Figure is for row homes and apartments combined, all bedroom sizes. CMHC rates its High River vacancy estimate as low reliability, so we don't show it. CMHC's Rental Market Survey covers purpose-built rental buildings (apartments and row homes) with three or more rental units. It doesn't include basement suites, rented houses or condos rented by their owners, and rents in new listings are often higher than these averages. Rent and vacancy figures change; check the source for the latest release.
Commute and getting around
Most people drive. Highway 2 is the main route north to Calgary, and the trip is longer than from Okotoks, so check it at rush hour and in winter. Check the Town of High River website for local and regional transit.
Rental types you'll find
- Detached houses
- Townhouses, duplexes and some apartments
- Suites in houses
- Acreages and farm homes in surrounding Foothills County
What to know before you sign
- High River sits on the Highwood River. Check the address on the Province's Flood Awareness Map, and ask the landlord about the home's flood history and protection.
- Ask whether you'll need overland flood coverage on your tenant insurance, and whether it's available (see insurance basics).
- Ask what's included in the rent, and who handles yard care and snow removal.
- Do the written move-in inspection with the landlord.
For the rules that apply to every Alberta rental, read Alberta tenancy basics and the move-in checklist.
