The View
Possibly the best location in the city! Just east of the Edmonton Conference Centre by little over a block is a gem of a building with such a great view of the actual North Saskatchewan River [closer in reality than the panoramic photo depicts] and downtown that is called The View. The view is so awesome, you get can watch Crashed Ice, FISE (and the first Flatland BMX UCI World Cup), Dragon Boat races and other wonderful activities from the condo.
The furnished condo is 4 minutes from the Hotel MacDonald, 3 minutes from City Hall and 2 minutes from Telus Plaza. You can get to the University of Alberta Hospital within 9 minutes. Northlands is 7 minutes away.
A new study by Queen Mary University has shown that living next to heavy traffic such as in downtown causes hearts to swell. Fortunately, the vast treed river valley and trails with recreational amenities as the backyard and backdrop to our condo plus the garden in the courtyard is good for the heart, lungs and mental well being. Natural sunlight and air can flow through both north and south ends of the condo.
The air conditioned open concept 1220 sq ft condo with a 10 foot ceiling was professionally designed with upgrades to the architectural lighting, hardwood flooring, granite countertops throughout, custom cabinetry, efficient bathroom layout, a massive kitchen island, under counter lighting, a Panasonic Inverted (patented) microwave, built in oven, Dishdrawer, garburator, water filter, multi-speed stove fan, tiling that is stimulating on the feet, a steam with thermostatic controlled hand massage (8 settings) rain shower (3 settings), BainUltra herapeutic bath, washer and dryer and more. Our steam shower enclosure enables you to dry off without getting chilled and dumping humidity into the bathroom fogging up the mirrors.
The condo has structured wiring throughout in addition to wireless N. The living room has a large Samsung widescreen TV and leather furniture.
In all the closets, the storage system is adjustable and has been upgraded for maximum usability. It sleeps up to 4 or 6 with the memory foam sofabed. You have a choice of a comfortable and seamless pillowtop king size bed or 2 XL twin beds in addition to a queen size bed. There are two sofas in the living room, one being a sofabed with memory foam.
Some people love the view in this non-smoking condo so much, they move the kitchen table into the living room. Others choose to eat in the traditional dining area and may open the expandable table to accommodate 6 people from the cozier 4 person setting.
Linen, dinnerware, cutlery, bedding and utilities are included. Outside maintenance is taken care of: There is no snow to shovel, grass to mow or water. There is no need to be bothered with the garbage collection schedule.
There is a special Christmas tree that looks attractive all year round.
Parking underground is heated and secured. Extra parking can be found on the street and there are visitor parking stalls.
2 childrens' parks, a outdoor rink and community hall is a 5 minute walk. A Catholic church is across the street. An ethnic, vegetarian and one of the finest restaurants are 2 blocks away. As fun and busy is the community around the condo, the unit is intended for rest and relaxation.

In 2015, National Geographic has named Edmonton as one of the best summer trips for its international events and Edmonton's river valley is highlighted as Alberta city's best draws.
AKA the River of Green, the River Valley that is is 22x larger than NYC's Central Park constitutes the longest stretch of connected urban parkland in N. America. Athletes and those who attempt to be take advantage of the valley to run, jog, walk, hike, cycle, rollerblade through the paved and unpaved paths. You can even take a guided Segway tour (rated #1 Activity & Tour in Edmonton by TripAdvisor) starting right below the condo through the river valley year round, the only way you can travel on a Segway publicly outdoors in Edmonton and the first on public land in Canada. It starts and ends at Louise McKinney Park 4x/day, 3 seasons a year, for groups as small as 2 and even single riders if you ask. In the river valley and downtown, festivals and other activities are abundant during the summer. Walk through the rose garden and have a picnic at a picnic table or on the other side of the river by means of the pedestrian bridge where you can have a BBQ. Tai Chi in the Chinese Garden or do yoga in the park below. There is easy access right down to the river's edge using the freshly cut lawn, paved walkways, wooden stairs or funicular.
Here are activities you can do in winter
You can watch the Riverboat launch in the river or watch the Dragon Boat racers practice throughout the summer in the river and even the race itself from start to finish from the comfort of the unit. Other sightings are power boats, jet skis, canoes, and the silly Sourdough Raft Race. Often you can see fireworks from Telus Field, always from Capital Ex and practically all the others throughout Edmonton on Canada Day from the condo. Tour of Alberta as riders pick up speed on Grierson Road can be seen from the balcony. You can see the forest from the trees when it comes to the view of downtown from the condo.

All of this including concerts, the Dragon Boat Races and the Chinese Garden can be seen from the condo. Riverside and Victoria Golf Courses are 1.4 and 3.2kms away respectively.n
