StreetSide won back-to-back-to-back BILD Edmonton Metro’s Best Multi-Family Builder awards, and now they are introducing the back-to-back townhome to the city that can make owning your own home easier than ever.

StreetSide is introducing this innovative and easily affordable back-to-back two-storey townhome design to the highly desirable communities of Blackmud Creek (SW Edmonton), Marquis Meadows (NE Edmonton), and Summerside (SW Edmonton). And they are destined to be sure-fire hit.

“Starting from just $239,998, these homes present an exceptional opportunity for first-time buyers looking to step into homeownership, as well as investors seeking strong value in a growing market,” says Jacey Todd, StreetSide’s Marketing Lead.

Designed with both style and practicality in mind, these townhomes offer a perfect balance of affordability and elevated living.

“Homeowners won’t have to compromise on quality - each unit features modern finishes, thoughtfully designed layouts, and contemporary design elements that create a comfortable and visually appealing space. From open-concept living areas to efficient use of square footage, every detail is crafted to maximize functionality while maintaining a high-end feel,” Todd explains.

A brand-new showhome is now open #44, 17319, 5th Street where buyers can see for themselves the stylish functionality that StreetSide brings to the back-to-back townhome.

A brilliant opportunity

The back-to-back townhome may just be the opening first-time homebuyers are looking for to enter the market. Especially with the first-time homebuyer GST rebate program now available, the timing couldn’t be better.

Townhomes, in general, are very attractive to anyone looking for a new home as buyers seek practical solutions in a changing market.

“Many people want the benefits of ownership but are also mindful of monthly costs. Townhomes often provide more attainable pricing than detached homes while still offering the same benefits as single family living,” Todd says.

Eligible buyers can qualify under applicable first-time homebuyer GST rebate programs, which can create additional savings depending on price point and buyer qualifications.

The appeal of the back-to-back townhome

The back-to-back townhome is where StreetSide can bring its vaunted blend of functionality and style to the fore while maximizing living space.

These homes range from approximately 740- to 826-square feet and include models such as the Quinn, Mila, Stella, Niva, and Niva II. “They are designed to feel bright, efficient, and comfortable, using every inch of space wisely,” Todd says.

“Their appeal comes from offering homeownership at a lower price point, starting at $239,998 - while still including quality interior finishes and contemporary design. They are especially popular with first-time buyers, investors, and those looking for a simplified lifestyle.”

And even at a low price point, StreetSide still brings in top notch features like vinyl plank flooring, quartz countertops and contemporary cabinetry as standards for each home. “Buyers purchasing early may also have opportunities to personalize interior selections through curated colour board packages and upgrade options,” Todd says.

Additionally, StreetSide’s back-to-back townhomes are built with flexibility in mind.

Most include dedicated parking stalls, while layouts vary by model and community. Many also offer basement development opportunities, giving buyers the ability to expand their living space in the future.

They are currently available in the communities of Blackmud Creek, Ara at Summerside, and Marquis Meadows. StreetSide will be releasing more back-to-back townhomes in Michner Park and Inglewood next month, she adds.

The Mila showhome

Buyers can check out the newly opened Mila showhome in Marquis Meadows to see how the back-to-back townhome can fit their lifestyle.

“The Mila has captured the heart of our buyers for its charming vintage cottage feel, proving that a smaller footprint can still feel spacious and full of personality. The design vision focused on getting creative with the space and showing buyers how thoughtful styling can completely transform a home without overspending,” Todd says.

“Visitors consistently comment on how much larger the home feels than expected, along with how welcoming, practical, and easy the ideas are to recreate in their own space.”

An award-winning brand

StreetSide is one of Alberta’s best-known builders of townhomes and they have the awards to prove it, winning the BILD EM Award of Excellence for Multi-Family Builder of the Year three years in a row from 2023 to 2026.

“Recognition of this level is made possible through the combined efforts of every department, from planning and architecture to construction, customer care, sales, and marketing. It speaks to a team focused on creating homes that are functional, stylish, and aligned with how people live today,” Todd says.

“For buyers, choosing an award-winning builder offers added confidence. It means purchasing from a company with a proven track record, strong reputation, and a continued commitment to raising the standard in Edmonton’s multi-family market.” Find out more at streetsideedmonton.com.
