At the time of writing, Southeast Calgary has the cheapest average rent prices in terms of one-bedroom furnished and unfurnished units. It&#8217;s important to note that this merely reflects an average and is subject to change based on supply and demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing where to rent in Calgary, it&#8217;s important to take into account proximity to work and school, amenities, and overall vibe to find a perfect fit with your lifestyle. Below, we&#8217;ve ranked the top 5 cheapest areas to rent in as well as compared some key attributes of each quadrant to help renters make informed decisions about where in the city they&#8217;ll move to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--\n  Reusable Buildings Block - By Building URLs\n  ---------------------------------------------------\n  This block takes full liv.rent building URLs, pulls the numeric id\n  out of each one for the GraphQL query, and links the card straight\n  back to the URL you pasted, so the pretty slug is always the one you\n  supplied.\n\n  To change which buildings appear, edit BUILDING_URLS in the script\n  below. Everything else (title, footer link, wording) is in the CONFIG\n  object next to it. Anything from 1 to 10 buildings renders; the grid\n  reflows on its own.\n\n  Note: the building record itself is what drives the card, so a building\n  with nothing currently for rent still renders (it just shows no price).\n  Only an id that does not exist at all is skipped, with a console warning.\n-->\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  .liv-buildings.liv-buildings,\n  .liv-buildings.liv-buildings * {\n    box-sizing: border-box !important;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    padding: 0 !important;\n    font-family: Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;\n    font-style: normal !important;\n    line-height: 1.4 !important;\n    letter-spacing: normal !important;\n    word-spacing: normal !important;\n    text-transform: none !important;\n    text-indent: 0 !important;\n    text-align: left !important;\n    text-shadow: none !important;\n    float: none !important;\n    list-style: none !important;\n  }\n\n  \/* ---------- Block ---------- *\/\n  .liv-buildings.liv-buildings {\n    display: block !important;\n    max-width: 1094px;\n    margin: 40px auto !important;\n    padding: 32px 0 !important;\n    border-top: 1px solid #eaecf1;\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #eaecf1;\n    background: none;\n    font-size: 13px !important;\n    color: #0e131b !important;\n    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\n    container-type: inline-size;\n    container-name: livbuildings;\n  }\n\n  .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__title {\n    display: block !important;\n    font-size: 24px !important;\n    font-weight: 700 !important;\n    line-height: 1.2 !important;\n    letter-spacing: -0.4px !important;\n    color: #0e131b !important;\n    margin: 0 0 20px !important;\n    padding: 0 !important;\n  }\n\n  \/* ---------- Grid ---------- *\/\n  .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid {\n    display: grid !important;\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));\n    gap: 14px;\n    align-items: stretch;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    padding: 0 !important;\n  }\n\n  @media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {\n    .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid {\n      grid-template-columns: repeat(4, minmax(0, 1fr));\n      gap: 16px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  @container livbuildings (max-width: 699px) {\n    .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid {\n      grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));\n      gap: 14px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  @container livbuildings (min-width: 700px) {\n    .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid {\n      grid-template-columns: repeat(4, minmax(0, 1fr));\n      gap: 16px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  \/* Small counts should not stretch a card across the whole column. *\/\n  .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid--n1 {\n    grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 1fr);\n    max-width: 320px;\n  }\n\n  .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid--n2 {\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));\n    max-width: 660px;\n  }\n\n  @container livbuildings (min-width: 700px) {\n    .liv-buildings .liv-buildings__grid--n3 {\n      grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));\n      max-width: 820px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  \/* 5 or 9 buildings across 4 columns strands a single card on its own\n     row.
