Really insightful video, Zachary! Appreciate the balanced perspective on living in Calgary. It's refreshing to see a realtor honestly discuss both the pros and cons of a city. Your points about the weather, economy, and transportation were particularly eye-opening. Looking forward to more content like this
Hi there,great video and to the point!! I’m thinking of buying 2 bed rooms condo in Calgary. Can you please give me approximately idea of sale price range with taxes and monthly maintenance fees? Also are the winters very bad in Calgary? As compare to Toronto and does it get better by March? Thank you in advance!! 🙏
Hi, nice to meet you! These are great questions but it really depends on your situation as each person is looking for something different. Let’s talk so I can understand what kind of apartment you’d be looking for and I can give you a better idea of price/what to expect. Can you send me an email at zach@liveinnercity.com ? As for winter, it’s tolerable. It’s not as humid so it doesn’t hurt as much but it does stay colder longer. By March it’s usually okay 👍🏼 I have an entire video on my channel about winters if you wanted to check that out as well 😁
I haven't stayed in Toronto during the winter but I've heard that it get's quite heavy snow storms - would you say the snow is heavier in Toronto than Calgary as well?@@hondah2o
thank you so much, really appreciate it! I'm based in Calgary so I'm not as familiar with those areas. If you'd like I can connect you with people that work there?
I think you could expand the list. I think that the reasons not to move to calgary are dependant on whether someone is a city person or not: lack of urban life, no museums/art galleries, not artistic/creative at all, very little independent film, far from other destinations except mountains, quiet suburban working town, cold/winter 8-9 months a year. I hate calgary and i grew up in edmonton and calgary. Both cities are boring for me but i am a total city person. I dont care about mountain activities whatsoever and i hate how suburban the city is. The city does not suit me at all but some people really like it and wouldnt like the cities i love. I wish my family wasn't in calgary but oh well.
No ocean park here in Calgary, animals are sleeping in Zoo during visiting hours, pretty boring place winter, colds, raining, less sunshine, no charging station for ebike in all parks
omg should you not be happy that people are moving to Calgary? there seems to be no pleasing you agents. You all complain about how bad the market was from 2014. on , then when it improves, you find a way to put it all down.Debbie Downers
I appreciate your comment and I want to clarify - it’s wonderful that people are moving to Calgary. My entire channel is based on helping people from other provinces and countries have a smoother transition to Calgary. I just wanted to create a video that helps people become aware of the cons of moving here as well so they get the full picture 😁
