where near to calgary
I am looking for some good place to live in Alberta....may be Calgary outskirts...hopefully property there will be reasonably priced.
[/list]
Based upon internet info it appears that Calgary property rates are very high, higher than Toronto rates, so basicaly want to avoid calgary city. To begin with I will not be working in Calgary, but my wife has more chance of employment in Calgary...so this seems to be catch 22 situation here.
Thanks for your time

I will always recommend Cochrane to live...basically because it fits our lifestyle...visit www.cochrane.ca for more info.
Other places to live, are Bearspaw, Springbank, Bragg Creek, Okotoks.....Strathmore, Airdrie, Some of these areas may well offer employment opportunities for your spouse, but like you said Calgary is the best option, and all of these areas are approx 30 - 45 min commute to downtown Calgary.

Ok we'll take his word for it (he drives like a madman )
