Akinsdale is a mid-size neighbourhood that sits on the outer border of St. Albert. Although there is a healthy mix of apartments, duplexes, townhouses and condos to choose among, single-family homes (built mainly in the 1970s and 1980s) form the bulk of the residential real estate.
The majority of Akinsdale features low-density residential lots interspaced with plenty of green space and large public parks. The Jarome Iginla / Kinex Arenas provide plenty of indoor space for skating, hockey and lacrosse. Children and youth have easy access to a public elementary, French immersion elementary and a junior high school. Commercial services are concentrated on the southern edge of the neighbourhood.
