Good to know that another fellow Indian is coming to Edmonton, I think you'll love the city! I think you should use kijiji.ca to look for apartments in your price range in the SW/SE part of Edmonton. The Millwoods area in the south is lively and vibrant and has lot of Indians. I would avoid the north and downtown areas! There is a lot of immigration happening in Edmonton because the oil boom, and the community is extremely welcoming and school system is fantastic. Other than the odd DUI / car break in, there is not much crime in South West + South East Edmonton. When it comes to renting an apartment, prices in the city are much better here than in Calgary or other similar sized cities in Canada - just make to factor in the cost of heat since winters in Edmonton are cold!
