Finishing a shift at 3 a.m. turns the drive home into the part of the day you feel most, so the best rental buildings near hospitals Edmonton offers cluster in three districts: West Meadowlark beside the Misericordia, Clareview near the Northeast Community Health Centre, and Mill Woods by the Grey Nuns. This guide covers seven buildings across those districts, using asking rents read on owner sites on September 28, 2026, and it says plainly which picks rest on an owner page and which are location picks only.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which Edmonton hospital districts suit a shift worker?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Three community hospital districts suit shift workers who want a short trip home: West Meadowlark around the Misericordia Community Hospital, Clareview around the Northeast Community Health Centre<\/a>, and Mill Woods around the Grey Nuns Community Hospital. Alberta Health Services lists the Misericordia<\/a> at 16940 87 Avenue NW with a 24\/7 emergency department, and lists the Northeast centre at 14007 50 Street NW with 24-hour emergency services. Covenant Health<\/a> lists the Grey Nuns at 1100 Youville Drive West and says its emergency department runs around the clock.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This guide leaves out the areas around the University of Alberta Hospital and the Royal Alexandra Hospital and stays with these three districts. Distances here are not measured: each building’s gap to its hospital is given as the difference between street and avenue numbers, so confirm each trip on a map before you sign a lease.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do the seven buildings look like side by side?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Five of the seven buildings have an owner or manager page, and two are location picks that rest on the address alone. Only Cambridge West’s owner names a hospital, so the buildings are grouped by district and ranked best fit first within each district, because a building beside the Misericordia does not help someone who works at the Grey Nuns. Rents are owner-site asking rents (“from” prices) read on September 28, 2026.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How much does a one-bedroom cost near an Edmonton hospital?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Edmonton’s average unfurnished one-bedroom asked $1,254 in September 2026, down from $1,264 in August and 3.0% lower than a year earlier, according to liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report<\/a>. The Northeast was the most affordable sector at $1,183 and had the largest month-over-month decrease, while the Southwest was highest at $1,345.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Those are market averages, not what any one building charges. Cambridge West listed one-bedrooms from $1,155 ($99 below the city average), Leewood Village from $1,264 ($10 above), and Sandstone Pointe from $1,359 ($105 above). Clareview Court’s manager lists no one-bedroom, only bachelor suites from $980 and two-bedrooms from $1,399, and three of the seven buildings have no rent published on a page we could open.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Travelling staff on short contracts may want furnished space. The same liv.rent report puts Edmonton’s average furnished one-bedroom at $1,398 in September 2026, $144 above unfurnished, but none of these seven buildings was verified as offering furnished suites.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where can you rent near the Misericordia Community Hospital?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

West Meadowlark is the closest district for the Misericordia, and Cambridge West is the strongest pick because its owner names the hospital. Meadowlark Village and Californian Meadowlark complete the district. Alberta Health Services says public transit runs on 87 Avenue near the hospital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cambridge West, 8808 165 Street NW<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Cambridge West’s owner, Weidner, describes the apartments as near “Jasper Bright Sports Park, the West Edmonton Mall, and the Misericordia Community Hospital” and next to a bus stop. Its one-bedroom Eton suites (up to 900 sq. ft.) were listed from $1,155 a month<\/a>, which is $99 below liv.rent’s September 2026 Edmonton average of $1,254.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The owner page<\/a> lists a fitness centre, a saltwater pool, an on-site laundry room, a private patio or balcony, and a dishwasher, and calls the building pet-friendly. It does not state which utilities are included, so ask before you apply. By address the hospital sits about four street numbers west and one avenue south (a comparison of street numbers, not a measured distance, so confirm on a map).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meadowlark Village, 8745 165 Street NW<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Meadowlark Village is a pair of condominium buildings (8735 and 8745 165 Street) in the same neighbourhood as the hospital, and its address puts it about four street numbers east of the Misericordia’s 16940 87 Avenue address, on the same avenue (not a measured distance, so confirm on a map). Ayre Oxford’s condominium page<\/a> lists elevator service, security, and assigned underground parking, and says West Edmonton Mall is steps away and a transit stop is across the street.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The page shows no rents and describes a condominium complex, so check current availability and pricing before you plan around a price. Meadowlark Village on liv.rent<\/a> has a building page.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Californian Meadowlark, 8931 156 Street<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Californian Meadowlark is a location pick only. The research behind this guide found no owner or manager page with rents, amenities, or a hospital claim, so this entry rests on the address alone: 156 Street sits about 13 street numbers east and two avenues north of the hospital’s 16940 87 Avenue address, the widest gap in this district (not a measured distance, so confirm on a map). Details for Californian Meadowlark on liv.rent<\/a> need confirming with the current landlord.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is renting near the Northeast Community Health Centre cheaper?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Renting in the Northeast is cheaper than the Edmonton average: liv.rent’s September 2026 Calgary and Edmonton rent report<\/a> puts the Northeast’s unfurnished one-bedroom at $1,183, which is $71 below the $1,254 citywide figure, and it recorded the largest month-over-month decrease. The Northeast Community Health Centre, at 14007 50 Street NW, provides outpatient and ambulatory care and, according to Alberta Health Services, 24-hour emergency services.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clareview Court, 3820 134 Avenue NW<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Clareview Court is the better-documented Clareview pick, though it has no one-bedroom. Mainstreet Equity’s building page<\/a> listed bachelor suites from $980, two-bedrooms from $1,399, and three-bedrooms from $1,629 with water and heat included, in-suite laundry, and patrol security. The page shows a $699 security deposit for all unit types.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The owner says transit is right outside and that the building is close to routes such as 137 Avenue NW, 50 Street NW, and Victoria Trail NW, with Clareview Town Centre Mall a five- to 10-minute walk. The page does not mention the health centre, which sits about six avenues north and 12 street numbers west by address (not a measured distance, so confirm on a map). Clareview Court on liv.rent<\/a> has a building page.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Estates of Clareview, 4304 139 Avenue<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Estates of Clareview is a location pick only. No owner page with rents or amenities was found, so the case rests on its address: 4304 139 Avenue is one avenue and about seven street numbers from the health centre’s 14007 50 Street address, a smaller gap than Clareview Court’s (not a measured distance, so confirm on a map). Rents and suite types for Estates of Clareview on liv.rent<\/a> need confirming with the current landlord.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which Mill Woods buildings are near the Grey Nuns Community Hospital?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Leewood Village and Sandstone Pointe, two Boardwalk buildings on Millwoods Road, are the Mill Woods picks, but neither owner page mentions the Grey Nuns. The hospital is at 1100 Youville Drive West (3015 62 Street NW), so treat these as district picks and confirm the trip on a map.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Leewood Village, 3845 Millwoods Road<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Boardwalk’s Leewood Village page<\/a> listed one-bedrooms (750 to 1,100 sq. ft.) from $1,264 , which is $10 above liv.rent’s September 2026 Edmonton average of $1,254. Water and heat are included, and the building lists on-call security, a storage room, card-operated laundry, a social room, and a BBQ patio. Cats and dogs are allowed, the security deposit is $599, and outside parking is $20 a month, per the same page.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sandstone Pointe, 3840 Millwoods Road<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Boardwalk’s Sandstone Pointe page<\/a> listed a 902 sq. ft. one-bedroom from $1,359, which is $105 above the September 2026 Edmonton average (Boardwalk’s Mill Woods overview page showed the property from $1,339 the same day, so confirm the current price). Heat is included, and the page lists a kids club, a storage room, card-operated laundry, a dishwasher, and parking. Cats and dogs are allowed, and the owner describes convenient access to schools, amenities, and major roads rather than a hospital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is it worth living within walking distance of your hospital?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Living close can shorten the drive home after a night shift and may lower parking costs, but only if you confirm the route yourself. Covenant Health<\/a>‘s Misericordia<\/a> and Grey Nuns pages list public parking from $2.50 for 30 minutes to $74 for a monthly pass, and staff rates may differ, so ask your employer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

