About Westmount
Where to stay in Westmount
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Proximity is the point. Westmount sits close to the downtown core of Edmonton, so a stay in these central-west streets keeps the city within reach while the nights stay residential rather than commercial. Government House and the Ravina Apartments are the names to walk to.
If a hotel desk matters more than a house-lined block, the downtown core is the shorter search, and Westmount becomes the quieter alternative.
About Westmount
What are the main landmarks in Westmount?
Houses are the monuments here. Westmount carries Government House and the Ravina Apartments alongside a long row of named residences, the Charles Barker Residence, the Wells Residence, the Wallbridge Residence and the Gibbons Residence among them. The Chandler Residence and Barn and Carriage House keeps its outbuildings in the name.
Others record the households that built them, from the Ellen Elliot Residence to the Marshall Hopkins Residence and the Duncan Cameron Residence.
What is the history of Westmount?
Edmonton records no start date for Westmount. What Westmount has instead is a register of houses, the Hartley Residence, the Munroe Residence, the Bashor Residence and the William O'Leary Residence among them, each carrying a household surname into the present. Government House stands apart from that domestic list.
The neighbourhood settled into Edmonton as an established residential district, and Alberta still lists those houses by name.
Where is Westmount?
Westmount lies in central-west Edmonton, close to the downtown core, and its blocks stay residential where the core does not.
