Peace Country communities named housing growth leaders in Alberta

A trio of communities in the Peace Country are leading the province in housing growth, not including metro regions, according to the Mayor of Grande Prairie.

Between the City of Grande Prairie, the County of Grande Prairie and the MD of Greenview combined there were 579 housing starts in 2025, which is more then a 60 per cent increase from 2024. Officials say that is the highest housing growth rate, and largest net increase in starts among all non-metro regions in the province.

Grande Prairie Mayor, Jackie Clayton said the Grande Prairie and Greenview corridor continues to excel.

“What we are seeing across the Grande Prairie–Greenview Corridor is clear proof that northwestern Alberta continues to lead as an economic powerhouse for the province. Beyond strong industry, this region offers exceptional value, a high quality of life, and real opportunity. Building a career here is an investment in your future and in a community where success and livability go hand in hand.”

Officials added that the corridor is in a good position to support population growth.

Officials add there is plenty of new residential, commercial, and industrial projects already announced or advancing through planning stages.
