I'm sure proximity to the Airport helps. There are a lot of services here, as I mentioned before, but as far as terrain... Okotoks is nicer. Airdrie is pretty flat right where the development is, but as soon as you head 4 kms west of the Deerfoot and clear the subdivisions you're in the rolling prairie and not far from the foothills around Cochrane.

I had to work in Okotoks for 2 weeks when I first arrived in Alberta. The terrain there definitely makes for a more interesting visual. Airdrie is just a flat grid that's cut up it's gut by Hwy 2.
