Renfrew Calgary Apartments for Rent

Neighbourhood Overview

Renfrew is a mid-sized inner-city community in northeast Calgary, situated between Bridgeland to the west and Ramsay to the south on a gentle hillside above the Bow River valley. The neighbourhood features a mix of older post-war bungalows and newer infill at price points that offer inner-city access without the premium of immediately adjacent communities. Tom Campbell's Hill Natural Area — one of the most dramatic natural viewpoints in the city — provides a hilltop park with panoramic views of downtown and the river valley. The Bridgeland-Memorial C-Train station is within reasonable walking distance. The 16th Avenue NE bus corridor connects north and east. One-bedrooms typically rent for $1,500–$2,000/month; two-bedrooms $1,900–$2,700/month. Renfrew appeals to renters who want genuine inner-city character and proximity to downtown at a meaningful discount to the city's most premium neighbourhoods. "I moved to Renfrew because it was the most affordable inner-city option I could find, and then I fell in love with the hill views and the neighbourhood feel. It's not trendy — which means the rents are still honest and the people who live here actually stay." — Paul T., social worker and Renfrew renter
