Thanks for the replies and feedback thus far. I've spent very little time in the west/south part of the City, as I grew up in the NE and currently live in North Central. So I'm a little more familiar with the areas north of the river; although I've thought about places SW of downtown (Sunalta, Bankview, Altadore, etc.), that's about it thus far.
Not interested in spending more than $500k so that takes a lot of the infills/nicer areas out of the equation. Proximity to shopping/restaurants is nice but not a requirement for us. Just looking for good proximity to DT, safe area for our kid to play outside, and something reasonably comfortable to live in. Good community vibe would be a bonus
