Housing

Whether you prefer to own your own home, enjoy the flexibility of a condo or prefer to rent a town home, Lethbridge offers a broad selection of homes to choose from.  The average home prices in Lethbridge are among the lowest of all the major cities in Alberta and according to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Housing Market Outlook Q2, 2011 this trend is expected to continue into 2012.

The selection and outstanding value of housing in Lethbridge only adds to the appeal of the city. You will find new designs in exclusive neighbourhoods including SunRidge, the first “Built-Green” community in Canada, as well as affordable starter homes in every corner of the city.

Newer subdivisions and more mature neighbourhoods offer safe and comfortable surroundings close to all amenities and ideal for families of every size. In fact, Lethbridge's London Road Neighbourhood is among the 12 Best Old House Neighbourhoods in Canada according to This Old House magazine 2011.

If don’t want to deal with maintenance, there are a number maintenance-free developments suitable for those preferring an adults-only environment.

Public transit is provided to all residential areas by the Lethbridge’s transit department, LA Transit. These are just a few of the things that contribute to the quality of life and lower cost of living that Lethbridge residents enjoy.
