Southeast Edmonton Real Estate:
Community of Tawa
Tawa, situated in Southeast Edmonton, was established in the 1990s. Most of this amenity-friendly community consists of commercial and park development, with residential opportunities located along the neighbourhood’s outskirts. As a nod to Mill Woods’ Metis-Cree roots, Tawa means “you are welcome” in Cree. The land comprising Mill Woods was part of the Cree Papaschase Reserve, until the late 19th century.
