Just because you know your neighbours doesn't mean it's an actual community. Kensington, Mission, Bridgeland...those neighbourhoods have
character. Country Hills, Evergreen, Chaparral, etc...not so much. They're nothing more than bland, identical homes built two feet away from each other on bland, identical cul-de-sacs.
Don't get me wrong, if you like living in that kind of neighbourhood, lucky you, because Calgary has plenty to choose from. That kind of lifestyle is certainly not for me, though.
