I like your videos and we would like to move away from GTA to Calgary next summer.
Could you suggest best public High schools, schools are the biggest parameter for us in buying our new home.
@@itzzzzi2 we will be coming out with a new report and video for top schools and areas to live for them in about a month… so make sure you subscribe to be notified when it comes out.
@@ChamberlainGroup I will be eagerly waiting for the report. Thank You 🙏
@@ChamberlainGroup do we need to pay capital gains on primary residence ?
Even if sell our existing home and purchase a new place to live in the same calendar year?
What’s minimum time period one need to live in a hose to call it as primary residence ?
5 reasons for me to like Calgary.
1. Winter is not as cold as I thought
2. Really nice summer
3. Nice housing price
4. Banff is just on the corner
5. So many nice parks in city.
Honestly... this is why we love it too!!! There truly are so many parks, the winter really isn't that bad AND the mountains? WOW... Calgary is incredible!
@@ChamberlainGroup no I disagree..Weather is too chilly..even on sunny days its so windy that you just cant step out...Back to BC.. its beautiful here..
Lived in Vancouver...and its wet chilly..
Calgary is dry cold....but sunny
It has many activities in the winter
1. Depends on your original estimate. Calgary is cold!
2. Compared to where? Hawaii?
3. You get what you paid for. Why is it so cheap?
4. Around the corner? 7/11 is around the corner.
6. Parks much better in Vancouver.
Great for anyone with asthma if humidity triggers attacks. I love it here and have for 24 years. Only had 5 asthma attacks in all those years. Moved from Ontario where I usually had an attack every couple of months.
Lived there for a couple years due to work about 10 years ago from Toronto area. From my own personal experience, the best thing about Calgary was the people; amazing very nice friendly people. Found them more approachable than in Toronto.
Very true. 🙏🏼
Your content is gold. You make videos not for money, but for the good of the people. There are very few people like you. Thanks alot 🇨🇦 🍁
Appreciate it. We do still need to help people move in and around Calgary in order to keep producing these so if you know anyone we can help, that would be amazing! Send them our way! 🙏🏼
Thanks for another great video!!!
You’re welcome!
Hi Jared,
Been following your Chanel for some time, and was really certain that Calgary is a place for me.
With this Video, i know that Calgary is a place to come to.
Hope to see you soon in Person and you help me start my new life in Canada.
Best regards from Germany.
Thanks for commenting and watching Vladan! Let us know how we can help get you here!!! -Jared
Hahahahha! Nailed it! After 20 years in Ontario, I’m back and buying moisturizer and eye drops like crazy. Looking forward to our summer though - will be sooo much nicer!
It made me chuckle! The only draw back is the dry eyes I can handle the rest. Calgary is a great city to live. Coming from GTA for a better part of life and settling here for 9 years it is really enjoyable. Yes… there is a East and West culture and I do miss the Great Lakes BUT I have mountains! When you east from Calgary all you see in flat fields and when the sun set down it is breath taking because you see no skyscrapers. Ya this is the place to be…
The mountains are amazing! 🏔 ⛰ 🏔
Great video. We love beaches and have a property in sylvan lake. We ended up moving to Edmonton to be closer to it. So, if you want to be closer to lakes, Edmonton is the best place to be.
Interesting. Sylvan Lake is actually 1 hr 37 min from Calgary and 1 he 41 min from Edmonton. I’d say your as close living in either city. Now if you wanted to get to larger lakes like Invermere, BC you are 3.5 hours closer when living in Calgary.
Calgary may not be for many but I moved to Calgary back in 2019 from the Toronto area and I personally love it here, more laid back, but all in all I do prefer living here in Alberta, got fed up with all the stress of the east
I remember that June, or even a July, when a blizzard hit. It was so bizarre, and melted a day or two later, then it was 25 degrees again!
It was so crazy!
3 oot of 5 reasons about weather. Not liking winter essentially excludes the second reason about liking humid summer. Would love to hear something more indepth, a local sight!
Absolutely! Some are under impression that they are adding a value by enumerating many reasons - positive or negative; all these reasons could be summarized in 2 min. or less. too much blabber mouthing. phewy.
Apart from the lacking of lakes, you just gave me 4 reason to move to Calgary... :D Thanks.
