If you’re looking at buying a home in southwest Edmonton, specifically in Terwillegar, Windermere or Chappelle, you’re likely wondering: “How much is this really going to cost in 2025?” Here’s a real‑estate‑friendly breakdown of current pricing, lot and floor‑size expectations, and key takeaways to help you make sense of it — brought to you by Blu Erick and Jenniffer Erick, your local REALTORS® with Maxwell Polaris Realty.
Market Snapshot: Edmonton as a whole
Before diving into the specific neighbourhoods, here are some city‑wide numbers to anchor expectations:
-
In May 2025, the average home price in the Greater Edmonton area was about CAD $464,000. wealthnorth+1
-
Detached homes in that same period averaged around CAD $580,000. wealthnorth
-
For Edmonton overall, the benchmark/average price continues to rise, reflecting strong demand and relatively low supply. Royal LePage Noralta+1
With that baseline in mind, let’s explore each neighbourhood.
Terwillegar
Pricing & size estimates
-
In the specific sub‑area Terwillegar Towne, recent data shows: average asking price of about CAD $612,192 (based on ~25 active listings) as of October 2025. edmontonhomes.ca
-
Other reporting puts median list price around CAD $517,400 in September 2025 for Terwillegar Towne, with ~$306 per square foot. Houseful
-
A market update from July 2025 listed a median about CAD $678,500 for detached homes in Terwillegar Towne. realtyedmonton.ca
What this translates to in size/lot terms
-
If you’re buying a ~1,800 to 2,000 sq ft detached home in Terwillegar, you might be looking at the CAD $600,000‑700,000 range (depending on condition, upgrades, lot size).
-
Lot sizes in these established SW neighborhoods typically range from ~4,000 to 7,000 sq ft (or more in premium lots), but exact lot size premiums apply.
-
The price per sq ft figure (~$300+ in recent data) gives a useful ballpark.
Why this matters
For buyers targeting family homes with decent yards, good schools and amenities in Terwillegar, the budget needs to reflect that upper‑mid level of pricing. For comparison: the city‑wide average is much lower, so Terwillegar is above average — reflecting its desirability.
Windermere
Pricing & size estimates
-
According to one source, the median list price in Windermere in September 2025 was about CAD $667,000 with ~$347 per square foot. Houseful
-
Another dataset (Oct 2025) gave an average price ~CAD $869,986 in Windermere, with ~$358 per sq ft. HonestDoor
-
On a broader luxury‑end note, some commentary suggests Windermere homes in certain pockets are “from $400,000 to over $1 million” or more. Royal LePage Noralta+1
What this means in size/lot terms
-
A higher‑end, detached home of ~2,300 sq ft or more in Windermere could easily cost CAD $800,000‑1,000,000+ depending on lot size, finishings, view etc.
-
Lot sizes here are often larger, and because Windermere is considered more upscale (amenities, proximity to river valley, newer builds, custom‑homes) you’ll pay a premium for bigger lots and luxury features.
-
If the price per sq ft is ~$350‑$360, a 2,400 sq ft home would suggest ~ $840,000 just for basic calculation before lot/upgrade premiums.
What buyers should consider
Windermere is at the upper end of the market among the three neighbourhoods discussed. If your budget is there, great — but if you’re looking for more “mainstream” pricing, Terwillegar or Chappelle may offer better value.
Chappelle
Pricing & size estimates
-
Data for Chappelle (Sept 2025) shows a median list price ~CAD $564,999 and median size ~1,726 sq ft. Houseful
-
Another source lists “average list price ~CAD $550,138” and recent sales averaging ~CAD $498,493 in Chappelle. Sellsio
-
Price per square foot data for Chappelle shows ~$313/sq ft in one dataset. Houseful
What this means in size/lot terms
-
If you find a home ~1,700‑2,000 sq ft in Chappelle, budget roughly CAD $500,000‑600,000 depending on lot, condition, build year.
-
For minimal lot premiums and moderate finishings, Chappelle offers good value vs. Windermere.
-
Lot sizes may be somewhat smaller compared to Windermere, and some newer builds may be in developments with varying lot widths/depths — always check.
Why this is appealing
For buyers looking for south‑west Edmonton lifestyle, good schools, amenities, and a more moderate budget, Chappelle provides a compelling option. It sits between the “mid‑market” and “upper‑market” neighbourhoods in terms of cost.
Comparative Table: Terwillegar vs Windermere vs Chappelle
| Neighbourhood | Approx Price Range* | Size/Lot Notes | Value‑Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terwillegar | ~CAD $600K‑700K (detached) | ~1,800‑2,000 sq ft good lot sizes | Family‑friendly, strong value in SW |
| Windermere | ~CAD $800K‑1M+ | ~2,300+ sq ft, premium lots | Upscale market, luxury features |
| Chappelle | ~CAD $500K‑600K | ~1,700‑2,000 sq ft moderate lots | Good value, south‑west, accessible |
*These are approximate ranges based on current data; actual cost will depend heavily on lot size, home condition, upgrades, location within community, and market movement.
Key Factors That Affect Cost
When comparing homes in these neighbourhoods, keep these in mind:
-
Lot size & orientation – Larger lots, corner lots, premium views (river valley, green space) will command higher prices.
-
Home size & layout – More square footage, higher ceilings, finished basements, and high‑end finishes = higher cost.
-
Build year & condition – Newer builds or well‑renovated homes cost more.
-
Community amenities – Proximity to schools, parks, shopping (e.g., Currents of Windermere), transit or major routes can influence price.
-
Market timing – As we’ve seen, average and benchmark prices in Edmonton continue to rise albeit at a moderate rate. Royal LePage Noralta+1
-
Comparative neighbourhoods – Some buyers may compare Terwillegar vs Chappelle and see better value in Chappelle; others might pay a premium for Windermere.
What This Means for You as a Buyer
-
If your budget is under CAD $600,000, Chappelle could be the sweet spot for a detached family home in SW Edmonton.
-
If you have more budget and want upscale features, Windermere is worth investigating — but expect significantly higher costs.
-
If you’re looking for a fairly high‑quality home but maybe not the top‑tier luxury, Terwillegar offers a strong balance.
-

Final Thoughts
Yes — buying a home in Terwillegar, Windermere or Chappelle in 2025 is very much possible, but the cost varies significantly by neighbourhood and by the size/lot/home features. The city‑wide average (~CAD $460‑500K) gives a baseline, but these three SW Edmonton communities are above that — especially Windermere.
