Avonmore is a southeast Edmonton neighbourhood with roots dating back to the mid-20th century. The area was named after a river in Ireland, reflecting Edmonton’s tradition of adopting international names for local communities. Housing here is primarily single-family homes, many of which have been renovated or redeveloped, giving Avonmore a blend of older charm and modern updates.
The neighbourhood benefits from close proximity to Mill Creek Ravine, which serves as a recreational spine for walking, cycling, and nature appreciation. Avonmore also offers schools, local parks, and an engaged community league that organizes activities for residents. The neighbourhood’s central location allows easy access to Downtown, Whyte Avenue, and major transit routes, making it attractive for families and professionals alike.
