This was an interesting mall that I went to 8 years ago. I enjoyed the mall a lot, It is big and has a lot of interesting stores inside and was one of the dream trips that I wanted to go to. Edmonton is such a fun place that I did not get to see the whole mall. I would recommend this mall to anyone! Also give yourself at least a week or longer, that is how big this mall is!

@SEAN,
PS – re part two, the area to the north of the mall along 170th Street and 178th Street are jammed with supermarkets and box stores, and about 5 blocks away is a power center called Mayfield Commons.

@SEAN,
Check out Google Earth, satellite view of west side Edmonton – you will get a feel for the area. The apartments are mostly low-rise (3-4 floors) and townhouses and are now sort of ‘tired’. The city has sprawled south and further west and that’s where the newer, nicer places are. WEM has a (bus) transit terminal and dozens of bus routes file into the mall, so many areas are only 5-10 mins away from the mall even by bus. I hate the mall parking garages as they are dark and dingy, although crime is not an issue here.

In a true mallrat spirit, I actually drove to Edmonton on my own JUST to visit this mall. I spent two days just walking around. Turns out, Edmonton is an amazing city. People were friendly, it was clean, and there were a lot of parks. I would recommend this city to anyone.

@Dizzy,

A few questions… first where are those rental apartments in relation to WEM, are they across the street or a few blocks away. Are they large complexes or of verrying types of heights & styles. Second, what else is in the general neighborhood in terms of supermarkets , other local businesses & employment centers.

Just trying to get a feel for the area around the mall. A directory doesn’t tell the whole story.

Thanks.

@SEAN, There’s a LOT of residental rental units around the mall from a property management company named Boardwalk. They’re pretty decent people do deal with.
