Edmonton has 4 ski hills within the city limits. Kayaking, beaches on the river, and an amazing trail system both paved and not. Great for hiking or biking.
The only thing Edmonton has on Calgary is the Oilers lol. Edmonton to Jasper is 4 hours. Calgary to Jasper is only 40 minutes longer. Not to mention Calgary to Banff being a hour compared to 4 from Edmonton. In terms of things to do and accessibility Calgary wins everyday.
I love Calgary, lived here most of my life but I did live in Edmonton for a few years. Nothing wrong with Edmonton. It’s so much cheaper to live there, that’s a huge plus. Calgary has my heart though.
Very Calgary based view, have lived in both cities, Edmonton has a great sense of community, charitable giving and volunteer engagement amazing, arts, culture, festivals in Edmonton. Edmonton has trees and an amazing river valley, lakes in the area, better weather April to November and rarely hail storms, more to do in the city in winter months including WEM, iconic world known Oilers franchise does Calgary still have a team or did all the players leave? Suburbs and acreage living around Edmonton. Is St. Albert the nicest city in Alberta? Both great cities, move to Calgary, we are happy with the amazing quality of life, affordability and sense of community in Edmonton.
I've lived in both cities over 25 years. This is not even a question. Calgary of course. Thank goodness I moved out of Edmonton in 1999 when it was safe. It's not safe anymore.
Edmonton wins for me. Yes it might be colder and traffics worse but by the time I get out to Calgary it will be too expensive. If I lived in Edmonton I could at least afford a yearly holiday if I wanted. Calgary prices in a few years time will be too expensive.
@@andreblanchette9151Winnipeg was voted top 5 coldest cities in the world. Only city in Canada that is colder is Yellowknife. Winnipeg is too cold for no reason and riddled with crime.
I lived in Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary. Winnipeg and Edmonton are very similar. Calgary you don’t have to be bothered by the ‘hey buddy, got a quarter club’ while you’re walking downtown.
Always looking for reasons to choose Edmonton over Calgary. Calgary is more cleaner, seems friendlier, less rough. Edmonton feels like the exact same town copy and pasted and quartered up into 4 sections. I will say though, as somebody who does rotational work, having the affordability of living in Edmonton means you get to take holidays like all the time and it's not breaking your wallet like it would living in Calgary. Another plus living in Edmonton, it's closer to more lakes to go fishing and such. Sure, Calgary has the rockies, but you aren't going to take your boat there. Edmonton you can at least half justify owning your own boat and taking it places that are somewhat near by. Sylvan Lake, Lac La Biche, Slave Lake, etc. Edmonton area feels much less touristy, and that means a lot less people crowding up the things that Edmonton and the surrounding areas does have to offer. Banff and all that is nice, but when it starts to feel as packed as New Dehli, is it really enjoyable anymore? There's no doubt Calgary is the more preferable city to live in, but thank god it's not the only place in Alberta. Plus it's kind of weird that it doesn't have any trees around.
It is not true that Edmonton's international airport is out in some farmer's field. It is in Nisku, a location at the southern limits if Edmonton and the northern limits of Leduc. There's nothing rural about it unless its being compared to Hong Kong's airport.
You’re missing a whole lRT Line for Edmonton …. You failed to speak about he Edmonton International Fringe Festival being the 2nd or 3rd largest in the World. Edinburgh is the largest and Melbourne and Edmonton compte for second place …
@@ryangillardrealtor hmm you " get what you pay for".. ..so tell me what can you get in Calgary that you CAN'T get in Edmonton? So it takes a bit longer to get to the mountains, bottom line is I can enjoy the mountains anytime. So basically there is nothing that you have pointed out that prevents Edmontonians from having access to or enjoying the cultural aspects BOTH cities have to offer. Ultimately if the cost of housing continues to separate from the average cost in Edmonton $250k plus dollars in your pocket can buy one a whole lot of wants.
Calgary for sure. Only thing Edmonton has that is better is the Oilers and better arena. It may be cheaper in Edmonton but with the growth of Alberta it’s only a matter of time before it goes up.

I would choose edmonton because of so much sun 250 days of sun and the skies in edmonton so beautiful 😍
But it's colder

Calgary actually gets more days of sunshine on average than Edmonton
Very simple. Calgary is better overall, but Edmonton is more affordable, that means a lot.
I very appreciated all ur stuff keep doing great job
Thanks. If you ever need some real estate help just let me know.

I'm from Calgary but went to the WEM over the weekend. Oilers Jerseys everywhere. You don't see that in Calgary.
How do you feel about the safety in Edmonton. Too many ppl online share stories of how unsafe it feels compared to Calgary
I've lived in both cities over 25 years.
This is not even a question.
Calgary of course.
Thank goodness I moved out of Edmonton in 1999 when it was safe. It's not safe anymore.

Calgary is definitely getting pricier these days!
Calgary is very difficult to drive around especially during rush hours
Edmonton is $250K cheaper, so that's a big deal. Plus, way better hockey team and mall.
Edmonton is Alberta's Winnipeg!

All great points!
Edmonton for me 👍🏻

Calgary
The airport is 15 min out of the city.
Definitely Calgary no question asked
Same
Calgary has much more wind and devastating hail storms
@@jamesgannon2254 definitely true!
Calgary always get those destructive hail
Yeah we just got hit really hard about a month back.
Edmonton has a better hockey team thats a deal breaker
As much as it hurts me they are better at the moment.
Wow. I've always thought Calgary is the capital of Alberta. lol.
@@EriPages it should be lol
Calgary by a country mile, life isnt just about affordability, you get what you pay for!
Very true

I can't wait for the new arena in Calgary and to see how that area gets developed.
Calgary for sure
Yup!
There are much more jobs in Edmonton
@@olegkouznetsov2925 I haven’t checked the job situation recently
The traffic in Calgary is the worst…. So no thanks
It's definitely busier than it used to be!
Basing cities off of cities closest to them makes no sense
Why not? Many people are relocating to Alberta and comparing cities like Calgary and Alberta.
Calgary is fine but you are still living in alberta zzzz
calgary is better then Edmonton
I think so too
Very biased 😂
How so?
