Moving for work
Think about your commute, your schedule and how long you expect to stay. If you work a rotation, a home that's easy to lock up and leave — or close to a highway — may matter more than square footage.

Relocation basics
What to know before you move
Renting vs buying
Buying can make sense if you plan to stay several years and want to build equity. Renting first can make sense if your job is short-term or you want time to learn the city. We'll tell you honestly when buying doesn't make sense yet.
Both sides of the border
Lloydminster is one city across two provinces. Some closing costs depend on the side you buy on, so it's worth understanding before you choose.
Neighbourhood fit
Every neighbourhood and surrounding town feels different — newer subdivisions, established streets, small-town living or acreages. Tell us what matters and we'll help narrow it down.
