Development of Newton, according to the 2001 federal census, began prior to the end of World War II when roughly one in twelve (8.8%) of residences were built. Just under half of the residences (45.8%) were built during the first fifteen years following the end of the war, that is, between 1946 and 1960. One in six residences (15.4%) were constructed during the 1970s and another one in six (18.0%) were constructed during the 1980s. The remaining residences were all constructed after 1990.[7]
The most common type of dwelling in Newton, accounting for seven out of every eight (88%) of residences according to the 2005 municipal census, is the single-family dwelling. Another 7% are rented apartments and apartment style condominiums in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories. Almost all of the remaining structures (4%) are duplexes.[8] Four out of five (79%) of residences are owner-occupied.
Schools
St. Leo Catholic Elementary School, operated by the Edmonton Catholic School System, is the only active school in the neighbourhood. Newton Elementary School, founded in 1955, was closed by the Edmonton Public School Board at the end of the 2006/07 school year, due in part to declining attendance.[9][10]
