Across Edmonton, furnished one-bedroom apartments averaged $1,398 in September 2026, compared with $1,254 for unfurnished one-bedroom apartments, according to liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report. Prices for individual buildings near Kingsway\/Royal Alex Station may differ from these citywide averages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The station itself sits on Kingsway Avenue near 106 Street NW, on Edmonton’s Metro Line, directly serving Royal Alexandra Hospital and a short walk from Kingsway Mall. It sits south of the NAIT campus corridor further up the line, so renters choosing this stretch are buying proximity to a working hospital and a full-service mall, not a student postal code. For a wider view of how Edmonton’s rental pockets compare, liv.rent’s neighbourhood guides cover several corridors along the Metro and Capital lines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Kingsway\/Royal Alex rental corridor runs along four parallel streets, 106 Street to 109 Street NW, inside the 10600 to 10940 block, each shaped by which end of the corridor it sits closer to. Buildings nearer 106 Street sit closest to Royal Alexandra Hospital’s grounds, while buildings on 109 Street are nearer Kingsway Mall’s east side.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The westernmost stretch of the corridor, 106 Street NW, sits closest to Royal Alexandra Hospital, an Alberta Health Services acute-care hospital with a 24-hour emergency department at 10240 Kingsway NW. Carina Court and Gilford Apartments are located along 106 Street near the hospital, a practical option for hospital staff who want to walk to a shift rather than drive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The middle of the corridor, 107 and 108 Street NW, is a mostly residential stretch of low-rise walk-ups between the hospital and the mall. Malibu House and Seventh Street Manor sit on 107 Street, and Jazz Manor and Waselenak Place sit on 108 Street, putting all four within an easy walk of either end of the corridor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The eastern edge of the corridor, 109 Street NW, is the closest of the four to Kingsway Mall, a 977,880-square-foot shopping centre with more than 160 stores, according to the mall’s own site. Chelsey Apartments sits on this block, a short walk from the mall’s entrances and food court for anyone working retail or service shifts there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Seven buildings included in liv.rent’s October 2024 buildings list sit within the Kingsway\/Royal Alex corridor, spread across 106 Street, 107 Street, 108 Street and 109 Street NW: Carina Court, Gilford Apartments, Malibu House, Seventh Street Manor, Chelsey Apartments, Jazz Manor and Waselenak Place. That is an unusually complete lineup for a single Edmonton LRT stop. Review the verification information displayed on each listing and confirm the landlord, property details, and current availability before booking a viewing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Renters new to the platform can walk through booking a viewing and checking a landlord’s verification status in liv.rent’s renter’s guide. Landlords who manage a unit in this corridor can screen applicants directly through liv.rent’s tenant screening tools.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kingsway\/Royal Alex is a surface-level stop on Edmonton’s Metro Line, with a transit centre next to the platform that combines bus and LRT service, according to the City of Edmonton’s Edmonton Transit Service. From the station, connecting buses reach downtown, the NAIT campus, Stadium and Westmount, Coliseum, MacEwan University and St. Albert, so a car-free commute works in several directions, not only toward downtown.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A hospital worker can reach Royal Alexandra Hospital on foot, a retail employee can walk to Kingsway Mall, and both can still catch the Metro Line downtown or south to the University of Alberta area without a transfer to a second LRT line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alberta does not cap how much a landlord can raise the rent. For a month-to-month periodic tenancy, the landlord must give at least three full tenancy months’ written notice, and rent cannot increase during a fixed term or until at least 365 days have passed since the tenancy began or the rent last went up, under Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act (Government of Alberta, “During a tenancy,” accessed September 2026).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That rule matters for any tenant on a fixed-term lease: the increase cannot land mid-term regardless of the reason for the fixed term. This is general information, not legal advice; a tenant or landlord with a specific dispute should contact Alberta’s Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service or read liv.rent’s wider Alberta rental law coverage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Kingsway\/Royal Alex corridor suits Royal Alexandra Hospital’s shift workers and Kingsway Mall’s retail and service staff who want a short, walkable commute without paying downtown rents, plus anyone who wants Metro Line access without living inside the NAIT campus footprint further north.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Renters comparing this stop against others on the line should treat the hospital-and-mall identity here as the deciding factor: a nine-to-five retail schedule and a rotating hospital shift both work with the bus and LRT connections out of this station, which is not true of every stop on Edmonton’s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t Kingsway\/Royal Alex Station is a stop on Edmonton’s Metro Line, located on Kingsway Avenue near 106 Street NW. It sits directly beside Royal Alexandra Hospital and a short walk from Kingsway Mall, with a transit centre that connects LRT service to bus routes reaching downtown, NAIT, Stadium and Westmount, Coliseum, MacEwan University and St. Albert.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tBuilding<\/strong><\/td> Address<\/strong><\/td> Street<\/strong><\/td> Closest to<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>\n Carina Court<\/td> 10610 106 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 106 Street<\/td> Royal Alexandra Hospital<\/td><\/tr>\n Gilford Apartments<\/td> 10638 106 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 106 Street<\/td> Royal Alexandra Hospital<\/td><\/tr>\n Malibu House<\/td> 10717 107 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 107 Street<\/td> Corridor core<\/td><\/tr>\n Seventh Street Manor<\/td> 10716 107 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 107 Street<\/td> Corridor core<\/td><\/tr>\n Jazz Manor<\/td> 10741 108 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 108 Street<\/td> Corridor core<\/td><\/tr>\n Waselenak Place<\/td> 10720 108 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 108 Street<\/td> Corridor core<\/td><\/tr>\n Chelsey Apartments<\/td> 10730 109 Street NW, Edmonton<\/td> 109 Street<\/td> Kingsway Mall<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n How does Kingsway\/Royal Alex Station connect renters to the rest of Edmonton?<\/h2>\n
