Finding 1 bedroom apartments for rent in Guelph, ON

Guelph is an attractive city of Ontario known for its thriving community and diverse housing options. While rental prices in Guelph are generally more affordable compared to Toronto, they have been steadily increasing over time. As a result, finding cheap rentals in Guelph, especially apartments for rent under $1000, can be challenging. However, to initiate your search, you can refer to this guide highlighting affordable neighborhoods in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) that may offer relatively more budget-friendly rental options.
In addition to choosing your location, it’s important to know what rental types are available in Guelph (e.g. 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom apartments, studio apartments) and the average rent for each property type. Refer below to figure out your options - ranging from furnished rentals and unfurnished rentals to long term rentals and short term rentals.

Guelph Rental Types

There are many rental property types you can choose from in Guelph.

Apartments for rent Guelph

Apartments for rent in Guelph are particularly popular among students, young professionals, and smaller households. They are typically more affordable than single-family homes, with prices varying based on location, unit size, and amenities offered. Central areas and those near the University of Guelph tend to have higher rental rates due to demand.

Houses for rent Guelph

In Guelph, whole houses for rent (detached, semi-detached, or linked) tend to attract individuals looking for roommates or families seeking more living space, a yard, and privacy. Renting a house is typically the most expensive option and is more common in residential neighborhoods away from the university. Prices can vary significantly based on the home’s size, condition, and neighborhood.

Townhouses for rent Guelph

In Guelph, townhouses for rent are prevalent in suburban communities and offer a balance between the space and privacy of single-family homes and the convenience of shared maintenance. They are popular with families and individuals desiring more space and possibly a small yard or garage. The cost is often moderate, positioned between apartments and detached homes.

Basements for rent Guelph

For those looking to find affordable rental housing in this increasingly expensive city, basements for rent in Guelph pose an attractive alternative. Since house prices are so expensive, homeowners will sometimes rent out their basements as a way to offset their mortgage payments. This makes it easy for renters to find relatively inexpensive basements for rent in all areas of the city.

Condos for rent Guelph

In more urban areas like Downtown Guelph or near the University of Guelph, condos for rent in Guelph are a common sight. These types of rental accommodation are perfect for those who like to be in the centre of the action, and don’t need as much space. If you are looking to rent in the city centre though, be prepared for higher-than-average rent prices.

Rooms for rent Guelph

Sharing a house or apartment is practically essential for those looking for cheap rent. Rooms for rent in Guelph are a great way to experience the best of the city on a budget, and can offer you the opportunity to live in neighbourhoods that would otherwise be unaffordable.

Special Guelph Rental Types

In addition to choosing your property type, there are also specific rental types you can look into.

Pet friendly rentals in Guelph

Though not every landlord is keen on allowing pets, there are a good number of pet-friendly rentals in Guelph for those with furry friends. Both dog-friendly and cat-friendly rental units are available, as well as properties where both are allowed. Keep in mind that some Guelph neighbourhoods are better suited to those with pets, and adjust your search accordingly.

Furnished rentals in Guelph

If you’re new to town or just haven’t had a chance to pick up furniture of your own yet, not to worry – there are plenty of furnished rentals available in Guelph. Renters seeking furnished units should search for these units using filters, but do be prepared to pay more in rent. There are pros and cons to renting furnished units compared to unfurnished units, so deciding whether it’s worth it to buy furniture when moving is a good first step.

Short term rentals in Guelph

Guelph has plenty of work opportunities and nearby academic institutions, making it a popular place for those renting on a short-term basis. Short-term rentals in Guelph are exceedingly popular, particularly during the summer months and at the beginning of school semesters. The added flexibility is an appealing prospect for many renters, and a key factor in deciding whether or not short-term rentals are right for you.

Cheap rentals in Guelph

Guelph is known for its inexpensive rent, making it relatively easy to find something within your budget. If you’re looking for cheap rentals in Guelph, ON, try finding a roommate or two and exploring shared housing; or search for rooms for rent.
