If you’re hunting for a rental in Calgary’s Beltline - somewhere walkable, vibrant, modern - you’ve probably seen dozens of options. But here’s why Cube Apartments is quietly leading the pack.
Welcome to Beltline: Calgary’s Urban Heart
Beltline is Calgary’s densest, most walkable neighbourhood - filled with restaurants, shops, nightlife, transit, and green spaces. It sits just south of 9th Avenue and stretches to the Elbow River and up to 14th Street SW.. If you want to live in the pulse of city life, Beltline is it.
Location Is Everything - And Cube Nails It
Cube sits right at 11th Ave & 11th St SW in the heart of Beltline, meaning most daily errands don’t require a car. Got a grocery run? A Co-op is right across the street. Craving tacos, late night coffee, local boutiques? Yours are steps away. Transit is almost door-to-door: a bus stop at 11 Ave & 12 St SW is a 2-minute walk. Walk score? Up there. Cube has a reported walk score of 98, making it a walker’s paradise.
So you’re not just “in the city” — you are the city.
Amenities & Living Experience That Beat Expectations
To really stand out, a building must deliver more than location. Cube delivers on experience:
Parking included - Underground heated parking is included (especially for two-bed units).
Pet-friendly & pet wash station - Because your pup deserves the good life too.
Rooftop patio with views of the Rockies and cityscape — perfect for sunsets, social hangs, or just chilled vibes.
Bike storage and secure facilities - ideal for the eco / two-wheeled city commute crowd.
Modern suite finishes & large windows - light-filled interiors, open concept kitchens, in-suite laundry.
Heat, water, utilities- many of these are included or bundled so you can budget better.
Together, these features make Cube more than just an address - it’s an urban lifestyle.
Comparing Cube to the Competition
Let’s be real: the Beltline rental market is hot. Buildings like The Metropolitan offer luxe amenities (movie theatre, event spaces, etc.) and newer towers like BLVD Beltline present high-end finishes and resort style suites.
But Cube’s sweet spot is the balance. You get:
Top-tier location without paying exorbitant “flagship building” premiums,
Essential luxury features without extra packaging fees,
A community vibe (rooftop hangouts, pet areas) that beats sterile towers,
And convenience built-in so your day-to-day is smoother.
Rent ranges for Cube (1–2 bed) typically fall in the $1,595 to ~$2,475 range depending on size and layout. That gives you serious value in a market where two bedroom alternatives are often pushing higher.
Who’s a Perfect Fit for Cube?
Millennials & young professionals who want to walk, bike, or transit everywhere
Pet owners who want a building that works with their furry sidekick
Remote workers / creatives who value a view, natural light, and local cafes
Couples or roommates seeking private space + community
Anyone who’s tired of commuting - Cube brings so much to your doorstep.
