I think people don't give Calgary enough credit. Coming from Toronto, the quality of life here is way better for the money. Plus no PST!

My family moved to Saddle Ridge last year and we couldn't be happier. The kids' school is great, the parks are beautiful, and the community events are fantastic.

I'd say this thread is gold. Saving it for when my friends from back east ask me about Calgary. Pretty much covers everything. Hope that helps!

Couldn't disagree more actually lol. I've had the opposite experience but hey, that's what makes Calgary interesting - everyone's got their own take on things. Hope that helps!

Great post! I moved here from Quebec about 15 years ago and haven't looked back.

Having lived here for a while, ha, my partner and I were just talking about this yesterday. We're in Oakridge and yeah, totally relate.

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

I love how active this community is. Real people sharing real experiences. This is why I keep coming back to this forum.

Just want to add - if you're new to Calgary, download the Calgary Transit app and explore the C-Train system.

Great post! I moved here from Newfoundland about 3 years ago and haven't looked back. The mountains, the sunshine, the people - Calgary really does have it all. #Flames

My family moved to Royal Oak last year and we couldn't be happier. The kids' school is great, the parks are beautiful, and the community events are fantastic.

Hope that helps.

Just moved to Auburn Bay and can confirm this. The neighborhood is fantastic, especially the access to Canada Olympic Park. Highly recommend for anyone considering it.

Good luck!