West-end commutes will also change. According to the City of Edmonton<\/a>, Valley Line West includes an elevated station at Misericordia Hospital, with construction expected to finish in 2028 and testing before the line opens, and major roadwork on 87 Avenue is under way in 2026.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What should health-care workers know about leases in Alberta?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Alberta does not cap rent increases, but a landlord cannot raise the rent until at least 365 days after the tenancy began or the last increase, whether the tenancy is fixed-term or periodic, according to the Government of Alberta<\/a>. The same page says a month-to-month periodic tenancy needs at least three full tenancy months’ written notice of an increase. This is general information, not legal advice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A fixed-term lease gives a shift worker on a contract a steadier rent and gives a landlord a predictable tenancy. For how deposits work in Alberta, see liv.rent’s guide to rent deposits in Alberta<\/a>, and browse current Edmonton rental listings on liv.rent<\/a> before you commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Where should a nurse live in Edmonton to be close to work?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\n

It depends on the hospital. West Meadowlark suits the Misericordia Community Hospital, Clareview suits the Northeast Community Health Centre, and Mill Woods suits the Grey Nuns Community Hospital. Confirm each trip on a map, because this guide compares street and avenue numbers rather than measuring distances.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

How much is a one-bedroom apartment near Misericordia Hospital?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\n

Cambridge West, whose owner names the Misericordia, listed one-bedrooms from $1,155 a month on September 28, 2026. liv.rent<\/a>‘s September 2026 Edmonton average for an unfurnished one-bedroom was $1,254. Meadowlark Village, a condominium complex nearby, shows no rent on its management page, so check current availability.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Is there an LRT stop at the Misericordia hospital?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\n

Not yet. The City of Edmonton says Valley Line West includes an elevated station at Misericordia Hospital, with construction expected to finish in 2028 and testing before the line opens. Major roadwork on 87 Avenue is under way in 2026, so west-end commutes will change in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Are apartments near the Northeast Community Health Centre cheaper?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\n

Usually. liv.rent<\/a>‘s September 2026 report puts the Northeast’s unfurnished one-bedroom at $1,183, against $1,254 citywide, and it had the largest month-over-month decrease. Clareview Court lists no one-bedroom, but its bachelor suites started from $980 and two-bedrooms from $1,399 on September 28, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Can a landlord raise the rent during a lease in Alberta?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\n

Not until at least 365 days after the tenancy began or the last increase, whether it is fixed-term or periodic, according to the Government of Alberta. Alberta does not cap rent increases otherwise. A month-to-month tenancy needs three full tenancy months’ written notice of an increase.

Covenant Health’s Misericordia and Grey Nuns pages list public parking from $2.50 for 30 minutes to $74 for a monthly pass, read on September 28, 2026.
