Weinlos neighbourhood is located just east of the centre of Mill Woods.  Weinlos began to experience development in
the 1970s but the bulk of development occurred through the 1980s. Low density residential development is the dominant land use in the neighbourhood and single detached homes account for just under 70% of all residential units within the community. Higher density housing is located adjacent to the central school and park site and along the arterial roadway
that forms the eastern border of the neighbourhood.  Weinlos was named after Dr. Morris Weinlos (1902-1980) and Dr. Harry Weinlos (d. 1977) who were prominent surgeons and active members of local arts and humanitarian initiatives within Edmonton. The Weinlos brothers immigrated to Canada from Russia in 1921, obtained advanced medical degrees and practiced medicine in the Edmonton area from the 1930s onwards.
