Belgravia Edmonton Apartments for Rent

Neighbourhood Overview

Belgravia is one of Edmonton's most quietly prestigious inner-city neighbourhoods, a compact community of large heritage homes and mature elm-tree-lined streets immediately south of the University of Alberta campus along Saskatchewan Drive. The neighbourhood occupies an elevated ridge above the North Saskatchewan River valley, giving many properties direct valley views and access to the extensive river valley trail system below. Saskatchewan Drive itself provides one of Edmonton's most dramatic urban vistas — the downtown skyline and river valley visible for kilometres. The University of Alberta, with over 40,000 students and thousands of faculty and staff, is minutes away on foot. Single-family rental homes are rare and premium at $3,000–$5,000+/month; lower-suite and character apartment rentals run $1,500–$2,200/month. "Belgravia is Edmonton's secret premium neighbourhood. My house backs onto the river valley, I walk to the university, and the street has been here long enough that the elm trees are massive. It's the kind of neighbourhood that people who know Edmonton dream about living in." — Prof. David W., associate professor, University of Alberta
