I've lived in the SW all my time here, so I can only vouch for that. As south as Evergreen, as north as Kingsland. All have been great areas. Currently I live within walking distance to a train station, easy access to Macleod, very quiet area. Most of my friends live between Somerset (pretty far south) and Evergreen. They all love it.
The SE is very far from downtown, but is pretty self-sufficient. No train access though. I don't know much about living in the NW or NE, however. The NE does have a bad reputation.
I suppose the best option to start would be consider where you're working and find a place with that in mind.
