Work in Calgary, live outside city

[Phanman]

I used to live in Airdrie and the commute to work to barlow trail wasnt bad 30-40mins. But what killed me was all my friends and family lived in Calgary. So after work if I wanted to go out and do whatever, I would have to stay in calgary till I was ready to go home. So technically I lived in Calgary, but only went home to Airdrie to sleep. If you wanted to go home and rest for a few hrs it wasnt worth it to drive in to work, drive home, drive back in to play, then drive back home to sleep.

Very inconvienient for me.
Not bad if you actually plan to "live + play" where your house is.

That's my plan if all works out, we have really good friends moving to the same community and family can come to us but there's not a whole lot of family in Calgary anyway and we hardly see them.

when I lived past Strathmore it would take me about an 45 to get into downtown....but that was with me...um, going a tad faster than the posted speed. Even during crazy winter storms it only took about 30 minutes for me to get from my house to the city...

Good news as Strathmore is close to the same distance and I'll be using the same roads, although I think I might take it a little slower in the winter

I live in Airdrie and drive in every day down to the Foothills industrial area.. takes me 25-30mins (I'd rather not get into snow/blizzard days.. haha) Drive is fine for me, as I work 10-630pm, so most of the rush hour traffic is gone by those times on my route (Deerfoot or Stoney Trail, depending on the day).
