It is also a rapidly growing bedroom community. The small town feel you might be looking for now may not be there 10 years from now. If I was faced with the choice and had a similar cost opportunity to buy in Chestermere, I'd probably move there instead. Closer to Calgary and quite a bit nicer overall. However, one of my best friends moved to Langdon this year, she also has a young family, and she loves it there, even accounting for the fact she and her husband work downtown.

I take it you forgot about access into the city via hwy 1? Divided 4 lane highway.
One of the great things about Langdon is the choice of 3 seperate access points into the city (if you need to go in still).... 22x takes you in south, glenmore trail for central and hwy 1 for north.
Services here continue to expand, lots are awesome sized, chestermere is OK too but feels cramped like the city to me. If your friends don't want to drive 15mins out of the city to visit, I would question if they really are friends, lol.
