Red Deer Neighbourhood Guide
Two south Red Deer neighbourhoods with very different housing eras. Explore original Sunnybrook and newer Sunnybrook South with their market figures kept in context.
The neighbourhood
Sunnybrook and Sunnybrook South share a broader south-side location, but they should not be treated as one uniform housing market.
Original Sunnybrook and Sunnybrook South have very different development eras. The 2026 sold sample had a median build year of 1963 in Sunnybrook and approximately 2011 in Sunnybrook South. Subdivision-level comparisons matter when evaluating an individual home.

Combined results for Sunnybrook and Sunnybrook South: detached residential sales closed January 1 through August 31, 2026.
Average sale price: approximately $731,217. Median sold price per sq. ft.: approximately $451. DOM means cumulative days on market. These measures describe the sold sample and should not be applied as a price formula to every home.
2026 By Subdivision
Original Sunnybrook and Sunnybrook South have very different development eras. The 2026 sold sample had a median build year of 1963 in Sunnybrook and approximately 2011 in Sunnybrook South. Subdivision-level comparisons matter when evaluating an individual home.

Housing
Original Sunnybrook reflects an established mid-century housing era, while Sunnybrook South represents much newer development. The combined 2009 median build year reflects the mix of homes sold, not the age of every home across both areas.
Common styles in the 2026 sold sample: Bungalow, 2 Storey, Bi-Level and Modified Bi-Level.
Among these sales, the median year built was 2009; median above-grade living area was 1,485 sq. ft.
A homeowner in original Sunnybrook needs comparisons that reflect the older housing stock, renovation quality and lot. A Sunnybrook South home may compete with newer homes with different layouts and finishes. The combined median alone cannot capture those differences.
Basement development, garage size, lot position and the quality of updates can make two homes with similar above-grade space compete differently.
Parks, Recreation & Location
The City’s maps identify Sunnybrook Neighbourhood Park, Bower Woods and Piper Creek in the surrounding area. The Sunnybrook South map also identifies the Oxbows Off Leash Dog Park and Westerner Natural Area nearby. The most convenient green space depends on the street and subdivision.
Use the official maps to compare a home’s position relative to 40 Avenue, local residential streets and the surrounding park areas.

The combined median is heavily affected by the mix between older Sunnybrook and newer, higher-priced Sunnybrook South. The change from $497,500 to $625,000 does not mean every Sunnybrook home appreciated by that amount. Compare homes within the appropriate subdivision before drawing a conclusion about your property.
