Yellowknife Rentals

Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territories, and has just over 20,000 inhabitants. By "big city" standards, this is where Yellowknife may fall short, but the smaller size of this town is also a lure. It isn't over crowded, and it is in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

Yellowknife does have a robust downtown area, with some tall buildings, and somewhat of a "city skyline." The YK Centre office complex is one of the commercial buildings that dominates the view. Neighbourhoods with homes and commercial properties and businesses surround the core. To really get a good perspective of this town, you might want to go up to Pilot Hill and take in the view. Winters are darn cold, but the warmer months can be simply delightful. The lakes that surround Yellowknife offer beauty and recreational opportunities year-round. Great Slave Lake, and Frame Lake are two of the big lakes in the area.

The harbour area can be a bustling spot, with marinas hosting the goings and comings of the local boats and fishermen. Restaurants and shops can also be found down here. At night, you might be treated to an awesome display of the "Yellowknife Aurora."

Yellowknife Bay is another area of town that has float planes buzzing overhead, and the land is dotted with vacation homes and signs of growth. It is a densely forested area that is dominated by lush forests.

Homes in Yellowknife tend to look fairly modern, with the occasional "cabin" looking property. Condos can also be found in Yellowknife. Appartment buildings tend to be 2 and 3 story, and many of them offer balconies. In Yellowknife, you may see clusters of appartment or condo buildings as you travel through town. You can see new developments of condos going up around Great Slave Lake, hinting at the population growth that the area is experiencing.

Old Town is the original settlement of Yellowknife, and it is located on the North Arm of the Great Slave Lake, and Old Town is next to the tiny Dene community of N'dilo.
