Figures are for row homes and apartments combined, all bedroom sizes. 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 commuters drive north to Calgary on Highway 2 or Highway 2A. Check the drive at rush hour, especially in winter. Check the Town of Okotoks website for current local transit options and any regional service to Calgary before you rely on them.
Rental types you'll find
- Detached houses, many in newer communities
- Townhouses and duplexes
- Some apartments and condos
- Suites in houses
- Acreages in surrounding Foothills County (see the foothills section of the acreage guide)
What to know before you sign
- Work out the commute at rush hour and in winter.
- If the home is near the river, check the Province's Flood Awareness Map.
- Ask about included appliances, garage access, yard care and snow removal.
- Confirm that any suite is a legal, permitted suite.
- Do the written move-in inspection with the landlord.
