C4th,
I've used "Weary & Co." in St Albert for my past 2 moves (into and out of St Albert) and have had no issues. I am using them again for my ongoing purchase. They are on the IRP list and conform to the fixed price schedule.
Good luck with your move! St Albert is a great city - pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Cheers,
Mark C

I live in Edmonton and there are some nice cute little houses in the downtown area. Alot of people think it's a bit ghettoish but really there are some nice neighborhoods and we just need more nice families who keep take pride in their property living in the area. There is even an initiative to clean this area up. I plan on buying here in a few years.

A really nice area in edmonton is around white ave. Not on the N side on the South side.
The houses are all pretty old but all of the trees are mature. There isnt too many bums, your close to the city, hospital, and doesnt take too long to get to the edmonton garrision.

I'm referring more to the blanket statements like "the northeast used to be pretty rough" which just are'nt true in Edmonton. Old Glenora and Saskatchewan drive are both in close proximity to places like Stony Plain road and Whyte ave.
I'm trying to say that no matter where you live in edmonton, it is only a stones throw to the nearest concentration of rub'n'tugs, pawn shops, and porn movie rental stores, or a major artery where 16 year old chinese boys drag race their unmufflered civics at 3 am.

If you don't mind small town living, Bon Accord or Gibbons are both a little cheaper, but way less servicies. Bon Accord property taxes really suck though, rivals St.Albert. St. Albert is pricier than the city, but as far as QOL goes, i think it is the nicest part of the city.
hey, We lived in Griesbach and had no troubles other then rent going up every six months. When we needed something fixed they would send somebody to help us. Below is a website for the housing in Griesbach.

I have some friends that live in Lancaster Park where the CFHA house military and when they need help with something they pretty much ignore them and tell they to fix it themself.

Siggywife,
The Edmonton PMQ's are extremely expensive (starting at about 700$/month) especially considering that you can get a similar size house (or a bigger condo) for a roughly equivalent amount.
The convenience of living on the base is offset by the yearly 100$/month rent hikes, perpetual road construction, continual harassment from the Military Police, and the refusal of CFHA to fix problems like leaky pipes, wet basements, single pane glass windows, poor insulation or mould.
Scrape up the down payment and get your own place, it is a waste of time to live on the base, and moving in and out is far more stressful than it has to be, due to the unco-operative nature of the civvies who work at CFHA in Edmonton. Moving into the PMQs was the dumbest thing I ever did, and moving out was an extremely aggravating (if satisfying) experience.
Hope this helps. (4 years later, I'm still bitter)

Well I can honestly say that we lived in Kingston PMQs for ten years. Nothing can be worse then them.. 3 bedroom no basement leaky pipes drafty walls asbestos mold mildew etc.. and we paid 750/month...new siding we were looking at 800-950.. point made
We are exploring different venues.. Currently we are in Shearwater.. Bought a house in the Passage .. looking to buy in Mornville, Bon Accord area.. and any other areas in between.. The Q is just an option incase we dont find anything we like.. or at least a temporary stop.. I will look in St Albert as well.. How is Sherwood Park area?..

I relocated to Edmonton in November, I live in the west end, outside Mayfield Common, it's a nice area off Stony Plain Road. Go is correct, Stony Plain Road from 150th street to 164th street is garbage and two blocks either south or north is a very nice area. Same as Clareview, Castle Downs etc etc. Try out this site www.homebase.ca, it's a real big help.

I just moved to edmonton as well, I didn't know where would be a good place to rent.. I ended up in Clareview. It is awesome, there is a superstore, walmart, 2 movie theaters, a bunch of restaurants etc. The train to downtown is minutes away, and the base is only about a 10-15 minute drive. Other than that , if you are looking to buy a place Lakeview is close to the base and doesnt' seem that expensive to buy a house, or there is also Castledowns. Hope that helps
