Most newspapers have a big classified ads section when it comes to apartment for sale. But buying is not that easy especially for young people at the beginning of their careers. Usually this population is looking for short term rent flats.

But now with the help of the Internet you can easily find what you want at a cheap price. The web site craigslist.com is to that extent very complete. It covers cities all over the world and its housing section receives thousands of new posts every day. Looking for apartments to rent in Calgary? Just go to "ca cities", choose Calgary and then click "apts/housing". You shall find what you want. You can also find a one bedroom apartment to stay for a few months in the "sublets/temporary" section. For those who do not want to be alone and prefer to share a 2 bedroom apartment, the "rooms/shared" section is made for you.

And it works I know someone who was looking for an apartment in San Diego next summer. He found a very nice 3 bedroom apartment that he is going to share with 2 other very nice guys for only 400$ a month in one of the most expensive area of the town.

So good luck for your research!
