As of the time of publishing, West Edmonton has the cheapest average rent prices in terms of one-bedroom unfurnished units. It&#8217;s important to note that this is an average rate and is subject to change based on supply, demand, and other factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing where to rent in Edmonton, 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 6 areas to find cheap rent in Edmonton, comparing key attributes of each sector to help renters decide where in the city they&#8217;d like to 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.
