Top 7 Rental Buildings Near Major Hospitals in Calgary

Looking for a rental near a Calgary hospital? This guide compares seven buildings using owner-stated drive times, public transit connections, and neighbourhood proximity to Foothills Medical Centre, Alberta Children’s Hospital, Peter Lougheed Centre, Rockyview General Hospital, and South Health Campus. Every rent below is a starting asking rent that an owner displayed on September 28, 2026, so treat it as a place to begin, not a quote.

Which apartments are closest to Foothills Medical Centre and Alberta Children’s Hospital?

Foothills Medical Centre is at 1403 29 St NW, according to Alberta Health Services (AHS), and AHS lists Alberta Children’s Hospital at 28 Oki Dr NW, in the same part of northwest Calgary. Two of the seven buildings in this guide sit on the northwest side: University Pointe in Brentwood and Patrician Village in University Heights. Neither owner states a distance to a hospital, and Patrician Village’s owner does not mention one at all, so the commute test is a trip planner, not a promise.

For University Pointe, the link to Foothills is MAX Orange. Calgary Transit’s MAX page says the route runs from Brentwood to Saddletowne and serves major destinations including Foothills Medical Centre and the University of Calgary. Calgary Transit’s fall service changes, effective August 31, 2026, added school trips to MAX Orange.

University Pointe: Brentwood LRT a block away

University Pointe (3023 and 3027 Blakiston Dr NW) is a Mainstreet building where the owner says, on its University Pointe page, “The Brentwood LRT station is only a block away!” As of September 28, 2026, one-bedrooms start at $1,275 with heat and water included, pets are welcome with a $25 pet fee, and the owner advertises up to two months free on select suites for new applicants. Brentwood is where MAX Orange begins, so a Foothills trip is one route away, though the ride time needs checking in a planner.

Patrician Village: a neighbourhood that borders both hospitals

Boardwalk lists Patrician Village at 1919 University Dr NW in University Heights. The owner’s page does not mention a hospital, so this is a possible nearby option based on its University Heights location, but the commute has not been measured; University Heights is generally described as bordering the University of Calgary, Alberta Children’s Hospital, and Foothills Hospital. A shared border is not a walking time, so check the route from the building’s address. On September 28, 2026, the one-bedroom basement suite started at $1,289, and the standard one-bedroom, currently on a waitlist, at $1,369, with heat and water included, a fitness room, and cats and dogs welcome. Several other suites were also waitlisted that day, so ask what is available now.

Which rental building suits the Peter Lougheed Centre?

Peter Lougheed Centre is at 3500 26 Ave NE, and AHS describes it as “on major bus route” with a 24-hour emergency department. The building in this guide with an owner-stated drive time is Pineridge Greene, a CAPREIT rental in the Northeast.

Pineridge Greene: seven minutes by car, per the owner

CAPREIT’s Pineridge Greene page (5300 Rundlehorn Dr NE) says, “The Peter Lougheed Hospital and Sunridge Shopping Centre are a short 7min drive away.” On September 28, 2026, one-bedrooms were listed at $1,325 to $1,395, available immediately, and two-bedrooms from $1,625 for November 1, 2026, with heat and water included. Dogs and cats are allowed, but only certain dog breeds are accepted. Without a car, Calgary Transit lists Peter Lougheed Centre as a MAX Orange destination, so ask the trip planner for a route from the building’s address.

Where can Rockyview General Hospital staff and families rent?

Rockyview General Hospital is at 7007 14 St SW, according to AHS, and Calgary Transit lists it as a stop on MAX Teal and MAX Yellow. Three buildings fit: Chinook Place and Glenmore Heights, where the owners name the hospital, and Haddon Arms, which is a train-then-MAX route.

Chinook Place: six-minute drive, per the owner

Chinook Place (626 57 Ave SW) is a Mainstreet building where the owner’s page says “Six-minute drive to Rockyview General Hospital” and “just steps from the Chinook LRT station.” As of September 28, 2026, one-bedrooms start at $1,325 and two-bedrooms at $1,525, with heat and water included and pets welcome. The page also shows a 2.5 months free promotion, so ask which suites qualify, and says the building rarely has availability.

Haddon Arms: Heritage station, then MAX Teal

Haddon Arms (50 Haddon Rd SW) is a Mainstreet building in Haysboro. The owner describes a short walk to Heritage LRT station, and does not mention a hospital. Wikipedia’s MAX Teal entry lists both Heritage and Rockyview Hospital as stops on the same route, so the trip involves a short walk to Heritage Station, followed by MAX Teal to Rockyview General Hospital. One-bedrooms started at $1,349 with electricity, heat, and water all included.

Glenmore Heights: “easy access” to Rockyview

Avenue Living’s Glenmore Heights (620 67 Ave SW) promises “Easy access to Rockyview General Hospital” but gives no drive time. On September 28, 2026, a bachelor started at $1,186 and a one-bedroom at $1,525, with heat and water included, a fitness centre, a social room, and a resident library. Up to two pets are welcome at $30 a month each. This is the priciest of the Rockyview options, so it suits renters who want on-site amenities more than the lowest rent.

Which apartments are near South Health Campus?

South Health Campus is at 4448 Front St SE, according to AHS, and Wikipedia notes that the campus sits in Seton, a Southeast Calgary community. The one building here with an owner-stated hospital link is Soho at Seton, which is also the priciest of the seven.

