View Listings About EntwistleAbout Entwistle
Entwistle sits in the Pembina River valley in Parkland County, about 80 kilometres west of Edmonton on the Yellowhead Highway. It's a small community in a natural setting that's more interesting than the flat prairie suggests from the highway — the Pembina River cuts a green corridor through the surrounding agricultural land, providing a sheltered valley character that gives Entwistle its quiet appeal.
For buyers, Entwistle offers one of the better combinations of Edmonton accessibility and rural affordability in the west Edmonton commuter zone. Parkland County property values are considerably lower than anything inside Edmonton's boundaries, and the Yellowhead Highway keeps the city within reach for work, services, and weekend activities. The lake country to the north — Wabamun, Lac Ste. Anne — is easily accessible from here.
The community is genuinely small and genuinely quiet. Buyers who choose Entwistle are typically making a deliberate choice: river valley character, agricultural land surroundings, and Parkland County pricing over urban convenience. Those who make that trade tend to find it worth it.
