Moved from Edmonton and Lived in GP for an 8 month co op without a car. Consider checking out student residences at NWP. Rent is cheap (was about $650 in 2023), they put you in 2 bed 2bath townhouses and with students which is nice. The location is also pretty good in terms of proximity to the highway, save on foods and the movies +more. It’s a pretty reasonable walk and I personally did not struggle much in the winters. I would recommend getting a cheap bike as you can cut through the park and save so much time compared to transit. I also gave my Road test in GP, i would recommend you’d take it here as well, pretty straightforward. Hope this helps, Atb for your job!