💥 ❤️ let’s chat!!! www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/ we can help you get here!
Its the largest bicycle path system in North America, and to cycle downtown isn’t that bad, city does a pretty good job of cleaning the paths in the winter
Moved to Calgary from Winnipeg and 3 out of 5 reasons mentioned were also the 3 reasons why I prefer it in Calgary. Winter is not as cold or as long, summer is not as hot and it is also not as humid.
While Manitoba has a lot more lakes, it also has more mosquitoes during the summer months. So personally, not having that many lakes is a plus for me too.
Why else you you prefer it over Winnipeg?
@patrickfriesen2323 Winnipeg was a great place to live, and if it weren't for a job opportunity in Calgary, I probably would still be there. But personally, it is no contest. If the proximity to the Rockies isn't reason enough, I could think of a hundred other reasons as well. Shortly after we moved, we had a visit from some friends from Winnipeg, one family already moved to Calgary a year later, and another is also moving here soon, few others have expressed interest in doing the same too.
@@dok418 yes that is a good reason. I plan on moving out there soon and I’m from Winnipeg also. I have family that live in Kelowna so it’s way closer for me to get to them.
@patrickfriesen2323 there is a bit of white knuckle driving (for me at least) going up and down the mountains, but the drive does gives you a lot of great views.
Love calgary .. been here since 98 .. best city I’ve ever been to .. clean .. sunny .. warm people .. good jobs .. opportunities for all .. love it
All the feels right here! ❤️ thank you for commenting and watching!
@@Gloryboyquan you always have choices. If you want to be here, or anywhere in life, make the change but remember there’s consequences to every choice. Good or bad… consequences happen after every choice. 🙌🙌
Good explanation, I want to move to AB. Although Ontario is fun to live in, it has lots of fun places and delicious food but everything is expensive, I can’t survive here. My monthly expense is approximately around 2500 without shopping, and some people have even more expenses. I don’t have money left for vacation, especially since the flight ticket to China is way too expensive. Therefore, even though I live in Ontario but I don’t have a chance to go out. Another reason is our job, some of my friends work 6 days per week from 9-9 if they don’t work they can’t pay their mortgage. They don't even have time to vacation. Sometimes we can go out to the zoo or Canada Wonderland, I have gone there many many times. There are a lot of people and it's hard to park not just Wonderland is the entire downtown, take the bus, no parking space, but taking the bus took me about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get downtown, I guess I'm not an outgoing person. If I have some budget left, I won't live in AB all year, I can travel each year to get a one-month vacation to somewhere else that is warmer during the winter😂😂😂
Let us know if we can help. www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/
I didn’t like it there either , moved to Montreal and fell in love with it.
Montreal is hard to not love! Thanks for taking time to comment and watch.
#5 is a grasp & a half. the transit is better than any Canadian city & there are countless alternate paths that are foot & bike accessible. Go Chinook way it gets a little iffy but seldom do you need to go so far south (unless you live there obviously) YYC is huge but not uninhabitable if you don't drive. very far from it; it's such a warm & welcoming place. So if anyone reading this is thinking about moving here; DO IT!
Thanks for taking the time to comment… great points too!
Moved here in 2018, the thing i hate the most is if you love your car youll hate it here. So much gravel on the roads its like you are in the beach lol, windshield replacement and hood and bumper full of rock chips. Your vehicle can be 5 yrs old but itll look like it is 15 yrs old. And also just got hail damaged last year as well
Better than salt. Ontario full of rust buckets.
This Summer was a really hot summer as we've had a ton of 30+ degree days this summer...
We have indeed. Feels like each summer has more of these days than the last one.
I loved the weather in Calgary, lots of sunshine, 32 Celsius in the afternoon, 15 Celsius at night, no one I knew had an air conditioner. I remember BBQing on February 14th, it was 21 Celsius, good times, yeehaw!
Nothing like a winter BBQ!
But that Feb temp is a rare thing, too much winter and when the cold snaps hit it really sucks, I would rather be admiring daffodils and other flowers in Victoria or Parksville while maybe wearing a hoody and then going paddleboarding and golfing, Alberta winters suck.
Is it possible not to suffer from Chinook? How often does this wind come?
Exactly right!
