I need opinion about Edmonton. Which part of the City are good and safe to live. I know that every city have the bad part of the city that you should avoid.
Does the Edmonton have it?

Almost Canadian

Of course it does but give us a helping hand - tell us what you like/dislike and we might be able to point you in the right direction

Places like Norwood, Beverly, Hermitage, Clareview and Londonderry - communities in the northeast quadrant of Edmonton are best avoided. The southwest is generally rather nice. Castledowns on the north side of Edmonton may be worth considering. The area immediately west of downtown is nice, the area immediately east (and northeast) of downtown is crappy. The area just west of the University of Alberta is also nice. Millwoods (in the south east) looks good because it is a relatively new community but it has a lot of crime - gang related shootings.

Sherwood Park is nice, but it is just outside of Edmonton.

Naturally, the better areas are also more expensive. I would pay the extra cost to be in a better area - it's worth it.

If you specifically want IN the city, then i'm not the best person to answer as we hardly go in, but the rule of thumb is to avoid the north around the Yellowhead Hwy.

If you fancied a short commute, then areas outside the city limits that are lovely are: St Albert, Beaumont and of course Sherwood Pk. Leduc is OK but suffers with aircraft and railroad noise a bit, depending on whereabouts you are....and its close to Nisku (yukky industrial area)

They are currently working on a huge new ring road around the city which should make skirting around one side to the other a bit quicker.

I am not very picky person. Definitely downtown will be to busy for me because I am expecting mom and I’m looking a place where it will be safe to go for a walk with a baby and maybe some small shopping center or food store in neighborhood will be nice. So this are my small expectations.

Actually Downtown Edm isn't a bustling hub of activity.....its very quiet as centres go with not many pedestrians and shops (not on the surface anyway, the shops are all underground!)
Old Strathcona is where you see the people, and the array of weird and wonderful little shops.........and of course the majority of the city's nightlife.

Glenora area, very nice, very expensive, good schools.
