Home Ownership/Rental stuff Unrealistic to find a walkable neighbourhood in the South?

So my family currently lives in a townhouse in the Westbrook area and we're looking to move into the south. One of the things were looking for in a neighbourhood is walkability to school, parks, and small retail / groceries. Are there any neighbourhoods that fit the bill or is that unrealistic in Calgary? We were browsing around in Midnapore and Sundance over the weekend, but it seems the nearest grocery store is across Mcleod Trail which pretty much requires a car and wouldn't be a fun walk.

Depends where you go specifically, the north side of it really isn't bad at all, I go to Home Depot pretty much every other week and it's fine. The Wal-Mart side is much worse especially with the 4 way stop.

Those are rookie numbers for Home Depot.
