Wherever you want to go, Aster is your ticket to a convenient getaway.

Do you like to get outside?

Aster is currently being developed with extensive pedestrian networks that tie in seamlessly to the surrounding communities. Southeast Edmonton has kilometers of walking paths that Aster will connect to, giving you endless options when taking an evening stroll.

As the community develops, more parks, playgrounds, and wetlands will be integrated into the path system, giving you the opportunity to breathe in the surrounding nature while staying close to all the services and amenities that you love.

Appreciate convenience?

There are so many shops and services nearby!

Tamarack Common has a Chalo FreshCo grocery store opening soon, restaurants, banking, auto repair, tutors, and more.

To the west at there’s a Save-on-Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, vet, banking services, medical centre, physiotherapy, and a gas station.

5 minutes to the north you’ll reach Rio Can Meadows, a huge shopping centre with a Wal Mart, Superstore, Best Buy, Winners, and other big box stores.

Everything you need is less than five minutes away!
