Devon Real Estate & Neighbourhood Guide (2026)
Prices, schools, parks, taxes and which neighbourhood fits you, with current MLS® numbers.

25+ years in new construction, trades and sales · Updated October 2026 · About me
Short answer: Devon is a town of about 7,000 people on the North Saskatchewan River, southwest of Edmonton. It's a small market for family homes: on Oct 3, 2026 there were 4 new and 8 resale detached family homes for sale, and 3 new and 1 resale sold in the previous 90 days. With so few sales, each home has to be priced on its own merits, and the right choice depends on your budget, your commute and the school you want.
Devon is a smaller, established river valley town. Imperial Oil built it after the Leduc No. 1 oil discovery in 1947. There are far fewer homes for sale here than in the bigger suburbs, so patience and good information matter. I've worked in new construction for more than 25 years, on the trades side and the sales side, so on this page I compare Devon the way I'd walk it with you: what homes cost, what's being built, which schools and parks are close, and what I look at in the homes themselves.

How to choose where to buy in Devon
Three questions narrow it down.
1. New or resale?
There are only a handful of each for sale at any time, so keep both on your list. Your answer points you to different parts of town.
2. What does daily life need?
Pick the school, the park and the route first. The Ravines area has walkout and ravine-backing lots, the older streets are closer to the river valley parks and schools, and Highway 60 and Highway 19 set your commute.
3. What's the all-in budget?
Add GST on a new home, lot premiums, upgrades, fencing and landscaping, plus property taxes. In an older home, I look at what's actually been updated versus what's only cosmetic.

Why buyers choose Devon
What I hear most from buyers looking here.
Less competition
Only 12 detached family homes were for sale on Oct 3. Fewer buyers look here, which can help when you negotiate.
What homes cost
New family homes sold for a median of about $278 per square foot over the last 90 days, and resale homes for about $273. Small samples, so treat these as a guide.
The river valley
Voyageur Park has a boat launch and picnic area, and it is the west end of the 88 km river valley trail system that runs to Fort Saskatchewan.
Small-town pace
About 7,000 people, with Devon Days each June and Christmas in the Park each winter.
A hospital in town
Devon General Hospital has a 24-hour emergency department.
Bike town
About 10 km of paved multi-use trails, plus the Riverview Bike Park with a skills area, pump track and dirt jumps.
Devon neighbourhoods
A small community, so the choice is mostly between the new area and the established streets.

What it means for you: Devon doesn't have enough sales to talk about a seller's or buyer's market with confidence. What the numbers do show is that 8 of the 12 family homes for sale have been listed for more than 90 days, so there is usually room for a conversation on price. I price each home against the few recent sales and against similar homes in nearby communities.

Schools & education in Devon
School is often the first filter for families. Here's how it's organized.
Public schools
Black Gold School Division runs Robina Baker Elementary School, Riverview Middle School (grades 5–9) and John Maland High School (grades 10–12).
Catholic school
Holy Spirit Catholic School serves Pre-K to Grade 8 in Devon. Confirm high school options with the Catholic division.
Confirm your school
Designated schools depend on the address and can change as new communities open. Before you buy, confirm the school for the specific address with the school division. I'll help you check it on every home we look at.
Commute and property taxes
Getting to Edmonton
Devon is on Highway 60, with Highway 19 running east to the QEII. Highway 19 has been twinned in phases. Test-drive your route at rush hour before you buy.
Property taxes
Devon's 2026 residential rates add up to about 9.44 mills, including the education and seniors' housing levies. That's roughly $944 a year for every $100,000 of assessed value, or about $4,250 on a home assessed at $450,000. Assessed value isn't the same as sale price, so check the tax notice for the specific home.
Tax rates: Town of Devon 2026 Tax Rate Bylaw. Rates are set each spring.
