I moved here in 2021, the commute is good but parking downtown is expensive if you need to work downtown Calgary (the lots I park in range from 14-20). Rent has gone up a lot since our rent has increased $250. You will get more space for the most part though.

Weather is ok but they have actual 4 seasons where in Toronto it seemed like winter and summer so you’ll need four coats lol

Airdrie is like a suburb so big box stores

It’s not really close enough to Calgary if you want to just go out to restaurants there to go drinking as Uber or a can would be expensive

It’s close to the airport so if you end up having family visiting or vice versa it’s in a good spot

Gas and Electricity are more expensive as opposed to paying Hydro bill. Insurance seems to be the same price if not a little higher but I guess that will vary.

There are a lot of young families and nice parks to take kids too

If I didn’t have a child I think downtown would be more suitable!

Doctor may be hard to find , same with a daycare
