For real estate, Lethbridge is divided up into 3 areas. North, West, and South Lethbridge neighborhoods. West Lethbridge has the University of Lethbridge and is separated from the other two by the Oldman River. North and South Lethbridge are separated by the Crowsnest Highway and the CPR rail line.
South Lethbridge
South is the most popular and the most expensive. Most of the downtown including City Hall is in the South, and so is the hospital. The more expensive newer developments are in the South, near the newly made big box stores like Costco, and Superstore. The South is generally 5-10% more expensive than similar homes in the West or North. Coulee Creek, Fairmont, Tudor Estates, Park Royal, London Road, Prairie Arbor, Sixmile, Southbrook, Henderson, Arbour Ridge, Lakeview, Redwood, Fleetwood, Upper Eastside, Glendale, Victoria Park and Sandstone are areas in South Lethbridge. Lethbridge College is located in the South. All of the hotels in Lethbridge are located in the south.
North Lethbridge
The North side of town has the least expensive homes in Lethbridge, starting at around $200,000. However, the cheaper homes are very old, around 100years (on beautiful tree-lined streets). There are also many high-end homes in the Uplands area. There are a few newer areas in the outskirts of the North called Uplands, BlackWolf and Legacy Ridge. The industrial area is in North Lethbridge. Other areas in North Lethbridge include Majestic Place, Staffordville and Stafford Manor, St Edwards, Senator Buchanon, Westminister, Park Meadows, and Winston Churchill.
West Lethbridge
The Westside was built after the establishment of the University of Lethbridge , so the oldest homes were built in the 70’s. All of the older homes are closer to the University. It is popular with University students, and people who work at the University. There are many parks, walking paths, schools, and churches on the west side. Some people do not like the west side because of the lack of amenities (not too much shopping or dining), and because you have to drive up the West Side hill to get to the West Side. However, that has changed a lot with the addition of the Crossings shopping area. Areas in West Lethbridge include Riverstone, Heritage, Ridgewood, Copperwood, Mountain Heights, University Heights, Indian Battle Heights, West Highlands, Canyon Crest, Paradise Canyon, Country Meadows, Garry Station, The Crossings and Sunridge.
