I looked at both Glacier Ridge and Panorama Hills before settling on Acadia.
For families with young kids, Scarboro is hard to beat. Great playgrounds, safe streets, and the school is within walking distance for most residents.

I looked at both Rangeview and Tuscany before settling on Evanston. The school district was the deciding factor for us. No regrets at all.
