The problem with the "desirability" isn't the real thing going on in Edmonton. It's employment centres are spread out. Some of that comes down to geographical reality due to a large river valley. Some of that is due to how the railroads were built in Edmonton. Some of that is down to simple necessity of having chemical factories nowhere near the city centre. People come to Edmonton, find work in spread out places and they realise that they have lots of options to live. One might expect a transportation crisis with it being spread out, but that simple means people live closer to their work.
Desirability of a city centre is a hobby horse of this website, but it doesn't answer the question of why house prices are so low in Edmonton.