Awesome video as usual, do you suggest any resources in Calgary which comes with fully furnished house as we are soon planning to come from Montreal and eventually buy a home there. Please suggest. Thank you
Hi! Me and my husband moved to Calgary in October last year from Kitchener Ontario, we even bought a house here. we are soon uploading a series of videos regarding Calgary and real estate here on our channel thebanjarayogi. Do follow if you would like some deeper info on the city and real estate situation here. Thanks
Unlike many other parts of Canada, Realtors don't help with rental properties in Calgary and Alberta. Finding a rental is typically done through kijiji.ca or rentfaster.com, which are the most popular sites. Even doing a google search for fully furnished house rental in Calgary will bring up the right results for you.
@@ChamberlainGroup makes sense, I'm on it already, thanks a ton ❤️
@@abhilash1237 absolutely
Wow, everyone of them is a deal-breaker for me. Beautiful city though. Thank you.
I'm in love in your country. Hope to lived Their.
If your living on the beltline is a car essential or are you going to be able to use public transport, E scooter etc ?
You could get away with it, but most likely you’ll find you may need a car still for outside of beltline. Calgary really is a driving city.
I had no problems not having a car in beltline.
I like how you talked about the weather first. The most important part lol
It’s what many people considering moving here talk about 🤷♂️ 😂
@@ChamberlainGroup I'm a little further north than you And ya I've seen videos talking about moving to Canada and no one speaks about the weather haha. It's like uhhhhh what?
I live in BC and never got time to see any lakes lol.
That’s too bad, as there are some incredible one in BC. Depends on where you live there too.
How about moving from Quebec southern Alberta ? Let say maybe two hours south of Calgary ? Not to far from the US border and not to far from the mountains ? Any nice little towns down there , with a good community ?
There are some great options. Let’s connect on email to learn more about pricing and other things to help point you in the right direction. Info@chamberlaingroup.ca
I have to be honest, I've been here 12 years and its not my preferred environment. I love water, good transit, 4 seasons.
You could always make a change. If you ever want to chat more grab a time to ☎️ here 👉 calendly.com/chamberlain-real-estate-group/15-min-call
Nice. Please make videos about calgary jobs
What kind of industry are you in? It isn’t our expertise but perhaps we can point you into e right direction.
@@ChamberlainGroup Actuatly i will come to calgary in next months . I had my own mobile reapearing shop. Is there a good place for that?
Dry skin, dry sinuses and dry eyes. Six months of winter with poor snow clearing on the secondary streets. It's a great town but it is far from perfect.
But who or where is 😉??? Maybe Hawaii is perfect 🤔 😂 🏝️ Thanks for the comment and watching!
Winter Edmonton is worse.
What’s the best way to meet people if moving there?
Find activities that you love doing and meet people doing it. Love sports? Join some leagues. Enjoy woodworking? Find a place to do and meet people there.
This too works for sales and growing a business 😉
People love being and working with people like them!
No place is easy to meet ppl anymore. Everyone is retarded and addicted to social media and themselves. Good luck. The world is collapsing into communist tyranny
number 5 doesn't apply. you don't have to own a car for a decent life if you live in downtown area and beltline area. those areas are really urbanized and you don't need a car for living.
Absolutely correct. Lived downtown for 14 years now, and Briarhill/Hounsfield Heights before that. Never owned a car. Totally doable. Especially since there are car sharing services you can use on the occasions that a car is very helpful.
Agree! I was thinking "What is he talking about?" Many areas are walkable/transit places, the best as mentioned is the Beltline area, I lived on 11ave and 17st, and in Bankview....also lived in Northeast and walked to the C-train....or Huntington Hills..I bussed to a lot of places with good schedules and routes. Calgary is big and spread out, but are you going to all of it everyday? No, you will be living in your own community and going to surrounding areas. Their trains are in four directions and have expanded over the years and cover long distances. If a person's work is on the opposite side of the city then a car is a better option especially in winter.
Don't really class 2 hours as a long ride I'm afraid 😊 some helpful info though
Pretty bad when a city with average house prices over $550,000 is "affordable"
Canada has some serious problems.
Yup .and it's going to get worse

Victoria is depressing, lack of sunlight. Too much rain
Lived there for 3 years n
@@annhart1453
Vancouver is a nicer city, but the weather is absolutely terrible in winter..
