Renovation for homes in Forest Heights
Mid-century bungalows with mature yards make up most of the area, some on the slopes above the valley.
1950s and 60s bungalows are a favourite for full renovations: opening up the kitchen, finishing the basement or adding a second storey. Load-bearing walls and old wiring are the usual planning points.
Lots near the top of the river valley bank can come with extra City rules for additions, so check early before you plan.
On some lots a garden suite can go above or beside a detached garage, with City approval.
Many owners are redoing basements that were finished decades ago, often down to the studs.

Seasonal tip for Edmonton
