Pros:
-Nicest houses in Calgary
-The Jewish Community Centre (JCC) is a fabulous facility. Has swimming pools, workout facilities, childcare, etc. Probably the least busiest gym in the city. Great prices and you don't have to be a Jew to be a member
-Glenmore Landing right across the street with pretty much everything you need
-Quiet neighborhood
-Being along 90th ave, it's close to the major arteries like 14th Street S and Glenmore Tr
-Close walk to reservoir
-Will be awesome commute to NW once the ring road is built behind
-Heritage station 5 mins away
-Some of the houses are truly majestic and it's fun to drive through those areas, especially during Xmas
-High Jewish population and everyone is very welcoming and friendly

Cons:
-Highest property tax in the city
-Glenmore Landing is closebye, but it's always full of old people who are retired and don't know how to navigate a parking lot
-The liquor store in Glenmore landing closes at 7pm
-Occasional vandalism on the Jewish buildings, but it's gotten better recently
-Somehow a homeless guy made it here and he goes thru the bins every weekend
-After weekend synagogue, many people don't know how to use the sidewalk and literally walk in lines in the middle of the street
-If 90th Ave is gridlocked, you're not getting out of that area