In Victoria, I didn't like the tent cities and junkies all over either, especially when they randomly punch you downtown... Or hit you with a golf club. Even had a junkie take a sh*t right infront of our apartment building!
Maybe it was a nicer city to live in 20 years ago, maybe even 10.
Victoria and Vancouver have really declined in quality of living and safety recently 😭.
Grande Prairie we have harsh winters, but no tent cities and junkies 👍🏻 and sun even in the winter!
Interesting. So for the last say 4 to 6 months, how many people are actually moving from other provinces or cities to Calgary? Is it true that home buyers are into bidding wars? But interests are rising .....
We’ve seen many people moving here and buying homes from other areas of the country.
Homes are a lot cheaper in Edmonton.
I wish I found this video in June...
Calgary is awesome predominantly because of its proximity to epic mountains. You can get your own Lord of the Rings vibes by staring at the misty mountains while you're busting you're ass at work.
Oh the misty mountains!!!
Landlords should also one of the reason.They say something else and do something else.I mean to say they ask rent first and tell everything included in that than start asking for utilities so they don't like to be on their words.This happened with me 3 times in Calgary.
That’s rough. Sorry you’ve gone through that. Outside of the Alberta Tenancy act there isn’t a set guideline on how landlords should conduct business. I can assure you that not all landlords act this way in Calgary. Thank you for watching and commenting and hope you are able to find a better property and experience for you in the future.
@@ChamberlainGroup This happened 3 times with me here in 5 months.I am so fed up with this that thinking to move from here.
''6-7 hour drive to a lake''...I can drive for 6 hours from Slovakia and I'll be on the beach in Italy lol

If you like a city that is 97% sunburns, far from everything, expensive, with a tiny downtown that gets empty at around 11:30 pm in the weekends. That is 5 hour flight far from every nice beach in Mexico or Caribbean or Hawaii .. then consider moving to Calgary
Thanks for commenting and watching. Can you clarify what 97% sunburns means? Not sure what that means. 🤷♂️
Downtown is hopping on 8th ave. mall, lots of places to eat and have drinks, it's packed.

What does "May long" mean?
May Long is probably may long weekend. It's Victoria Day Monday before May 25 of each year.
40 years and counting. Love it here. End
🙏🏼🙌👍
Spot on and why I am leaving - two unacceptable features...
1. Winter cold and wind
2. Car-centric city
And I am a 'snowbird' spending only half the year here. I ignorantly presumed that the warmest months would be warm enough. Nope, not at all. I spend six months in tropical countries so I am in shock every time I return. Junuary is reality. Summer heat? In 2021 it lasted about two weeks. Seriously! Regarding using the buses, the routes run N-S not E-W except in a couple of places, not late at night and follow circuitous routes. They run close to empty. But since owning a car doesn't make sense for only half the year (insurance, storage etc), Calgary is not suitable. Even my working poor friends own cars.
Quo vadis? Banana belt of Medicine Hat or Swift Current. Maybe even Moose Jaw or Regina. As a retiree I can live anywhere with cheap rents which BTW Calgary does not have.
Great insights…
Regina is NOT in banana belt. Nope nope nope. Moose Jaw neither.
May the YYC live forever
❤️
Don’t let any of these become deal breaker. You would never know what you would be missing. Especially if you love mountain climbing like I do. The blue sky’s, Oh. It’s a Godly place. But if you are not highly skilled or entrepreneurial it can also be a tough place to find a job and settle in.
Just opposite, thanks on more arguments to immigrate to Calgary...summers in Montenegro + 40C🙂
Nek si mu rekla sestro 🌹
Living in downtown toronto and thinking of property in Calgary. I would want a condo or townhouse close to lrt and lots of amenities. If not in the downtown core has easy to the core via transit. Where do you suggest?
There are lots of options and it depends on price point and a few other things. Feel free to email us at info@chamberlaingroup.ca or call 587-316-5400 and we can help create a plan. 🙌
Great place for building Land Art Projects. :D
There are some that are very odd. 😂
I live in Edmonton. We are far enough away from the mountains so it isn't as windy, not as cool in the evenings in the summer, and not the drastic fluctuations in weather during winter. Plus we have the largest parkland in North America. Our River Valley is 22 times bigger than NYC's Central Park! And yes, you can always VISIT Calgary. It's only 2 1/2 hours away by car. Calgary's advantage is that you are only an hour away from the mountains, if you like hiking/skiing etc. But again, did I mention our River Valley? Hiking and cross country skiing is great!
