East YEG Neighbourhood Profile

Fulton Place, Edmonton (East YEG)

A Name From the Creek

Fulton Place, in East YEG (East Edmonton), takes its name from the creek that runs through the ravine on its west boundary. The City of Edmonton Archives describes it as a mature neighbourhood with a stable population, developed in the 1950s. It sits within the wider area known as Greater Hardisty, and its official boundary was set on October 1, 1981.

Housing Stock & Architecture

This is a classic 1950s neighbourhood. In the 2001 federal census, about four in five homes (79.1%) were built between 1946 and 1960, another 9.6% in the 1960s, and only a small share after 1970. The 2005 municipal census counted about 86% single-family homes, about 6% low-rise rental apartments and about 1% duplexes, with roughly 85% of homes owner-occupied.

Those census figures are 20 years old or more, so treat them as a picture of the neighbourhood's character rather than current statistics. For buyers, the practical picture is mostly 1950s bungalows and similar homes, where the age of the home, its mechanical updates and the lot matter as much as the address.

The Ravine & River Valley Setting

The Fulton Creek ravine wraps the west and southwest edges of the neighbourhood. The City Archives notes that residents have easy access to the river valley, along with scenic views from vantage points along Fulton Drive. A home that backs onto the ravine is a different property than one on an interior block, so compare specific lots rather than the neighbourhood as a whole, and check ravine setback rules with the City before planning an addition or renovation.

Schools & Community

The Fulton Place Community League was established in 1958 and runs a community hall and outdoor rink at 61 Street and Fulton Road. The neighbourhood's former elementary school, Fulton Place School, closed in 2010 and is now used by non-profit and community organizations. School boundaries change, so confirm the current school for your child's grade with Edmonton Public Schools or Edmonton Catholic Schools before you buy.

Commute & Access

Fulton Place is bordered by 106 Avenue to the north, 101 Avenue to the south and 50 Street to the east. There is an interchange at the northwest corner where 106 Avenue meets Wayne Gretzky Drive, which gives quick access to the rest of the city. Its neighbours include Forest Heights, Capilano, Gold Bar, Terrace Heights and Ottewell.

Who Fulton Place Tends to Suit

Fulton Place works well for buyers who want a quiet, mostly single-family neighbourhood close to the river valley and comfortable with 1950s homes. It can suit families who value a community league and outdoor rink nearby, downsizers who like bungalows, and buyers who plan to update an older home. Buyers who want a brand new build should look at other areas.
