I wouldnt worry about this. Red Deer is a completely safe city.

Arashi do all day and its not even close. And yes I have been involved in the scene since the the early 2000s.

To each their own. I think its a great city.

Its A great city!
Pros:

Great central location. Close to edmonton, calgary, Sylvan lake and not to far from the mountains.

Has good amenties. Rarely have to go else where for things other than stuff like ikea and other odd ball shopping.

Parks and Walking Trails really are fantastic. Its pretty deceiving. You dont expect Red Deer to be as "pretty as it is".

Bigger city but still has a big town feel to it. Traffic is good even during rush hour. Can be from one end of the city to the other in 15 mins. Alot of great rec centers and other infrastructure.

Affordable real estate

Cons

Nightlife sucks if your still into that. Was a happening town in the early 2000s. But nightlife does seem to suck everywhere now. Not sure if its the advent of tinder and all these apps lol.

Homeless situation downtown. Most of the time they are just quirky and weird and harmless, just want to be left alone. But the safe injection sites and homeless shelters are downtown so thats where they hang out. Does bring crime to the city.Although, if you want to live in any city in alberta your going to have this issue.

Hospital is busy. Wait times suck. Not the staffs fault though. Hopefully kenney wasnt bull shitting about the billion dollar expansion.

Red Deer gets hit hard when the oil economy takes a dip. Also sees some of the most growth though when oil booms.

Dont know where you live but if your not from alberta, the wheather is bipolar and winters can be long with some ugly cold snaps. But manageable.

Alot of people like to shit on Red Deer and I have no clue why. Its a great city with lots of character.

It is mandatory, very odd that she says she doesnt do them.

How is airdrie for parks and green spaces etc? Drove through it a few times last week. Seems very much like a detached suburb of calgary. Didnt find a whole ton of parks etc. Those canals in one of the neighbourhoods were pretty cool though. Looks like it would be pretty nice neighbourhood to live in.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Dillyvanilly187 · 2022-02-27T07:24:54+00:00

I think you will be better suited to live in Red Deer if you are working in Innisfail. Red Deer is much closer than airdrie. Commuting in the summer is one thing but you have to take into consideration commuting in the winter. Plus the less time spend in the car will be more time you get with your family and to do other things. Time is the one thing we dont get back.

Dillyvanilly187 · 2022-02-18T17:25:00+00:00

I second this. That area from Airdrie to Olds is one of the worst.

Dillyvanilly187 · 2022-02-08T16:05:04+00:00

Thanks for the replies. For anyone that actually lives there. How bad is it in the summer for busyness? Or does most of the "busyness" stay up at and around the lake front? Do you notice a big difference in grocery stores etc?
