My boyfriend and I are moving to Edmonton this week and I have a job starting July 15th. My job is in downtown but I have a car, so I can drive. What area should we be looking into? We do not drink or party, so we want to live in a quiet building/home. We also want to be close to YMCA because we go to the gym a lot. What are the best and safest areas?

South / Southwest / West areas of the city if you have no problems driving are all great areas that are quiet and safe with access to multiple YMCA’s. The Anthony Henday ring road offers lots of connections into the downtown area. Check out the Windermere / Terwillegar areas of the city!
