Goal

St. Albert accommodates a full and balanced mix of housing choices, meeting the needs of everyone, at all stages of life.

To create an inclusive community for St. Albertans at all life stages, income levels, and lifestyles, a range of housing types and tenures is essential. Flourish prioritizes an increase in the variety of housing types, as a way to accommodate the diverse needs of existing and future residents.

Historically, housing in St. Albert has been dominated by low-density, detached homes. An increasing variety of housing types, such as townhomes and apartment buildings, has emerged in the city in more recent years. As the city grows, a variety of housing options in appropriate locations is needed to meet the increasingly diverse needs and preferences of citizens. This includes seniors who are downsizing, those with unique housing needs, younger individuals and families seeking affordable starter homes, and newcomers to Canada. The principles and policies in this section support a variety of housing options for St. Albertans.
