Rental Units
Vacancy rates have traditionally been very low throughout the region. A stable population with a low turnover rate means that few apartments or rental accommodations become available each month. Rental prices vary from community to community in a range of $350 to $800 per month. Within the Town of Russell there are 35 apartment units ranging from bachelor suites to three bedroom apartments. Binscarth has one rental suite available and the community of Inglis has four apartments.
