City of Spruce Grove

Buying and selling in Spruce Grove

The west-side option, paired with Stony Plain.

Spruce Grove sits on Highway 16 west of Edmonton and functions as part of a tri-municipal region with Stony Plain and Parkland County — the three share recreation facilities and a lot of day-to-day services.

It is the main growth centre on Edmonton's west side, and it draws buyers who work in west Edmonton, in Acheson, or who want a straight run out to Jasper on weekends.
