Larkspur, Edmonton

Larkspur, Edmonton

Larkspur is a south east residential neighbourhood in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is part of The Meadows area, located just to the east of Mill Woods.

It is bounded on the west by 34 Street, on the east by 17 Street, on the north by Whitemud Drive and on the south by 38 Avenue. Because of curves in the routes followed by Whitemud Drive and 38 Avenue, the neighbourhood's east end is much narrower than its west end.

The neighbourhood includes the Meadowbrook retail area at the southwest corner and a new and larger retail area that is still under development at its east end.

Surrounding residential neighbourhoods are Kiniski Gardens to the west and south west, Wild Rose to the south, and Tamarack to the east and south east. To the north is the South East Industrial subdivision, the north west is the Pylypow Industrial subdivision, and to the north east is the Maple Ridge Industrial subdivision.

Larkspur is a newer neighbourhood with most residential construction occurring between 1985 [http://censusdocs.edmonton.ca/DD23/FEDERAL%202001/Neighbourhood/LARKSPUR.pdf] and 2005. Almost all (98%) of the housing in the neighbourhood is owner occupied, with the most common housing type being single family homes (88%). [http://censusdocs.edmonton.ca/C05002/MUNICIPAL%202005/Neighbourhood/LARKSPUR.pdf] The remaining 12% are duplexes. [Includes triplexes and quadruplexes.] The average number of residents per household is 3.4, with almost half (46%) or households having four or five people.
