Close to shopping and other amenities, relatively quick to get downtown, and to many different parts of the city, diverse population, close to Airport, etc. I can't think of any other area of town that I would rather have lived.
By FAR, the most underrated part of town.

I have absolutely no love for the typical Post-WWII suburb but the diversity and inclusive nature of the NE (centred around Rundle) made suburbia almost bearable for me. I would have left Calgary a lot sooner than I have if my father decided to buy a house in a different quadrant. The cultural experience of walking through an apartment complex on my way to the train station is unrivalled by those found in other similarly designed Calgary suburbs outside of the NE.
That being said, if I were to move back to Calgary I'd definitely live in the inner-city. I'd be on a different timeline so my choices would be The Bridges, East Village, and Garrison Woods, but if it were in the near future I'd fancy Bunk's hood of
Lower Mount Royal.
