Having lived in Bridlewod, Mission and Varsity, every single neighbourhood has it's pros and cons.
Hard to vote against Varsity being top rated though. Access to CTrain, School, shopping, parks while still being a 20 minute drive to downtown.
Compare that to say Bridlewood that was 2 minutes from Fish Creek, but a 45-1 hour commute each way to downtown.
Mission was amazing for access to patios, places to eat and 2 minutes to downtown, but during Stampede, Lilac, Flames games, could become a nightmare. Also got woken up by people partying in the apartments during the summer and homeless people fighting outside the buiding.
Long story short, Live where it works for you and don't get riled up by lists. Also if you live in the Deep South and commute downtown, you have my sympathies.
