Residential Development
According to the neighbourhood description in the City of Edmonton Map Utility, the neighbourhood was originally subdivided in 1905. A substantial amount of residential construction occurred before the end of World War II.
One residence in eight (12.8%) were constructed, according to the 2001 federal census, before 1946. Seven out of ten (70.6%) were built between 1946 and 1960. The remaining one in six residences (16.5%) were built between 1961 and 1980.
The most common type of residence in the neighbourhood, according to the 2005 municipal census, is the single-family dwelling. These account for four out of every five (79%) of all the residences in the neighbourhood. Almost two out of every five residences (17%) are duplexes. A small proportion of residences (3%) are rented apartments in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories. Two out of every three residences (64%) are owner-occupied with one out of three residences (36%) being rented.

Famous quotes containing the words residential and/or development:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.”
