Уважаемые форумчане, расскажите подробнее про районы Эдмонтона. Информация проходила, но хотелось бы более подробно что ли.

Пока определились посмотреть West and South West, поняли что категорически не стоит селиться на NE. Downtown (North and South Centre) тоже отпадает, не любители просто жить в центре :)

Are you sure you want to live in Edmonton? There are a lot of nice smaller size cities, as St.Albert, Sherwood Park, leduc, etc. That is all metro Edmonton, but nice lifestyle. Write me in privare, I will tell you nmore

There are two highrises near by - West Meadowlark village. I wouldn't rent there. Parking sucks. You can also find some townhouses for rent more west after 170st.

Oh, sorry, you probably didn't get this. I meant - don't choose Millwoods because this area is "big no-no" - too much crime elements, "brown" gangs etc. All I can say that West is better than YoungxFinch area in Toronto. It still ain't "Small Russia"

Personally I love living on the North side (west from 127 St and north from 140 Ave). Easy access to downtown, all shopping, new Cineplex and not that much of crazy traffic as on West-End... just IMO But I donno about schools in that area...

You will need to decide if you lke the feel of the big city, highrises, appartments or you want to have a townhouse with the backyard and the playground for kids. Personally, I like the feel of the smaller city better. Cleaner even, safer for kids to walk to school w/o crossing big roads. But is is all personal. If you used to live in Moscow, all our suburbs will be too boring. If you were born in the small city then do not hesitate and go to the satellite cities as Sherwood, St.Albert, etc., life will be more pleasant and slow.
Definitely Millwoods with the mixed poplation is not the best chouice. Some NE is ok, close to Manning, but again schools there are more crowded, as it is a new area. Less trees, more big box stores. Clareview is not so bad ( I do not mean near the LRT, but around, plus you will have acsess to LRT). Personally I would recomment St. Albert, as I wrote.

Мне лично тоже очень нравится St.Albert - там и живу. Хотя и прожила кучу лет в Москве, но люблю маленькие города - очень тихо и спокойно. И люди добрее. Но тут, конечно, каждому свое :)
Единственная проблема здесь, на мой взгляд, что тяжело без машины. Автобусы ходят только в Downtown, University, WEM. Мне как раз нормально - до универа 20-30 минут. Но если работать на юге Эдмонтона, например, то тяжко добираться автобусами. Но если есть права и будет машина, то это неудобство сразу снимается :)

We moved from St Albert because of "crazy traffic"(c Zero) from and to at the rush hours. But really liked living there. Much better place than Edmonton.
