Westridge is a long, narrow neighbourhood extending into the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Patricia Ravine is to the north and Wolf Willow Ravine is to the south. Proximity to, and integration with, these two ravines is one of the defining features of the neighbourhood, and there is good access to the North Saskatchewan River Valley system. 

The western boundary of the neighbourhood is 170 Street, which also provides the only entrance point into the neighbourhood. The majority of the development in Westridge occurred during the 1970s. Single-detached houses are the dominant structure type and account for almost all the total dwelling units, along with a limited number of dwellings in row houses. 

Westridge Park and a community league are located in the centre of the neighbourhood, and there are schools in surrounding communities. Interior road design is curvilinear roads and keyhole crescents, and a number of pathways promote pedestrian travel through the neighbourhood. 

Westridge Park and a community league are centrally located in the neighbourhood. Prior to urban development the Westridge area was home to Wolf Willow Farm, after which the main collector road that runs through the neighbourhood was named. To further honour the former farm, all of the street names in the neighbourhood begin with the letter “W,” and many incorporate “wolf” or “willow.”
