Affordability is relative — but Akinsdale has consistently ranked as one of the more accessible established neighbourhoods in St. Albert.
From 2010 to 2024, the overall median sale price for non-condo Akinsdale homes was $370,000. Even in 2024, with median pricing at $435,000, Akinsdale property remains competitive compared to many newer St. Albert communities pushing well beyond that mark.
The affordability advantage becomes even clearer when you factor in lot sizes, mature trees, and established infrastructure. Many Akinsdale homes sit on generous lots and offer square footage that would cost significantly more in newer developments.
There have been fluctuations. Prices dipped modestly between 2015–2019, reflecting broader Alberta economic conditions. But Akinsdale real estate didn’t collapse. It adjusted, stabilized, and then accelerated again during the 2021–2024 recovery cycle.
Condos in Akinsdale add another layer of affordability. Apartment-style units provide entry-level price points that allow buyers to enter the St. Albert market without stretching into detached pricing.
For first-time buyers, move-up families, and investors alike, Akinsdale homes represent value. Not “cheap.” Not distressed. Value.
And value in St. Albert tends to get noticed.
If affordability is a top priority in your search for Akinsdale real estate, this neighbourhood deserves serious attention.
