South Calgary Neighbourhood Advice
I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while now but finally decided to take the plunge and sign up for an account to try to get some advice from the great community here.
I work at a large corporation downtown which is planning to move to Quarry Park within the next few years (not too hard to guess which one). Currently I rent downtown and walk to work without the need to own a car. I've decided that 2013 will finally be the year to stop renting and buy a place of my own. I don't know neighbourhoods in South Calgary that well so I'm hoping that folks on here might be able to offer suggestions on where I should be looking.
A few additional details:
- I currently travel ~75% of my time so something requiring little to no maintenance is a must (ex townhouse/bare-land condo).
- A reasonable commute on transit to downtown today (ideally LRT but BRT would be ok) and by car to Quarry Park in the future.
- Priced somewhere between $400K and 500K
I realize that there are nice looking townhouses available in Quarry Park which probably meet these criteria but I'm looking for suggestions on other areas to expand my horizons a bit. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
