Im REALLY generalizing here so no one take offence.
Generally you can see Edmonton's wealth distribution kinda goes highest in the SW -> NE which has a lower level of wealth. That being said there are wonderful neighborhoods across the entire city. I live more in the south central-ish area (around southgate) and love it. Whyte, though not the nicest area in parts, is a pretty central area to move to if you're a bit younger. Closer to the U of A the nicer. Most newer areas on the outskirts are fine too.
Areas to REALLY avoid, though, would be Beverly, Chinatown (though there have been a few nicer buildings go up here, would still avoid), certain parts of Claireview, 118th ave, Abbotsfield. The NE just really isn't all that nice.
Personal opinion though, I'm sure some people live in those areas and like it. West end in general is fine for apartments.. Around West Ed though I've heard its not that nice.