Oh... the good old Calgary or Edmonton is better than the other 😂 ... I was waiting for this comment to come up! 😉 ... Thanks for commenting and watching! 🙌
If by drastic weather fluctuations you mean the amazing chinooks we get with prolonged warm weather during the abysmal winter months, then yes... So painful to endure here in Calgary. As for cool evenings in the summer, no idea what that is... I've been to a desert aka Arizona and that's understandable but definitely not like that here. I haven't experienced much of the river valley but I know our fish creek park that extends around the city is spacious enough that I could go everyday and never run into other people. I know the debate is fun between cities but honestly only ever gone to Edmonton for work. Even my coworkers come here every year for our zoo which is better, stampede, food and music festivals, and of course for hiking and the mountains... No brainer sorry!
@@bananawammabama the Chinooks yes are an issue. The quick melt then the refreeze makes driving there the sh*ts, lol. I prefer the weather to stay more stable. And the WIND, omg the WIND!
Oh, and no protestors here still protesting mandates that no longer exist in Alberta. We are free of that here in Edmonton!
Did I mention the world class events we have held? From all the stadium concerts, U2, The Stones, and other huge acts who come to Edmonton because of our Commonwealth Stadium. The Commonwealth Games, the world track and field championships - both of these are summer Olympic caliber events - the Indy races, nation finals Rodeo, world triathlon, second largest fringe fest in the world, best folk fest venue, hockey dynasty, best hockey arena in North America. I think you guys held a winter Olympics once which was excellent btw. I enjoyed the John Candy movie based on it.
Ooh, that reminds me, SCTV with John Candy was shot in Edmonton too! Some great episodes with Edmonton as the backdrop. 👍
Hey bro which one has more long winter edmonton or calgary???
@@ahmadnawa7153 calgary has chinooks which is warm wind where Edmonton doesn’t. Would love to hear others thoughts.
Calgary sounds like metric Denver :)
Some have compared Calgary to Denver in many ways!
at 1:33 in you have lost me. I am laughing so hard. You love chinooks that bring your temps UP to 0 or -5? OMG that is hilarious. I have been to Calgary in mid winter and it was sunny but freezing. I could not handle that for 6 months. Having said that, I'm coming back in October so this could be interesting :)
You would die in Edmonton then, the ice and snow never melt, no chinooks...melts in spring that's it. So cold
If you’ve only visited for short times during the winter you may not have seen them. Whether you believe it or not it’s a real thing that is amazing!!! Hope you get the chance to experience them.
Calgary has one of the most successful urban rail systems in North America, one of the largest pathway and trail networks and a growing urban cycling system. At least a third of the city was built before the continuous bastardization of car dependency. Lot's of communities are very walkable and accessible for people who don't want to own cars. This is a very poor stereotype of the city
Thank you for taking time to comment Justin! It’s true that many communities have the walkability within the community and that the pathway systems are ever growing… for some, or many, whether it laziness or weather, choose to drive way more than commuting in other ways. For not owning a car at all, finding a location that has everything you need that you can walk to or have easy access to transit would be important. There’s options for all!
@@ChamberlainGroup Maybe I wasn't clear but by one of the largest pathway systems I mean the largest pathway system and over 1000kms.
Whixh year did you graduate from high school in Jared??😉

Don’t you find Calgary boring? Sometimes I feel Vancouver is a bit boring, and I am considering moving to Calgary because of the savings in rent and taxes, but I am afraid I will feel isolated. I am a single gay man. Thank you for your response 😊

There's lots to do in Calgary and it's more friendly than Van. Van is extremely difficult to make friends or date. Banff and Jasper a short drive away too, the mountains in the backdrop of Calgary's skyline are beautiful, and all the mountain parks not far away. I would visit Calgary and get a better feel for it.
@@annhart1453 solid advice!
It is a nice city
The only thing I don't really like is Chinook. Everything else you've mentioned can be tolerated IMO.
