I'm close friends with a couple who are currently 8.5 months pregnant, live in Lower Mount Royal, and have no plans to leave the inner-city area after the birth of their child. In my Beltline condo building, there are several families with children ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers. There's absolutely no reason why you can't raise a family in the inner-city.

Exactly, I live in Mount Royal as well with a 2 year old and another coming late November. We have no plans of moving. Great place to raise a family. Close to work, Dome, parks, restaurants etc. Couldn't ask for a better area. The only downfall would be it's expensive to get a decent place in the core but I luckily got in before the unsustainable boom.
Living in the suburbs with long Commutes and high auto bills doesn't do it for me but nothing wrong with Cochrane or the suburbs if it works for you. A lot of pros and cons of each but raising kids isn't one of them.
