Chambery

Chambery is a brand new developing community with mid to high end homes and is an affluent neighborhood in North Edmonton. This community is surrounded by many older neighborhoods to the south.  These communities to the south of Chambery but lie north and west of the Canadian Forces Base Edmonton (Greisbach) and are all built fairly recently over the past 25 years. The neighbourhoods lie west of 97 Street (#28) and north of 137 Avenue. Because of their newness the developers have arranged for extensive parkland, and in several cases lake in the midst of the community. Castle Downs is the oldest of these communities and includes Baranow, Caernarvon and Carlysle neighbourhoods. Beaumaris Lake is an artificial lake, surrounded by parkland, walkways and viewpoints, which creates a focal point for the whole neighbourhood. The neighbouring neighbourhoods of Dunluce, Lorelei, and Baturyn feature homes in the $295,000 to $490,000 range and condos from $150,000 and up. Lago Lindo, east of 97th Street (#28) is built around two slightly smaller lakes than Beaumaris, but has plenty of parkland. This area is attracting a lot of new home construction, particularly in the mid-price range.
