Waterways, Fort McMurray

Waterways fits buyers who want a small, older neighbourhood near downtown and the river.

Waterways was hit hard in the 2016 fire, so homes can be very different ages. Ask the build year and what was rebuilt.

Planning numbers only. Confirm live rates, legal fees, and Matrix before you decide.

Updated by Will Clarke, RE/MAX Connect.

Ask the build year and what was updated.

Ask about the garage, heat, water, and septic where it applies.

Will pulls solds from this area first. No borrowing numbers from another part of town.

About Waterways

Small on purpose

The region's emergency plan counts about 23 people in Waterways who would need a bus out, which it says is about 10 percent of the area. That makes it one of the smallest neighbourhoods in town.

Know your way out

The plan sends traffic down McCormick Drive to Tolen Drive, then Highway 63. The backup runs McCormick Drive or Park Street to Saline Creek Parkway, then Prairie Loop Boulevard to Highway 63.

The 2016 fire

Abasand, Beacon Hill, and Waterways took the heaviest damage in the 2016 wildfire. Ask the build year on every listing.

Waterways questions

How do you get out of Waterways in an emergency?
