Lynnwood is a residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Its location gives residents good access to downtown, the University of Alberta, MacEwan College, and West Edmonton Mall. It became a part of Edmonton when the Town of Jasper Place amalgamated with Edmonton in 1964.
The neighbourhood is bounded on the east by 149 Street (part of which was renamed "Lynnwood Way"), on the south by Whitemud Drive, on the west by 159 Street, and on the north by 87 Avenue.
In the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, Lynnwood had a population of 3,302 living in 1,431 dwellings, a 3.3% change from its 2009 population of 3,197. With a land area of 0.89 km2 (0.34 sq mi), it had a population density of 3,710.1 people/km2 in 2012.
Over half of the homes in the neighbourhood are single-family houses on tree lined streets. On the north side of the neighbourhood diagonally across from the Meadowlark Park Centre is an apartment building complex called Whitehall Square. Situated on the site of the old Starlite Drive-in Theatre, Whitehall Square consists of three towers of 17 stories, as well as eight "walk-ups" with three stories. There is also a "walk-up" apartment block located at the north east corner of the neighbourhood consisting of a basement and two upper floors. Almost all the units in the apartment buildings are rented, as are approximately one out of ten single-family dwellings. The remaining single-family dwellings are owner-occupied.
Approximately 20 percent of Lynnwood residents are under the age of 20. All age groups are well represented in the overall population.
Good Edmonton Transit System bus service provides university students living in the neighbourhood with access to the University of Alberta. The same routes provide access to Whyte Avenue and Old Strathcona. There is also good bus service to both the Centre for the Arts Campus (formerly Jasper Place Campus) and the Downtown Campus of MacEwan College.
