I do live next to the Valley Line. I wouldn't buy one (again) along it until it's shown how it affects home values.

For Sale - Arts Common in Alberta Avenue
Open to Offers
The City of Edmonton presents an exciting opportunity to purchase a prime Mixed Use (MU h16 f3.5 cf) site along the vibrant 118 Avenue corridor. The site is across the road from the Alberta Avenue community league and was the proposed ArtsCommon property. Ideally, a development would incorporate an arts hub that would be a gathering place for artists in the City.
The City is looking for proposals that would support the needs of the Alberta Avenue Community while aligning with the original ArtsCommon 118 project, focusing on delivering an achievable community-based, multi-disciplinary, but market-driven neighbourhood arts facility.
Proposals from qualified non-profit, community-based, or partnered groups aligned with the ArtsCommon 118 vision, with experience constructing a mixed-use development, will be prioritized. The winning proponent will be expected to continue to work with the community while constructing this development.
All interested parties must submit a Buyer’s Application Form to the City. In order to give all interested parties an equal opportunity, all submissions received will be held until 4:00 PM on March 10, 2026. After that time, the City may contact you to further negotiate and formalize a sale agreement.
For more information, please visit the City of Edmonton Property Sales website at edmonton.ca/propertysales.

All 3 Toys R Us locations have just been listed, ranging from $18 million to $26 million. Calgary Trail location marketed as a possible redevelopment opportunity.

Similar to the way that the ex-Lowe's/Rona on YYC Trail and WM - is listed for future apartment buildings

To each their own, but I couldn’t imagine living in between two busy arterial roads.

Gee whiz……a YYC publication and YYC is #1! What a surprise even though their year over year pricing is in the red…..

But imagine the convenience of being that close to a Toys R Us!

IF those arterials were to become more walkable, I wouldn't mind it one bit

IDK, maybe they forgot to update the order from before. It seems to have no relation to the Y/Y % change or anything else I can think of (alphabetical by city name, size of city, house prices, geographical location ...)

Maybe, just maybe, they put Calgary on the top line because it is the one that most of their target audience will be most interested in, and it's easier to reference something at the top when you're comparing stuff than if it were to be in the middle?
It's not the end of the world and I also don't think there's any underlying reasons that are not of practical order there. If I was making a publication targeted towards Edmonton, I would've done the same thing with Edmonton on the first line so it is easier for my readers to refer to it.

All pretty arbitrary picks, no science to it. They also spelled Vancouver wrong.

I get that they might put Calgary first, if it was prepared by someone there. There is generally no lack of humility there.
However, the lack of any logical order following that (and the spelling issue noted) does not inspire confidence in whoever did this.

Indeed, the list has no rhyme or reason as to why and how the cities are marked/scored....just another rando ranking list that has ZERO meaning
