Elev Homes is an Edmonton-based platform that helps post-secondary students secure quality, affordable off-campus housing. The company matches verified students with trustworthy hosts, providing a centralized marketplace where leases, payments, and viewings happen in one streamlined digital workflow.
What sets Elev apart is its student-first approach: standardized plain-English leases, transparent payment flows, host verification, and a 24/7 helpline. Smart matching surfaces properties that fit each student's budget, lifestyle, and proximity to campus, removing the guesswork from off-campus rentals.
By tackling barriers like credit-history requirements and predatory leases, Elev makes housing accessible to international and first-time renters who would otherwise struggle in tight markets. Their model helps reduce student housing precarity and supports academic success across Canadian post-secondary communities.
WHY IT STANDS OUT
Pioneered a centralized student housing platform in Edmonton, scaling annualized booking value over 20x and assisting more than a thousand students with rentals.
Partnered with the University of Alberta, MacEwan, Concordia, and NorQuest College to bring transparent leasing and standardized agreements to underserved student renter populations.
Co-launched The Hive in partnership with Five Oaks, delivering purpose-built affordable off-campus residences that address Edmonton's growing student housing affordability gap.
