History

Approved by Leduc County Council on September 28, 2010,[3] East Vistas will be an urban community with a population of approximately 22,549 people at full build-out.[2] It currently consists of two existing residential subdivisions – Lukas Estates (formerly Lukas Estates I),[4] an estate residential subdivision, and Diamond Estates (formerly Lukas Estates II),[5] a large lot urban subdivision.[2]

The approval of East Vistas has provided Leduc County the opportunity to develop its own large urban community, similar to how Strathcona County has Sherwood Park.[6]
