What to Watch For (The Honest Trade-Offs)
- No transit — car-dependent
- Highway 22 + Highway 8 commute = winter weather risk
- Limited retail — most shopping in Calgary
- Septic + well on most acreage
- Slower resale velocity than Calgary — acreage and ridge lots off Highway 22 can sit longer, so price and marketing matter more here
