West Jasper Place is a residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Originally part of the Town of Jasper Place, West Jasper Place became a part of Edmonton when Edmonton and Jasper Place amalgamated on August 17, 1964.
While most of the neighbourhood is residential, there is some commercial development, with most of this adjacent to Stony Plain Road at the neighbourhood's north end. This development includes the Jasper Gates shopping centre.
Note that, during the 1980s and 1990s, Edmonton Transit System buses travelling out to locations west of 170 Street showed a destination of West Jasper Place. This meant a bus route with a destination west of the old Jasper Place townsite, rather than a bus route with the neighbourhood of West Jasper Place as the destination. Bus routes terminating in the old townsite area usually showed a destination of Jasper Place.
The neighbourhood is bounded by 149 Street on the east, 95 Avenue on the south, 156 Street on the west, and Stony Plain Road on the North.
In the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, West Jasper Place had a population of 2,966 living in 1,696 dwellings, a -2.9% change from its 2009 population of 3,055. With a land area of 0.89 km2 (0.34 sq mi), it had a population density of 3,332.6 people/km2 in 2012.
According to the 2005 municipal census, one in five (17.9%) of the population moved into the neighbourhood within the previous 12 months. Another one in four (23.9%) had moved within the previous one to three years. Only two out of every five (42.7%) had lived at the same address for five years or more. This is similar to the city at large.
Just over half (51%) were male and just under half (49%) were female.
According to the 2001 federal census, just under one third (29.4%) of the residential dwellings in the neighbourhood were built prior to the 1964 amalgamation of Jasper Place and Edmonton, with a significant number of those being built prior to the 1945 end of World War II. Approximately half (48.2%) of the residences were built between 1960 and 1980. The remaining 22.4% were built after 1980, with a particular spike in residential construction occurring in a short span during the early 1990s, when one in ten (11.7%) of residences were constructed.
