Hi, I haven't lived in Edmonton for a number of years now, but it is a nice city.  The newer areas are all around the edges of the city. I personally always lived on the south side of the river, and really there are no "bad" areas that I can think of.  Some older definitely, but still safe neighborhoods.   Avoid ,Cromdale. Beverly  and areas around 118th avenue, and inner city  ( 93rd - 98th st), as they tend to attract a rougher population ( although that is a generalization).  The exception would be Riverdale which is a lovely little community near the river.   University area is popular this includes 82nd Ave also known as Whyte ave. which is a trendy area.
