View Listings About NamaoAbout Namao
Namao is a Sturgeon County hamlet whose name comes from the former RCAF Station Namao — a Second World War airfield that eventually became part of CFB Edmonton. The base's north end retains the Namao association, and the hamlet that developed adjacent to it carries the name forward. It's an unusual piece of Edmonton-area history that gives Namao a character distinct from the typical north Edmonton suburban fringe.
The location is straightforwardly practical: immediately north of Edmonton's city limits in Sturgeon County, within the northern commuter zone that includes Morinville and Bon Accord. For buyers who work in north Edmonton — the industrial north, the base, or the QE2 corridor — Namao's Sturgeon County address means lower property taxes on comparable property values, more land per dollar, and the kind of semi-rural residential character that doesn't exist inside the city.
Sturgeon County acreages north of Edmonton have grown in demand as Edmonton's urban expansion pressure continues, and Namao sits in a corridor that captures some of that activity. Properties here range from hamlet residential homes to larger county acreages, with values reflecting the north Edmonton metro fringe rather than the deep rural market.
