Adventure-Ready Living: Finding Homes with RV Parking and Triple Garages in Edmonton
RV Parking in Edmonton
For many Edmontonians, the dream home isn’t just about the number of bedrooms—it’s about the size of the “toys” it can accommodate. In 2026, as the “adventure lifestyle” continues to grow in Alberta, properties that offer both a triple car garage and dedicated RV parking have become some of the most sought-after real estate in the city.
Whether you’re a weekend camper, a classic car collector, or someone who just needs the extra shop space, here is how to find and secure these “unicorn” properties in Edmonton today.
1. Top Neighborhoods for Large-Lot Luxury
Triple garages and RV pads require significant lot width, which is why you’ll find the best inventory in these specific pockets of the city:
- Windermere & Ambleside (Southwest): Known for executive builds, many homes here feature oversized triple garages and side-yard access designed specifically for large motorhomes.
- Mayfield & High Park (Northwest): These mature neighborhoods often feature massive lots with rear-lane access. It is common to find older bungalows that have been upgraded with a detached “triple shop” and a reinforced concrete pad for a fifth wheel.
- Cameron Heights: A newer, high-end community where many properties back onto the ravine, offering the spacious lot dimensions needed for three-car front-drive garages.
- Surrounding Acreages: If you need space for a 40-foot coach, looking just outside the city in Sturgeon County or Parkland County offers the “estate” feel with unlimited parking potential.
2. The 2026 Edmonton RV Bylaw Cheat Sheet
Before you buy, you must understand the rules. Edmonton’s 2026 bylaws are clear about where and when you can park your rig:
| Season | Rule | Location |
| April 1 – Oct 31 | Permitted | Can be on a driveway (if 0.6m from sidewalk) or the street (72-hour limit). |
| Nov 1 – March 31 | Restricted | Must be stored in a rear yard, inside a garage, or at an off-site facility. |
| Year-Round | Prohibited | You cannot live in or sleep in an RV parked on a residential property. |
Pro Tip: Look for homes with a gated side yard or rear-lane access. Storing your RV behind your fence line keeps you compliant with winter bylaws and keeps your neighbors happy.
3. What to Look for During a Walkthrough
When viewing a home with “RV Parking” on the listing, don’t just take the photo at face value. Check these three things:
- The Pad Material: An RV can weigh between 10,000 and 30,000 lbs. Look for reinforced concrete or heavy-duty gravel. Asphalt can sometimes “rut” or crack under the weight during hot Edmonton summers.
- The “Swing” Radius: Is the gate wide enough? Is there a power pole or a neighbor’s fence that makes backing in a 30-foot trailer impossible? Always visualize the back-in path.
- Power & Cleanouts: The “gold standard” for RV homes is a 30-amp or 50-amp exterior plug and a dedicated sani-dump cleanout integrated into the home’s sewer line.

Does a triple garage add significant value to a home?
In 2026, a triple garage can add $30,000 to $60,000 to a home’s resale value compared to a double garage. It is one of the highest-ROI upgrades because it is difficult to “add on” later due to lot coverage restrictions.
Can I use a triple garage as a legal suite?
Not automatically. While the space is there, you must meet the City of Edmonton’s Garden Suite bylaws, which include specific rules for heating, windows, and fire separation.
How do I filter my search for these specific features?
Use our IDX search tool and use the “Keywords” filter. Type in “Triple Garage” or “RV Parking.” Because these features are highly desirable, agents almost always include them in the listing remarks.
Should I keep “Empty Terms” ON for this search?
Yes. Homes with this specific combination of features move fast. By keeping “include empty terms” ON, you can see neighborhoods that frequently have these types of lots (like Griesbach), even if one isn’t active today. You can then set an alert for that specific category.
What if the home has a double garage but a huge lot?
In 2026, many buyers are choosing to buy a home with a large lot and building a “detached shop” to create their own triple-car setup. Just ensure you check the site coverage limits for that specific zoning before you buy.
