Lewis Estates is a master-planned golf course community around a central 18 hole championship golf course. Depending on who you ask, Lewis Estates consists of a number different neighborhoods.
According to the Lewis Estate community league web site, Lewis Estates is made up of Meadowlands, Breckenridge, Potter Greens and Meadowlands Estates. According to the City of Edmonton it consists of Breckenridge Greens, Potter Greens and Suder Greens. If you asked me it’s all rather confusing, but Lewis Estates as a whole is small enough and homogeneous enough to be considered a single neighbourhood in my books.
The area is comprised of newer homes – the oldest being built in the early 90’s – and still has areas under construction. A public golf course winds its way through the subdivision with many homes backing right onto the golf course. There are also some adult condominium style duplexes and some lowrise apartment style condominiums as well.
Lewis Estates was incorporated in 1990 and is located on the western edge of Edmonton. Its boundaries are Stony Plain Road to the north, the Whitemud Freeway to the south, Anthony Henday Drive to the east and 215 St. to the west. Being located next to two main highways means Lewis Estates is very convenient and easy to get to from any part of Edmonton. Directly south of Lewis Estates you’ll find the neighbourhood of Glastonbury (a.k.a. Parkland) and The Hamptons.
Lewis Estates is a popular choice for families, but children will need to be bused to school as there are no schools in the subdivision itself. The closest public schools are Winterburn Elementary (K-9) and Jasper Place High School.
A shopping centre was built in 2006 on the edge of Lewis Estates that includes a large grocery store, a gas station, 3 banks and many other conveniences such as restaurants, a dentist, a chiropractor and even a spa.
There are some initial plans for a recreation facility on the City of Edmonton web site in the Lewis Estates area, but nothing concrete yet.
