View Listings About WesteroseAbout Westerose
Westerose is Pigeon Lake's western shore — the side of the lake that sees the afternoon sun and the evening light play across the water in ways that the eastern shore can only watch from a distance. The hamlet sits in Wetaskiwin County, approximately 90 kilometres south of Edmonton, in what is genuinely Alberta cottage country: a region of lakes, summer communities, and seasonal properties that Edmonton and central Alberta families have been returning to for generations.
Pigeon Lake itself is one of Alberta's larger lakes and one of the most popular for recreational use — boating, fishing, summer swimming, and the kind of slow lakeside rhythm that is increasingly hard to find near a major city. The western shore at Westerose is quieter than the more developed eastern communities like Ma-Me-O Beach and Pigeon Lake Village, which gives the hamlet a character that suits buyers who want the lake experience without the peak-season intensity that follows the crowds to the opposite shore.
For buyers, Westerose offers Pigeon Lake access at Wetaskiwin County prices — which tend to be more modest than the comparable eastern-shore properties that attract more traffic. Seasonal cottages, year-round lake homes, and lake-access properties define the market here. Whether you're looking for a summer retreat, a year-round lakeside life, or something in between, Westerose gives you the same Pigeon Lake water with a somewhat quieter approach to it.
