Employer Provided Housing
Many businesses in town have housing available for staff, and this is generally the best way to find a place to live when you’re new to town. They’re often less expensive than renting on your own and most staff accommodations are already furnished. When applying for a job, ask about the availability of staff housing.
Websites and Social Media
Websites such as Rent Faster and several social media pages/groups are devoted to connecting people to housing in Banff. Accommodation can vary in type from a shared bedroom to a full apartment, lease terms. and rental rates. Be cautious and report rental scams to the local RCMP.
Word of Mouth
In a small town like Banff, word-of-mouth is still one of the best ways to find a place. Talk to your friends, colleagues, your employer, and anyone and anyone in your network that you are looking to rent and have them spread the word. Some landlords won’t advertise their rentals, preferring instead to rent to someone they know, or someone recommended to them.
