I don't come to this sub-fourm often, so I missed out on most of this conversation. I was raised in the original properties communities, and my first house was in Martindale couldn't agree more with Thneed.

For some reason people incorporate about 1/2 of the SE with the NE. Anything South of Memorial is not part of the NE. It really has traditionally been the smallest quadrant in the city. With Deerfoot, 16th Ave, Barlow, the LRT, it has always been the easiest place to commute in the city. (stereotyping coming up here, since moving away I have found the drivers in other areas are much much better at driving in general, but traffic is so congested it is harder to commute). Right now the NE the fastest growing part of the city, so I am not sure if it will stay that way.

I also have always refused to look a houses in the SE because I think of the SE north of Glenmore as the most unsafe area of the city, and the deep SE has always struck me as an undesirable place in terms of amenities and commuting.

So I guess its all prospective.
