There are some great restaurants in bridge land and on Edmonton trail. Close to everything. transportation meant a lot to us, my family lives south of fish creek, and my mother in law lives in the far north west, I work downtown, and my wife goes to the u of c, and it is all easier to get to than from other neighborhoods.
The house prices tend to be cheaper than other neighborhoods, because your address says NE.
The best part is the trees. They are huge, and beautiful. You can't see my house on google earth, because of the huge trees on my property. Fall is gorgeous, summer is nice and shady, but the best is spring. Half the trees are pink or white with flowers. Everything is blooming. There are tonnes of cool birds, like wood######s and prarie chickens, and some I cannot identify. It seems 50 years ago everyone planted their favorite trees, and the results are awesome. Unlike most any other neighborhood in the city. More trees than west hillhurst, more residential than mission. Other cities have neighborhoods like this, but it is rare in Calgary.
If you haven't seen the neighborhood during other seasons, you are catching it at it's least beautiful. If I am selling my house, I'm looking at doing it in spring, there are about three weeks where my street is spectacular.