Chinook centre or chinook (weather) 🤔
@@ChamberlainGroup the wind that brings headaches )))
I want to make YYC work but the weather and climate is just too harsh. Born and raised near Vancouver. I love the rain, ocean, greenery etc… unfortunately I’ll be renting forever here.
I hate the rain in Hongcouver. And a lot of money for rent to be wet all the time.
I like Vic and parksville better, less rain.
I love calgary
So do we! ❤️
If you like gardening. You can't grow a decent garden here.
Yes, this is a big problem for me too. Growing season is waaay too short for most of my veggies. And it never really gets hot I get 1.5 harvests from one medicinal herb that in metro Vancouver I get 3.5

Calgary
Lions stand guard
Protect the bridge's past
As waters rush beneath my path
Chinatown greets me
As the bus speeds past
Art is everywhere if you look up
As the crowd look down alas
Oh Calgary, how you tease me
With your complicated downtown
I walk against the crowd
A mixture of pity and proud
Name-dropping conversations
and telephone sounds
Smells of cologne and brisket
BarBQing where deals and meals meet
Not far announcements
Of the upcoming Stampede
Security stands guard
Darkened doors silent Marquis
No one blinks an eye
On this busy street
Where secrets are spoken
I have walked several miles
Yet ended up where I started
As the bells announced
the trains going past
And I followed business
clones all dressed in black
Tailored uniforms
of financial pasts
I sat down craving the beer
Announced on every corner
Not taken over by oil Barron's
long renown for their behavior
Where bankers meet
White summertime
snow flows as the
night emperor knows
And his jester pushes his cart
Bottles picked all over the park
To pay the devil what he owes
Keeps what it takes and both push
For it's stakes are high
As they are prey to the
Lord of another kind
Songs and the media don't mind
Glamorizing the lifestyle
So many addicts
in the pinpoint of an eye
It's a cat and sewer rat's game
While cops drive on by
Not seeing the quick handshakes
At the speed of rattlesnakes
Just as their venomous bites
Finds another one to die

Don't move to Calgary if you like a mall with 5.3 million Square feet that comes with scating rink, pirate ship, wave pool, hotel and many other things inside the mall for kids like amusement park ect. That is 3 hours away in Edmonton Alberta. If you don't mind the 3 hour drive to Edmonton then move to Calgary.
I think if someone wants to live by West Edmonton mall, they should live near there too 😂
we moved to Calgary in 1996 biggest mistake ever, sold finally in 2002 and to a loss of over $100,000 just to get out of there
Hopefully you’re in a better place that works well for you now 😃
How the hell did you lose money?
Sorry, but how are these valid reasons?! Asking for a friend.
Thanks for the comment and watching. How are they not valid? What would you say are your reasons to be or not be here in Calgary?
With your personality and presentation skills even if Calgary is not for you, you might end up in Calgary.
Crime rate is high police say it dangerous as hell.
In Calgary?
Calgary police said that. Canada got a major drug probable everywhere. Dont' use a ATM they warmed after 6PM. That was in 2019@@ChamberlainGroup

I lived in Calgary for 3.5 years. It's the worst place to live. Such a cold place it is that socks. It's a Damn terrible place when it comes to employment and weather. All the economy is just oil and gas dependent and when oil prices drop.... There's no way a person finds at least a living job.

This is the most confusing comment i've seen on this video. Did a robot typed this comment?
@@ChamberlainGroup above comment doesn't make any sense, you need to explain here better.
The top comment makes no sense at all whatever that person is trying to say?
What dumb 5 reasons.3 out of 5 are about weather and 4th is lake and 5th is a car lol. Who don't want to own a car anywhere is thia modern era
Obviously weather could be a big barrier for some 🤔 ❄️ ⛄️ ☀️ ⛄️ 🍃
@random videos, you miss the point of the video. Sad for you. Great job by the vlogger.
@@ChamberlainGroup i agree but u could've make all the points about the weather in one reason.

@@ellegreen7123 and what's the point? I lived my entire life in calgary and my take on the video was my genuine reaction.
Dont live anywhere. Just buy a ticket to mars from Elon
We’re in 🙋♀️🙋🙋♂️
Actually calgary is pretty damn good for not owning a vehicle and you even mentioned one of the reasons…. There are A TON of paths/bike paths
It’s very true!!!
agree, car is good in winter though.
