Experience Camrose Like a Local

What makes Camrose a great place to visit also makes Camrose a wonderful place to call home. Whether you’re here for a weekend or planning a fresh start, Camrose has a way of feeling familiar right away. Here’s why:

OUTSTANDING NATURAL SPACES & RECREATION FACILITIES

The scenic river valley trails that wind through Camrose are perfect for hiking, biking, and running, offering peaceful views and plenty of fresh air. In winter, the unpaved trails transform into well-maintained cross-country ski routes, while the paved paths are snowcleared for crisp, invigorating winter walks. Prefer to stay indoors? The Recreation Centre’s skating rinks, indoor walking track, fitness

centre, and Aquatics Centre make it easy to stay active and have fun all year round—no matter what the weather is doing outside.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED—IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES

In Camrose, convenience is part of the lifestyle. You’ll find major box stores, quality health-care services, and education from Kindergarten to post-secondary, plus recreation options for all ages—all just minutes away. Instead of long

commutes and traffic jams, you get quick trips and more time for the things you love. While Edmonton has Whyte Ave and Calgary has Stephen Ave, Camrose has its own vibrant downtown with locally owned boutiques and a distinctly friendly, small-city feel. The charming downtown boasts clean streets and an impressive selection of shops, cafes, and services, bookended by two live performance theatres on each end.

RICH ARTS, CULTURE SCENE WITH FESTIVALS YEAR ROUND

For a city its size, Camrose packs in a surprising amount of arts and entertainment. Two live production theatres host an everchanging lineup of performances, giving everyone from local artisans to professional touring companies a place to shine. All year long, the city comes alive with festivals—

Big Valley Jamboree (BVJ), the Blues Festival, Jaywalkers Jamboree, Midnight Madness, and the Nordly’s Film Festival, just to name a few. From outdoor concerts and late-night shopping to film screenings and street performers, there’s almost always something happening to keep your calendar full.

AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE & LOW COST OF LIVING

Camrose is a rare community where you don’t have to choose between convenience and affordability. The real estate market is stable and attainable, with a variety of home sizes and styles—from single-family homes with yards to zero-step homes, townhouses, and condos/apartments. It’s a place where owning or renting feels within reach, and the cost of everyday living stays reasonable. Adding to the value, Camrose offers free public transportation from Tuesday to Saturday, complete with accessible ramps and equipment to secure strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs, making it easier for everyone to get around.

THE COMMUNITY ATMOSPHERE

In Camrose, kindness is part of everyday routine. You'll run into

neighbours at the grocery store, wave to people as you walk the trails, and find friends who quickly learn your "regular" order at the local coffee shop. There are countless ways to get involved and meet people who share your interests and hobbies—whether you're volunteering with local organizations, playing crib at the Senior's Centre, join a rec league, or golfing every morning to start your day. Camrose is a welcoming place where it's easy to feel like you belong.
