Found a few apartement complexes were rent was around 1500$ a month which isn't bad but isn't great either! Hopeing I can get rid of my sleds before I come out just to have some extra buffer in the bank and have that much less stress when I get out there cause it's a big move! Thanks again all! So stoked!

My neighbours have a duplex in the west end that might be for rent. I'll see if it is still available.

Check out Spruce Grove or Stony Plain, rent could be cheaper than the West End of Edmonton.

Also some nice acreages for rent outside of Edmonton.

Just a thought.

this is what I'm looking for. Want a bit of space for the dogs in the backyard and not sure I want to commit to buying anything until we are sure what were doing/ how long were staying pretty sure at least a year maybe longer. Maybe trailor park life for a bit lol

appreciate it man! Looking like anything that is large dog friendly is around 2000$-2500$ a month plus utilities and what not that's stretching my budget considering I'm basing our housing off only my income she will have to get a part time job during the internship as it's "unpaid" free labour. I do appreciate the extra eyes and ears open "up" there lol

It looks like the landlord JBM referred me to is going to work out! Nice place newer duplex rent is really reasonable and they just said if our dogs wreck anything we can fix it before we leave which is great! Cause our dogs are really well behaved so I don't think anything will happen. Only shitty thing is the parking area is at the back of the place in the backyard area and it's gunna be tight with the escape and the p.wagon lol

done bud!

Hey does anyone know if there's good atv trails around Edmonton or parks where their allowed? I'm debating on trading the sled in on an atv considering my sleds still worth quite a bit. And it's late in the season to sell it here still have to get rid of Amy's but I'm up in the air. Worried I'll be bored during the summer! And don't want to wear the wagon out to quick haha

There's lots of good trails, but from what I know, you have to go a couple hours out of Edmonton. There's not a lot right close by. Others may know different, I've always headed west of Red Deer/Rocky, or south.

There are tons of great trails, most about 1.5 hours away from Edmonton, but a few closer. I take my ATV on day trips to a fair amount of areas (Medicine Lake, Alder Flats, Brazeau, Brurderheim, Swan Hills, and many more).
