Renting in Calgary

My search continues for a new place to live. I have expanded my search to houses for rent in Calgary.

What a beautiful country Canada is. Have you ever been there? or lived there? What tips would you give to a first time visitor / potential resident of the Calgary area?

I am so excited to move to somewhere new. I will miss my friends and family of course, but hopefully when we get settled they will come for a visit. I figure the more beautiful the place, the more visitors we will have right? Then our friends and family can have a two fold vacation, and visit combined.

What sites do you use when you are looking for a new house or apartment? I like doing a combination of internet research and old fashioned circle in the newspaper and drive around the neighborhoods. It is not so easy when it comes to driving around somewhere far away, so the internet comes in real handy for that situation.

I even like just going to open houses to see the insides of houses in different neighborhoods. I love different types of interior decor and architecture. It is a great way to get a feel for a new neighborhood if nothing else.
