The Real Estate Market is Great

The Location is Very Convenient
Located just 15 minutes south of Edmonton along Highway 2, Leduc is a neighbour to Edmonton’s airport (1000 Airport Rd, Edmonton International Airport, AB T9E 0V3). This location makes Leduc an easy city to commute from, but also adds a lot of jobs to the area for people looking to work locally.

It has Excellent Amenities
As the city grows in size (and grows in popularity) it continues to gain excellent amenities for locals to take advantage of. One of the most popular, which the City of Leduc calls its “pride” is the Leduc Recreation Centre (4330 Black Gold Dr, Leduc, AB T9E 3C3). The new, state-of-the-art facility offers plenty of options for activities, sports, classes, and more. If you’re buying a house in Leduc, you definitely will be using the Rec Centre.

There are Plenty of Education Options
As the number of families moving to Leduc grows, so do the number of schools, and options for education, in the city. Leduc offers both a Public School Board (Black Gold Regional Division #18, 3rd Floor, 1101 - 5th Street,
Nisku, AB T9E 7N3) and a Catholic School Board (St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic, Separate Regional Division #38, 4906 - 50th Ave., Leduc, AB T9E 6W6).

It's Growing
