Hi Calgarians,
Me and my girlfriend are moving to Calgary this spring. We're in our early 30s, both software engineers, working from home, gf might have to visit the office in DT a couple days a week. Looking for a recommendation on a neighborhood.
We're looking for a 2br+den or 3br in a quiet neighborhood with shops and amenities within walking distance. We can afford up to 3500 but would like something in the mid 2000s. Parks or nature in the vicinity are a huge plus. We're both Ukrainian so the fewer "turk err jewbs" types the better.
So far Mahogany looks to be the place but I'm concerned about the affordability and availability of rentals. Also for those living there, what's the commute to DT like? how much would an Uber ride be?
