About Glenora
Glenora is one of Edmonton's oldest and most prestigious neighbourhoods, known for its canopy of mature elms, stately early-20th-century homes, and sweeping views of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Residents enjoy unparalleled access to the River Valley trail system, an easy commute to downtown, and the quiet elegance of a truly established community.
Originally developed in the early 1900s for Edmonton's professional class, Glenora retains much of its original charm. The neighbourhood is bordered by the ravine system to the south and 107 Ave to the north, with properties ranging from lovingly preserved heritage homes to tasteful modern infills. Glenora is also home to the Lieutenant Governor's residence and several diplomatic missions, lending the area a refined character unlike anywhere else in the city.
