We also looked at Douglas Glen, liked it but I figured the commute DT would be worse. I am eager to live out the rest of my life never having to commute on Deerfoot, but that's just me.
Yeah, it's actually fairly easy to get to DT from Douglas Glen without using Deerfoot. I never set foot on Deerfoot, unless it's after 9pm at night.

Most of the time, I head up 18th st through Quarry Park and Riverbend and then take Glenmore to Crowchild (I work on the west side of DT).

If traffic is iffy, I go straight up 24th st through Odgen and sneak into DT through Inglewood.

Either route is about 25 minutes. That's still 18 minutes longer than it takes people from Airdrie to get to DT, but it's not that bad for me.
