% of the residences comprising smart duplexes and beautiful townhouses that make up a seemingly triangular shaped area. As a testament to how much Dechene is cherished and loved by its community, an amazing 97% of all the homes are owner-occupied.
