Fraser is a residential neighbourhood in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is named after John Fraser, an original homesteader in the area and one of the first trustees of the Belmont School. [8]
The neighbourhood is bounded by the North Saskatchewan River and 6 Street to the east, as well as on the south by 144 Avenue.
According to the 2001 federal census, three out of every five (62.6%) residences were constructed during the 1980s. One in five (19.4%) predate the 1980s with most of these being built during the 1970s. The remaining one in five (18.0%) were built during the 1990s. [9]
The most common type of residence, according to the 2005 municipal census, is the single-family dwelling. These account for three out of every five (59%) of all residences. The remaining two out of every five are evenly divided among rented apartments (15%), duplexes [10] (13%) and row houses (13%). The apartments are all in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories. Three out of every four (77%) of all residences are owner-occupied with only one in four (23%) being rented. [11]
The community is represented by the Fraser Community League, established in 1982, which maintains a community hall and outdoor rink located at 21 Street and 147 Avenue. [12] [13]
