Living in Century Park, Edmonton: A Renter's Neighbourhood Guide
Century Park has quietly become one of south Edmonton's most convenient places to rent. Transit-oriented planning means you can leave the car at home for the commute and still be minutes from big-box shopping, green space and the Henday. If you're comparing neighbourhoods, here's what daily life looks like from Louvre Residences at 11025 26 Ave NW.
Getting around: the LRT is next door
The biggest reason renters choose Century Park is the Capital Line LRT. Century Park station is steps from Louvre's front door, with a direct line north to Southgate, the University of Alberta and downtown Edmonton, so no transfers on the way to class or the office.
Driving is just as straightforward. You're close to 111 Street and 23 Avenue, and Anthony Henday Drive and Gateway Boulevard connect you to the rest of the city, the QEII Highway and Edmonton International Airport.
Shopping and errands
Century Park puts two of south Edmonton's biggest shopping destinations within easy reach:
- **South Edmonton Common** for groceries, home stores, restaurants and a cinema
- **Southgate Centre**, one LRT ride north, for fashion, dining and services
- Everyday essentials, coffee and quick-service food closer to home around the Century Park area
Green space and fresh air
For a neighbourhood this connected, Century Park is surprisingly green. Within walking or short driving distance you'll find:
- **Blackmud Creek ravine**, with trails that are great for running, dog walks and fall colours
- **Blue Quill Park** and **Ermineskin Park** for open space and play areas
- **Century Bark**, Louvre's own 2.5-acre gated dog park for residents with dogs
- **Students and university staff** who want a direct LRT ride to U of A
- **Downtown commuters** who'd rather read on the train than sit in traffic
- **Professionals working in south Edmonton** near Gateway, South Edmonton Common or the airport
- **Pet owners** who need real outdoor space nearby
- **Families and downsizers** looking for 2 and 3 bedroom rentals in a newer building
Louvre is a seven-storey community built in 2021, centred on a landscaped courtyard with a sculpture inspired by the Louvre Museum in Paris. Residents share a fitness centre with visiting coaches, a yoga and meditation room, a golf and sports simulator, a games room, a library, a hobby room and a kitchen lounge. Inside the suites, you'll find air conditioning, in-suite laundry and private balconies.
