Housing
Finding an affordable place to live will be one of the first things on your to-do list when you arrive in Alberta. Our communities offer many types of housing with a wide range of prices and lifestyle choices.
You may choose to live in a single family dwelling in small city or an apartment in downtown Calgary, a townhouse in the heart of Edmonton, or a furnished suite in a small town. The possibilities for your first Alberta home are almost endless.
No matter what you choose, you will have the option of renting your home on a monthly basis or purchasing it outright, usually with the help of a mortgage.
Finding a suitable home takes time. You will want to start searching for one before you arrive by asking friends and contacts that live here and by searching the Internet. When you do find your home, it will be a very rewarding experience.
