Hi all,

I am planning to land in Calgary with my family in April 2015.

Where is the best place to stay in Northwest Calgary for a family of 4? Where can one stay in terms of cheap house rent? Condos, townhomes, basements or apartments.


Cheers,
Kit01

Does it have to be NW? It's seems to me that this poster had been looking for a tenant since last October:

In the northwest, West Hillhurst, Sunnyside, Tuscany, Edgemont, Country Hills, Dalhousie and Rosedale are all pleasant, popular neighbourhoods. Ranchland, Hawkwood and Edgemont are the localities in which there is a slight presence of South Asians and Arabs. Kensington offers an eclectic mix of cafes, pubs, bistros, boutiques, arts and crafts shops. It's generally a fun place to hang out for a few hours and just a short walk from downtown.

Basements are the cheapest.

Hello everyone,

Is there any impact in the house rents (basement/condos) specially for the new comers? Will it be cheaper as there is economic slowdown in Calgary due to low oil price?
