Yep, same here. I like Canyon Meadows (shocking, I chose to live here), seemed affordable at the time, trees are nice and big and grown, decent proximity to many things, downtown drive is a bit long but not horrific. People take care of their properties for the most part. Guess you could say that about anywhere though. Family is close.
But I recently had reason to suspect some hooligans were going to break into my home and I hopped on Calgary police's little crime hunting website thing- Canyon Meadows seems to be quite the criminal hotbed, or at least last I checked it seemed to be! Maybe that retired cop mentioned earlier is gone.
Also there are 3 liquor stores here. You got Surrinder the guilt tripper down by the Macs, then pricey booze place up by Scarlett, but the other one by the Husky aint bad... you should find that 3rd spot to test your comfort zones.
