Decoteau is a planned suburban district located in southeast Edmonton, envisioned as one of the city’s major future residential growth areas. Still in the early stages of development, Decoteau represents Edmonton’s long-term strategy for sustainable urban expansion.
The area is intended to house tens of thousands of residents over the coming decades, with neighbourhoods built around natural wetlands, stormwater management systems, and an extensive network of parks and trails. The vision for Decoteau includes walkable communities, schools, and commercial nodes that will integrate seamlessly into Edmonton’s broader suburban landscape.
While construction is only beginning, the district’s location—bordered by major transportation corridors—ensures excellent future access to other parts of Edmonton. Plans emphasize a balance between modern housing and environmental conservation, making Decoteau a model of 21st-century suburban planning.
For now, Decoteau is largely undeveloped farmland and natural space, but in the years ahead it will transform into a vibrant residential district that expands Edmonton’s capacity for growth while maintaining livability and sustainability.
