Geography

Located in northwest Edmonton, The Palisades is bounded by a Canadian National (CN) rail line to the west, 137 Avenue to the south, 127 Street to the east, and Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) to the north.[3] The area is bisected by 153 Avenue and 167 Avenue.[3][4]

The Rampart Industrial area is located beyond the CN rail line to the west,[5] while the Wellington neighbourhood is beyond 137 Avenue to the south[4] and the Castle Downs area is beyond 127 Street to the east.[6][7] The future Goodridge Corners neighbourhood is beyond Anthony Henday Drive to the north.[8][9]
