Apartments

Finding, comparing, and renting apartments — best areas, price trends, and what to look for.

Apartments remain the most common rental type across GSK's markets, from Old Strathcona walk-ups to newer builds in Chappelle and southwest Edmonton. The guides in this hub cover what actually differs between apartment buildings beyond square footage — whether heat, water, internet and cable are bundled into rent (a detail that can shift the real monthly cost by $200 or more), how far a building sits from transit, and which neighbourhoods suit a given budget and lifestyle. Because apartment living spans everything from a studio near downtown to a two-bedroom in a quieter suburban building, the right fit depends less on the unit type and more on trade-offs: proximity to work and transit versus space and quiet, or a walkable neighbourhood versus a lower price point further out. Use this hub alongside the Townhomes hub if you're deciding between the two formats, and the city-specific hubs (Edmonton, Calgary, Spruce Grove) if you already know which market you're renting in.
