Development began in 1978 and is set amid beautiful rolling hills and lush ravines in the city's northwest, Edgemont offers the outstanding amenities of a carefully-planned, well-established community. Edgemont is located in the northwest sector of the city, north of the community of Dalhousie and bounded by John Laurie Boulevard to the south, Sarcee Trail to the west, Country Hills Boulevard to the north and Shaganappi Trail to the east. Much of Edgemont is a northwest extension of Nose Hill, as evidenced by the steep escarpments at the southeast end of the community. The elevation of Edgemont provides for views of the city and the mountains in the distance.
