It was just a reference to a recent incident...I'm hoping I never run into those anywhere.

It's also ridiculously expensive to live around there as well. I feel the best places to live are in the South side of the city. Even if Riverbend is too much of a commute, or too pricey, I'd try and find something south of the river. You can come and enjoy the pathetic Edmonton construction scheduling!

The most crime ridden neighborhoods are up north (Abbotsfield), and even downtown can be quite dangerous at night. Although I have lived in Edmonton/Calgary/Fort Mac for all of my life and I have never been involved in any sort of criminal matter. For the most part just don't go out at the wrong time, or hang out with the wrong people and you'll be fine.

Oh and WEM sucks. I can't really think of many people that even bother going to that mail unless they are runaway teens, wayward youths, tourists, or criminals. Heck there is just as many murders/crime outside WEM then many other dangerous areas in the city. Southgate Mall is the best mall in the city by far; so many hot rich chicks, it will make your head spin.

Nice city. You'll enjoy it, except for the cold winters. I love Edmonton.

I live in Callingwood, it's really nice, quiet, has all the amenities and is close to WEM if you need something.

Ugh the WestEnd. Pretty much your entire social life has to be on the west end then. I was trapped there a few Saturday's ago and the cab companies acted like it was Serbia.

I liked living south of the river during my time in Edmonton. OP, do you want to live alone? Is that why you're looking for cheaper places in the north?

Yup. Moving up there for a single year internship (which pays about 17/hour on the assumption of a 40 hour week).

Here's a tip about living in Edmonton:

Always wear a condom.
This is true in any city not just #####$ville.
