Pros:

- It's the nicest of the 4 "hills" communities
- Close to a lot of amenities (including the good T&T) and delicious restaurants
- It's a pretty quick commute Southbound
- Easy access to Deerfoot, Country Hills Bv, Beddington Bv, Centre Street, Stoney, 14 Street and the airport
- Quiet
- All houses are <18 years old
- Not under a landing zone
- Handful of golf courses nearby
- Catholic K-9 within community
- Racially diverse (see: good food nearby)
- Cheapest liquor store in the North
Cons:
- Filled with NIMBY idiots
- No upscale restaurants or bars within a 10m drive
- Home valuation increase is less on a year-to-year than some other communities
- Every ####### here owns 4+ cars and parks them all in the street because their garage is full of crap
- You're technically in the NE so everyone thinks you're in a slum til they come visit
- Proximity to Coventry Hills and Panorama, which are getting a rep for grow-ops and drug crime
- No C-Train for at least 10 years (though the Centre Street express bus routes are pretty great)
- 96 Avenue is 60 KPH for some ungodly reason

Ugh, that is ridiculous, though I love 96th for getting out to Deerfoot quickly.
Agree with most here, I'll add that there's unfortunately no public school for the kids.
