I have tried edmonton in the early summer for a place and found it was a pain. In May, I was looking at a place for 875, but it was on whitemud drive. Downtown...meh, a grand or better. I looked at a building called Jasper 111 and they wanted 1200 for a one bedroom. I also tried saskatchewan drive, but no vacancy. Close to downtown for 800 or less will be a challenge, but good luck in your search
