Stony Plain Real Estate & Neighbourhood Guide (2026)
25 neighbourhoods compared: prices, schools, parks and which one fits you, with current MLS® numbers.
By Jay Lewis, REALTOR® | RE/MAX Excellence
25+ years in new construction, trades and sales · Updated October 2026 · About me
Short answer: Stony Plain is a town of about 18,000 people (2021 census), about 20 km west of Edmonton and next door to Spruce Grove. For family homes it's two markets at once. Resale homes are scarce and sell in about three weeks (about 1.4 months of inventory, a seller's market), while new construction has far more choice (about 7.5 months, a buyer's market). The right neighbourhood depends on your budget, your commute, the school you want, and how much room you want to negotiate.
Stony Plain is smaller and quieter than Spruce Grove, with a walkable Old Town, an 18-hole golf course in town and newer communities such as Westerra on the south side. 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 the neighbourhoods the way I'd walk them with you: what they cost, what's being built, which schools and parks are close, and what I look at in the homes themselves.

How to choose the right Stony Plain neighbourhood
Three questions narrow 25 neighbourhoods down to two or three.
1. New or resale?
Resale family homes sell in about three weeks here, and only 14 were for sale on Oct 2. New construction has more choice and more room to negotiate on upgrades, closing costs or quick-possession homes. Your answer points you to different parts of town.
2. What does daily life need?
Pick the school, the park and the route first. Westerra is a walk from the high school, South Creek and The Fairways sit by the golf course, Meridian Heights has the French Immersion school, and Old Town is walkable to shops.
3. What's the all-in budget?
Add GST on a new home, lot premiums, upgrades, fencing and landscaping, plus Town of Stony Plain property taxes. In an older home, I look at what's actually been updated versus what's only cosmetic.

Why buyers choose Stony Plain
What I hear most from buyers looking west of Edmonton.
Small-town feel
About 18,000 people, a walkable Old Town with 40 murals, and Farmers' Days at Heritage Park every June. It's quieter than Spruce Grove, which is right next door.
More home per dollar
New family homes sold for a median of about $278 per square foot over the last 90 days, compared with about $289 in Edmonton and $294 in St. Albert and Sherwood Park.
Leverage on new builds
25 new family homes were for sale on Oct 2 and 10 sold in 90 days. 18 of the 25 had been listed for more than 90 days, so builders have reason to talk.
Golf in town
The 18-hole Stony Plain Golf Course has a driving range and a free four-hole course for kids, with The Fairways, Graybriar and South Creek around it.
Parks and trails
About 45 km of trails and more than 30 playgrounds, plus Rotary Park's pond and winter skating, a spray park and an off-leash dog park.
Health care close by
The WestView Health Centre in Stony Plain has a 24/7 emergency department, which matters to a lot of the families and downsizers I work with.

What it means for you: if you're buying resale, be ready to move quickly, because there are few homes and they sell in about three weeks. If you're buying new, you have time to compare, and builders sitting on finished homes are more likely to negotiate on upgrades, closing costs or price. Get it all in the purchase agreement.

Murals, museum and a new rec facility
Stony Plain's outdoor gallery has 40 murals, with horse-and-wagon tours in summer, and the Pioneer Museum has a collection of heritage buildings. A new Community Recreation Facility in Old Town South (track, turf field, sport courts, pickleball and curling) was planned to open in late 2026.
Schools & education in Stony Plain
School is often the first filter for families. Here's how it's organized.
Public schools
Run by Parkland School Division: Memorial Composite High School (10–12) beside Westerra, Westview School (K–9, opened in 2023), High Park School (K–9), Forest Green School (K–6) and École Meridian Heights School (K–9), which offers French Immersion for all of Stony Plain.
Catholic and francophone
Evergreen Catholic runs St. John Paul II Catholic School (to Grade 8) in town, and the nearest Catholic high school is in Spruce Grove. École La Trinité is the francophone school; in March 2026 the Province funded planning for a permanent K–12 building.
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
Stony Plain is about 20 km west of Edmonton. Highway 16A runs east through Spruce Grove, and Highway 628 (79 Avenue) runs about 19 km to Edmonton's city limits, where it becomes Whitemud Drive. There's no direct commuter bus from Stony Plain: on-demand local transit connects to the Route 560 commuter bus in Spruce Grove on weekdays. Test-drive your route at rush hour before you buy.
Property taxes
Stony Plain's 2026 residential rates add up to about 9.43 mills, including the education and seniors' housing levies. That's roughly $943 a year for every $100,000 of assessed value, or about $4,700 on a home assessed at $500,000. Assessed value isn't the same as sale price, so check the tax notice for the specific home.

Both. Resale family homes are a seller's market at about 1.4 months of inventory, while new construction is a buyer's market at about 7.5 months (sales pace over the 90 days to Oct 2, 2026).

Which Stony Plain neighbourhoods have new construction?
Westerra, The Brickyard and South Creek had the most new family homes for sale on Oct 2, 2026, with a few more in Silverstone, The Fairways, Graybriar, Sun Meadows and Genesis on the Lakes. Phases open and sell out often, so I confirm current builders and availability before you visit.
Can I negotiate on a new home in Stony Plain?
Often, yes. On Oct 2, 2026, 18 of the 25 new family homes for sale had been on the market more than 90 days. Builders may prefer upgrades or closing-cost help over a price cut. Get every incentive in writing.
Are new homes cheaper per square foot than resale in Stony Plain?
Recently, yes: about $278 per sq ft for new versus $298 for resale (median sold, 90 days to Oct 2, 2026). New homes were larger, and many resale homes have finished basements that aren't counted, so compare the whole package.
What schools are in Stony Plain?
Parkland School Division runs Memorial Composite High School (10–12), Westview School (K–9, opened in 2023), High Park School (K–9), Forest Green School (K–6) and École Meridian Heights School (K–9, French Immersion).

About 20 km west of Edmonton. Highway 16A runs through Spruce Grove, and Highway 628 (79 Avenue) runs about 19 km east to Edmonton's city limits, where it becomes Whitemud Drive. Test-drive your route at rush hour before you buy.

The 2026 residential tax rates add up to about 9.43 mills, or roughly $943 a year for every $100,000 of assessed value, including the education and seniors' housing levies. Check the tax notice for the specific home, because assessments differ from sale prices.
What is Stony Plain known for?
Its outdoor gallery of 40 murals, the Farmers' Days Rodeo and Exhibition at Heritage Park, the Pioneer Museum, Shikaoi Park's Japanese garden, an 18-hole golf course and about 45 km of trails.
Is Rosenthal Estates the same as Rosenthal in Edmonton?
No. Rosenthal Estates is a luxury acreage-style community just outside Stony Plain. Rosenthal is a separate neighbourhood in west Edmonton.
