Overview of 1Ten on Whyte
1Ten on Whyte is a student housing building located on Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue) in Edmonton, Alberta, directly adjacent to the University of Alberta campus. It offers a mix of studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units. The property includes a gym, on-site laundry, and utility bills are included in the rent. Monthly prices range from CAD 910 to CAD 2,445 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The minimum lease term is seven months, and units are available from September 3, 2026.
As of the data used for this article (July 2026), 1Ten on Whyte is the only student housing property listed on this platform in Edmonton, and its starting price of CAD 910 is exactly the city’s from-price — meaning it represents the lowest-priced option currently available through this channel.
Who This Residence Suits
Students at the University of Alberta who want to be steps from campus. The building’s location on Whyte Avenue puts you within a short walk of main lecture halls, libraries, and the Student Union Building. The area is also known for its shops, restaurants, and nightlife, so you are never far from daily essentials or social spots.
Those who prefer an all-inclusive rent structure. With bills included (electricity, water, heating, internet), you avoid the hassle of setting up separate utility accounts or unexpected mid-month charges. This is especially helpful for international students or first-year renters who may not be familiar with local billing cycles.
Residents who want a range of floor plans under one roof. From a studio (often the most affordable option) to a four-bedroom apartment for a group of friends, there is flexibility. Students who want a private unit can choose a studio or one-bedroom; those looking to split costs can opt for a 2-, 3-, or 4-bedroom share.
People who value on-site fitness. The gym eliminates the need for a separate membership, and the laundry facility means you can wash clothes without leaving the building.
Short-term lease seekers. With a minimum lease of seven months, it suits students who need accommodation for a single academic term (e.g., September to April) but not a full 12-month contract.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Anyone who cannot tolerate hot summers without air conditioning. One former resident specifically noted the lack of air conditioning as a major drawback. Edmonton summers can be warm, and if you are sensitive to heat, the absence of AC may be a dealbreaker.
Cooks who rely on an oven. According to the same review, some units lack ovens. If you frequently bake or roast meals, you will need to check with management about which floor plans include a full range.
Those who expect a spacious floor plan. The same negative review described the unit as “really small.” While square footage varies by unit type, studio and one-bedroom layouts in purpose-built student housing tend to be compact. Prospective tenants should tour or request exact dimensions.
People who need a dedicated quiet study environment. While the building itself may be fine, the surrounding Whyte Avenue area can be noisy, especially on weekends. Light sleepers or those who need absolute silence for studying might prefer a quieter residential street farther from the strip.
Budget-conscious students looking for the absolute lowest rent. The starting price of CAD 910 may be the cheapest on this platform, but Edmonton’s rental market also includes older walk-up apartments or basement suites that could be cheaper. However, those options often lack the amenities (gym, included utilities) and the proximity to U of A that 1Ten on Whyte offers.

Ayat Ahmed (5 stars) wrote: “I am having the best experience here. The amenities and behavior of the staff are top notch. The best part about this is how clean and hygienic the lobby and other areas are. I would totally recommend this to people looking for residence in Edmonton!” Cleanliness and staff professionalism stood out to this resident.
Takeaway: Experiences vary widely. The property’s overall Google rating of 4.2 out of 5 (based on 51 reviews) suggests that the majority of reviewers were satisfied. However, the 1-star review highlights important potential downsides — especially regarding unit equipment (no AC, no oven, no bathroom fan) and internet reliability. It is worth contacting the property directly to confirm which units include these features and whether internet has been upgraded.
Price Positioning vs. City’s From-Price
Edmonton’s from-price on this platform is CAD 910 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). 1Ten on Whyte’s starting price matches that figure. Since there is only one property listed in Edmonton, the city’s from-price is entirely driven by this building’s cheapest rental (likely a studio or a room in a multi-bedroom unit).
The top end of CAD 2,445 (indicative) corresponds to larger or more private units — for example, a one-bedroom apartment or a premium studio on a higher floor. Relative to other purpose-built student housing in Canadian cities, Edmonton’s rents are generally lower than in Vancouver or Toronto. Within Edmonton, 1Ten on Whyte is priced competitively for its location, but it is not the cheapest option citywide (off-campus purpose-built rentals may be slightly higher, while older private rentals may be lower).
Room-Type Guidance
- Studio: Typically the most affordable option. Suitable for a single person who wants private living and kitchen space (note: verify if the kitchen includes a full oven).
- 1-bedroom: Offers separate bedroom and living area. Good for couples or students who need a dedicated sleeping space apart from the study area.
- 2-bedroom: Often rented as a shared unit between two roommates. Each person pays a share of the total rent, which may be lower than a studio.
- 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom: Ideal for groups of friends. The per-person rent can be significantly lower than studio rates. However, shared common areas mean less privacy.
When choosing, consider the appliances. If you must have an oven and air conditioning, ask the management directly which specific units include them — the negative review suggests not all do. Also note the bathroom fan issue; units without one may be prone to humidity and mold.
Booking Timing
Units are available from September 3, 2026. The minimum lease is seven months, so the earliest move-out would be early April 2027. For students starting the fall 2026 semester, this timing aligns well.
Demand for on- or near-campus housing in Edmonton is moderate compared to larger cities, but 1Ten on Whyte is the only property listed on this platform. If you are interested, it is advisable to begin inquiries as early as possible — ideally by mid-2026 — to secure your preferred unit type and floor plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rent truly all-inclusive, or are there additional fees?
The property’s tags indicate “bills included,” which typically covers electricity, water, heating, and internet. However, you should confirm the exact scope with the operator at the time of booking. Some buildings may exclude specific charges (e.g., parking, pet fees, or laundry usage).
Can I get a unit with air conditioning and an oven?
Based on the negative review, some units lack both. The property may have a mix of unit types — some with full kitchen appliances and AC, others without. Contact 1Ten on Whyte directly to ask which specific floor plans include a standard oven and air conditioning, and whether a portable AC unit or a bathroom fan can be provided upon request.
What is the cancellation or early move-out policy?
The available data does not include cancellation terms. Standard student housing leases in Edmonton typically require a notice period (e.g., 60 days) and may charge a penalty for breaking the lease early. Ask the operator for written details before signing.
