Quick data point: took my daughter to her first Flames game last week. Seeing her face light up when they scored was absolutely priceless. Creating a new generation of fans!

My recommendation: spend a weekend in Garrison Woods 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.

Hope that helps.

I work downtown and live in Tuscany. The commute is honestly not bad compared to what I dealt with in the GTA. Plus you can actually afford a house here.
