Much of Edgemont is a northwest extension of Nose Hill, as evidenced by the steep escarpments at the southeast end of the community. The elevated position of Edgemont (1245m at its highest) provides views of the city to the south and the Rocky Mountains to the west.
The community began development in 1978, and was recently completed. It is represented in the Calgary City Council by the Ward 4 councillor.
