A condo in the burbs seems like the worst of both worlds. The advantage of living in the burbs would be more so space, to allow for hobbies like cars, smokers, home gym, hunting/fishing equipment, etc... The freedom and space would make up for the isolation and commutes.
I guess if you no desire to pursue hobbies that require physical space and also have no desire to frequently engage in social activities, it makes sense, but why stop at Calgary? There are even cheaper condos in other cities.
