About Bellevue, Edmonton
Bellevue is a historic Edmonton neighborhood that began development in 1907 and offers a unique blend of charm and convenience. Nestled just west of Edmonton’s Northlands site, Bellevue saw significant growth before 1950, with single-detached homes defining its character. Although the construction of the Capilano Freeway (now Wayne Gretzky Drive) reduced its size, it remains a sought-after residential area. The community is home to Eastglen High School, serving students from east-central Edmonton, and provides easy access to nearby amenities. True to its name, which may derive from the French term for “beautiful view,” Bellevue boasts breathtaking vistas of the North Saskatchewan River and Edmonton’s downtown skyline. Its prime location atop the river valley offers residents access to scenic trails, parks, and recreational opportunities, making it a desirable choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts. With its rich history, excellent connectivity, and stunning views, Bellevue continues to be a cherished neighborhood in Edmonton.
