Town near Edmonton named one of the best in Alberta to live in
There are plenty of quaint and idyllic small towns around the Edmonton area, and one was just named one of the best Alberta towns to live in.
Money.ca, a Canadian financial news and comparison site, released its 10 Alberta towns it called the best to live in, and one town northwest of Edmonton made the list.
The publication stated that for every Alberta town it considered for this list, it applied a set of criteria to determine if it was worthy of being on the list of best towns to live in.
That criteria included affordability and housing availability, community life, safety, access to essentials, education and healthcare, employment, entertainment and recreation, and transit and accessibility.
With a population nearing 11,000 as of 2024, the Town of Morinville was selected thanks to its “fast becoming a popular place to settle down for people who like being close to Edmonton and St. Albert, but still want to live in a smaller town. The French influence and close-knit community events show why Morinville is a town on the rise,” the publication touted.
