I think the more home for your buck is a thing of the past, but the lifestyle is what we love the most.
Some quick notes from our experience:
- Every major shopping need is filled in town, we only head to Calgary for work now
- Schools are outstanding
- Traffic is a thing of the past (although some areas of town do get busy during the morning and afternoon work rushes)
- Quiet
- Rec programs and sports for the kids are really good
- Appreciate the mindset the Town has in terms of recycling and water conservation
- Easy to get out of town and head camping for us

Thanks, great info.
It still does seem like you can get more home for your buck - we have looked pretty extensively in Calgary and I would say we can get the same home out in Okotoks for 10-20K less. Or get significant more square footage for what we would pay here.
