FWIW, we moved from Shaganappi to Scarboro last year and it was the best decision. Quieter, more green space, and our property taxes are actually lower.

My recommendation: spend a weekend in South Calgary before buying. Walk around, check out the local shops, talk to people. You'll get a feel for whether it's your vibe pretty quickly.

Anyone else in the same boat?

If you're driving Deerfoot during rush hour, my pro tip: take Barlow or Macleod as alternatives. Slightly longer distance but way less stress. Deerfoot at 5pm is basically a parking lot.

Cheers!