Soho at Seton: “close to” the hospital, per the owner

Avenue Living’s Soho at Seton (15220 45 St SE) is described as “Close to South Health Campus Hospital,” with no distance given. On September 28, 2026, one-bedrooms started at $1,655 and two-bedrooms at $1,755, with heat and water included, in-suite laundry, underground parking, and pets welcome at $30 a month each. The owner mentions public transit and future LRT access, so check current bus service in the trip planner before you sign.

Did Calgary rents fall in September 2026, and where?

Yes. In liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report, the average unfurnished one-bedroom in Calgary moved from $1,465 in August to $1,442 in September, and the Northeast posted the largest month-over-month decrease in unfurnished one-bedroom asking rent among the city’s quadrants. Peter Lougheed Centre is in the Northeast, which also had the quadrant with Calgary’s lowest average unfurnished one-bedroom rent in September 2026, at $1,268.

The same report puts the Southwest highest at $1,521 (Rockyview General has a Southwest address) and shows the Southeast as the only quadrant where unfurnished one-bedroom rent rose month over month (South Health Campus has a Southeast address). The city average was down 5.3% from September 2025. These are asking-rent averages across the city, not what any one building charges, and the report counts current listings under $5,000 and leaves out rooms and shared accommodation. If price is your first filter, see our guide to affordable rental buildings in Calgary.

How do the seven buildings compare?

The seven buildings run from $1,275 to $1,655 for a starting one-bedroom, and all include heat and water. Against liv.rent’s $1,442 city average for an unfurnished one-bedroom in September 2026, University Pointe starts $167 lower and Soho at Seton starts $213 higher, though a starting price is not an average.

Building	Hospital	Owner-stated or route link	One-bedroom from (September 28, 2026)	Utilities included
University Pointe	Foothills	Brentwood LRT a block away; MAX Orange	$1,275	Heat, water
Patrician Village	Foothills, Alberta Children’s	No owner claim; University Heights borders both	$1,289 (basement suite)	Heat, water
Pineridge Greene	Peter Lougheed Centre	Seven-minute drive	$1,325 to $1,395	Heat, water
Chinook Place	Rockyview General	Six-minute drive; Chinook LRT	$1,325	Heat, water
Haddon Arms	Rockyview General	Heritage LRT, then MAX Teal	$1,349	Electricity, heat, water
Glenmore Heights	Rockyview General	“Easy access”	$1,525	Heat, water
Soho at Seton	South Health Campus	“Close to” the hospital	$1,655	Heat, water

Drive times are the owners’ own statements. Where a row names a route or neighbourhood link, it comes from Calgary Transit or Wikipedia and has not been timed.

How do you check a hospital commute for early or overnight shifts?

Run Calgary Transit’s trip planner from the building’s address to the hospital at your actual shift start and end times, on a weekday and a weekend. Owner drive times such as six or seven minutes are single figures with no time of day attached, so they say little about a 6 a.m. start or a midnight finish.

Schedules also change. Calgary Transit’s fall changes took effect August 31, 2026, and adjusted weekend trip times and frequency on MAX Yellow, one of the two MAX routes that stops at Rockyview. For drivers and family visitors, as of the AHS public parking page‘s April 3, 2025 update, Foothills listed $2.50 per half hour and $15 per 24 hours, with weekly and monthly passes of $42 and $74 that need authorization from a nursing unit or social worker; the page has not been updated since, so confirm current rates before visiting. Staff parking is a separate arrangement, so confirm it with your employer. If your hospital is in Edmonton, see our guide to rental buildings near major hospitals in Edmonton.

What should Alberta renters know before signing near a hospital?

Alberta does not cap rent increases, so a low starting rent can change. In a monthly periodic tenancy, a landlord must give at least three full tenancy months’ written notice of an increase, and rent cannot rise until 365 days after the tenancy began or the last increase, whichever is later, according to Service Alberta’s rent increase guidance. If the 365th day falls inside a fixed term, the increase waits until the term ends. This is general information, not legal advice.

Health-care workers on a contract or rotation can ask each landlord whether a fixed or month-to-month term fits the job. Read our guide to rent deposits in Alberta before you pay anything, and browse verified Calgary rental listings on liv.rent or the monthly rent reports for the latest averages.

Featured on liv.rent

Four more liv.rent buildings have Seton addresses, the community that Wikipedia says holds South Health Campus. That is a community-level match, not a measured distance, and owner rents, amenities, and distances were not checked, so confirm each on a map before you count on a short trip.

The four are 4350 Seton Dr SE, 4250 Seton Dr SE, Seton Park Place II at 4150 Seton Dr SE, and 20 Seton Park SE.

Which apartments are closest to Foothills Medical Centre?

No owner in this guide states a distance to Foothills Medical Centre at 1403 29 St NW. University Pointe in Brentwood has Brentwood LRT a block away per Mainstreet, and MAX Orange starts at Brentwood. Patrician Village is in University Heights, generally described as bordering Foothills and Alberta Children’s, though its owner names no hospital. Test each address in Calgary Transit’s trip planner.

Is there a direct bus from Brentwood to Foothills Medical Centre?

Calgary Transit says MAX Orange runs from Brentwood to Saddletowne and serves major destinations including Foothills Medical Centre and the University of Calgary. Ride time depends on the hour, so check the trip planner for your shift times. Calgary Transit’s fall service changes, effective August 31, 2026, added school trips to MAX Orange.

Which rental building is near the Peter Lougheed Centre?
