The Uplands is bounded on the north by Edgemont, northeast by Anthony Henday Drive, east by the North Saskatchewan River valley, southeast by River's Edge, southwest by Stillwater, and west by the Enoch Cree Nation's reserve.[1][5]

The five future neighbourhoods in Riverview were originally named by Edmonton's Naming Committee on June 25, 2015, with Riverview Neighbourhood 1 being named Balsam Woods.[6] The developers of Balsam Woods and two other adjacent future neighbourhoods subsequently appealed three of neighbourhood names to City Council's Executive Committee.[7] The Executive Committee overturned the naming decisions for the three neighbourhoods and Balsam Woods was renamed The Uplands.[8]
