Why Move To Bulyea Heights
Bulyea Heights is a quiet, mostly single-family neighbourhood in Edmonton’s Riverbend area, built along the west edge of the Whitemud Creek Ravine. It’s bounded by Whitemud Drive to the north, Terwillegar Drive to the west, Rabbit Hill Road to the south, and the ravine to the east. The name comes from George H. V. Bulyea, Alberta’s first Lieutenant Governor.
The neighbourhood was planned under the 1979 Riverbend Area Structure Plan to keep through-traffic out, so there are only two ways in: Terwillegar Drive at 40 Avenue and Rabbit Hill Road to the south. That means crescents and cul-de-sacs with very little traffic that doesn’t live there, while Whitemud Drive and Terwillegar Drive are still minutes away.
Bulyea Heights tends to suit families moving up into a larger detached home, or established owners who want space, a big yard and ravine trails close by without going to the city’s edge. Homes date mainly from the late 1980s and 1990s, so the housing stock is established but not old, and the trees have had decades to fill in.

What Kind Of Homes Can You Find In Bulyea Heights?
Bulyea Heights is a detached-home neighbourhood first. About nine in ten homes are single-family houses. The rest are duplexes and other attached homes, including townhomes built through the City of Edmonton’s First Place program.
Most houses are two-storey homes and bungalows built between the late 1980s and the late 1990s, often with double attached garages and finished basements, with a few newer homes mixed in. The pricier stock backs directly onto the Whitemud Creek Ravine, where you’re paying for the view and the trail access as much as the square footage.
Because most homes are now 25 to 40 years old, condition varies a lot between listings. Some have been fully renovated with updated kitchens, windows and mechanical systems, while others are close to original and priced accordingly. Roofs, furnaces and hot water tanks are worth a close look at any price point. If you’re considering an attached home in a condominium, check condo fees and reserve fund reports as closely as the unit itself.

Living In Bulyea Heights: What To Expect
Bulyea Heights is a quiet southwest Edmonton neighbourhood that isn’t on the edge of the city. With only two entrances, the streets carry mostly resident traffic, and the Whitemud Creek Ravine runs the full length of the east side.
What you give up is walkability. Groceries, coffee and most errands mean a short drive, and this is a car-first neighbourhood. The people who choose it tend to be happy with that trade.
Shopping & Dining
Day-to-day shopping is close by but mostly just outside the neighbourhood. Riverbend Square covers groceries, a pharmacy, coffee and casual restaurants a few minutes from most addresses. A small commercial strip on Bulyea Road adds a few more services.
For bigger shopping runs, Whitemud Drive puts Southgate Centre and the South Edmonton Common within an easy drive, and Terwillegar Drive connects south to the shops and restaurants around Terwillegar Towne and Windermere.

Bulyea Heights is boxed in by two of southwest Edmonton’s main roads, which is a big part of its convenience. Whitemud Drive runs east–west along the north edge, connecting to West Edmonton Mall, Calgary Trail and Gateway Boulevard. Terwillegar Drive runs north–south along the west side, linking to Anthony Henday Drive for trips across the city or out to the Edmonton International Airport.
ETS buses serve the area, with connections to the Capital Line LRT at Century Park. Check the ETS trip planner for current routes.
Recreation
The Booster Juice Recreation Centre in Terwillegar, still widely known as the Terwillegar Rec Centre, is a short drive south, with a saltwater aquatic centre with a lazy river, wave pool and waterslide, a fitness centre with an indoor running track, four ice sheets, a two-storey indoor playground and a full schedule of programs.
In Rainbow Valley, down in the Whitemud Creek ravine, you’ll find the Snow Valley Ski Club and Aerial Park and the Rainbow Valley Campground. That’s a local ski hill and a summer ropes course minutes from home. Fort Edmonton Park and the Terwillegar Park off-leash area are also close by.
Green Spaces
The Whitemud Creek Ravine is the neighbourhood’s backyard. Trails from Bulyea Heights lead down into the Whitemud Ravine Nature Reserve, with footbridges over the creek and gravel and dirt paths through mature forest.
The reserve trails are for walking only (no bikes, dogs on leash), so they stay quiet. The reserve is home to more than 150 bird species, and other wildlife is often seen. Inside the neighbourhood, a network of green spaces and walkways links the crescents to the school grounds and the ravine edge.
