Having the deerfoot so close is great, you can get downtown in 15-20 minutes.

I'm in Elgin as well. I haven't smelled the dump either since moving here in 2008. If anything, I like that it's close, but not too close. I've had to use it a few times with all the renovations we've been doing.
The neighborhood is great. It has pretty much everything you'll need within walking distance or a short drive. It's great for young families.
Deerfoot keeps the city within reach. 15-20 minutes to downtown is during optimal times. You can usually add 5-10 minutes on that for traffic on Deerfoot and Memorial.
