Housing Listings

Builders in Wood Buffalo, especially in Fort McMurray, have been working hard to keep pace with the demand for housing. There are many new housing projects being built or planned in the region, including more affordable housing and a new senior housing development.

The demand for housing increases as oil sands development increases, which can make it difficult to find a home in the area. Therefore, prices for homes in the area are among the highest in Alberta. For more information see Cost of Living.

The cost of renting in Wood Buffalo is also among the highest in Alberta. A one-bedroom apartment costs approximately $1,500 per month, and you will need to pay a security deposit in addition to the first month's rent.
