Edmonton 华人喜欢聚居在哪个区 ya?

What is your definition of SAFE?  Everyone seems to rate SAFE differently. People who live in the downtown do not view it as an UNSAFE area at all even not all other people would agree.  In Edmonton, any communities considered as SAFER will not lie within the 30 minutes to Oliver and 15 minutes to West Mall driving time range during rush hours, IMHO.  However, Edmonton is still a safer place to live.

第10区（Crestwood，Parkview和Laurier Heights）和11区（Glenora）的二手房是不错的选择。
价格40万左右的房子会是比较旧的。但区好，学校好，升值潜力好。5年后的价格应该在50万以上。但这点没有人能Garantee你。

% U! }$ d& I, F3 G% kThanks.  I haven't get to talk to a realtor, since I haven't arrived yet.  I did some research myself and the areas you suggested are definitely great choices, but probably won't be able to find something that is move-in ready with 400k?

this house is in a very safe area. 15 minutes walking to Superstore and new opening Luck market. 5 minutes driving to North gate T&T. 15 minutes driving to Oliver and <25 minutes driving to West Mall.

How about 22区的 Jasper park and  20 区的Aldergrove
Does 22区的( Jasper park )have a very good school (G1-9).

好区大都在南边，西南。按楼主的要求，显然不能住南边了。
