We're a family of three living in a 2 bedroom condo in the Beltline. We are two blocks away from Safeway, three from Co-op. My daughter's school (she will attend it next year) is two blocks away. We have several parks within a couple minutes walk. I commute on foot to work and her daycare. Yes, we do drive out to the 'burbs for Costco shopping, but it's not essential. There is a new (small) Canadian Tire going in a few blocks away and a new grocery store. Yes, if we had a second child, it would be harder to stay in Beltline and I do wish there were more low-rise, townhouse/brownstone options here, but there's really no need to move at this point. I love this neighbourhood, before having kids and now.
