This thread is gold.

Just want to add - if you're new to Calgary, download the Calgary Transit app and explore the C-Train system. It's not perfect but it gets you around the core pretty well.

Love seeing all the new independent businesses popping up in Inglewood and Kensington. Support local! These are the places that give Calgary its character.

Cheers!

Welcome! This forum is actually one of the best resources for everything Calgary. Way better than asking on Reddit because the people here actually live in the neighborhoods they talk about.

Good luck!

Property taxes in Calgary are definitely going up but honestly they're still way better than what my friends pay in Toronto or Vancouver. And no land transfer tax in Alberta which saved us thousands.

The market right now is competitive but not insane like Toronto or Vancouver. You can still get a nice detached home under $600K in a good neighborhood if you're willing to look at University District or Cougar Ridge. just sayin

Good luck!

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

Alberta Health Services wait times can be long but the quality of care in Calgary hospitals is actually really good. I've had great experiences at Foothills and South Health Campus. So grateful for this community!

Good luck!

Took the family to Trolley 5 this weekend. Kids loved it, great portions, and the bill didn't make me cry. That's a win in my books.

Yoga studios in Calgary range from beginner-friendly to advanced. If you're just starting out, try Bridgette Bar in South Calgary. Really welcoming instructors who don't judge.

Loving Calgary so far! For groceries, the best value in Calgary is honestly the ethnic supermarkets. T&T, Superstore International aisle, and the shops on International Avenue have way better prices on produce and spices.
