While I have no experience living there myself the people I know that live in Okotoks are quite found of it. Compared to Calgary they seem to have much better access to recreation for their kids (ie, ice times, soccer, etc). That really all I can think of... 
I've also noticed that the one personality trait you must have in order to enjoy your life in a "parasite" community is the ability to seriously underestimate how long it takes you to get places...  |
You're welcome to come out anytime and ride out there with me. You do know there are sec hwys connecting Okotoks to Millarville and on to Bragg Creek and #1, right? The only way you're closer in Calgary is from the extreme NW communities or Cougar Ridge area.
We have timed it a time or two, if my buddy leaves his Mission condo at the same time as I leave my driveway he's consistently about that much behind me on arrival.
Seems that a trait of the city dwellers is to time their drives assuming zero traffic or red lights...
