Lived in both several years. Edmonton has way more snow and moisture Calgary dryer and sunnier I find edmontonians more friendly. Not much for lakes around Calgary but obviously mountains. Both have terrible politics lots more druggies in Edmonton now. Calgary getting worse trying to catch up
Okay sure Calgary is better. That is what you wanted to say. But there are many people who love Edmonton ❤️ Please don't make comparisons. There are still people who cannot buy house in Calgary due to increases.😢
I spent 10 years in Edmonton, and a bit more in Calgary. Unless your career takes you to Edmonton (ie some trades pay a lot more there), Calgary is better. Better downtown. Better road system. Mountain get always. Cleaner. And, the winter is much milder. 8:40
I have lived in both - first Edmonton for over 20 years and then Calgary for 10 years. My mistake was not moving to Calgary sooner. Being an hour away from the mountains is a huge plus for hiking, for skiing or just for a drive. But there is much more to Calgary than that - better LRT, better airport access to the rest of the world, and closer to Vancouver. However, one thing that Edmonton has that is better than Calgary is the University of Alberta - rated 18th in North America compared to 58th for the University of Calgary. As it is, I am in California now for over 20 years, and while I miss being in Calgary in spring, summer and fall, I do not miss the winter and freezing almost all the time. There is no rust on my vehicle, have never plugged it in, and have never had to drive on snowy roads unless traveling to Lake Tahoe in winter or driving to Canada also in winter.
I’m moving from Edmonton to Calgary. My experience is Edmonton’s housing market is very slow and Calgary is very fast. Edmonton is a great family city for average income earners (40k-120k). You get newer homes and nicer looking suburbs because they have newly constructed amenities. My house in Edmonton is 2,400 square feet and new in a moderate new build neighbourhood for 650k. The house I’m moving into is 25 years old 1,800 square feet and 750k. Calgary is great for the mountains and professionals. If you are an average income family who wouldn’t use the mountains, Edmonton. If you are a high earning professional who likes the outdoors, Calgary. At the end of the day Oil and Agriculture run the province. Edmonton has the oil and gas services companies, Calgary is the headquarters for the oil producers. It’s very much a blue collar (Edmonton) and white collar (Calgary). Tech is re-locating to Calgary because of our low tax rate and better living conditions for employees vs Toronto and Vancouver.
I live in Edmonton, for s very long time I have been in Calgary, sorry but I prefer my city,and no were not blue collar wwere are a mixture of both, like calgary is. No different. As far as the maintains, I was born between ocean and mountains, so I don't care really.
@@modestacattaruzza7400 how is edmonton for international students in 2024 ? What about a part time job situation there ? Is it facing a crisis or can i find it within 2 months any part time jobs
@@learnerents2861 I think in my opinion is really good. There are many universities and colleges, such is the university of Alberta, grant macewan university, Concordia university, and much more. You also can go on line for info and you will find it. I remember that every city has the good and not so 👍 it's like that no matter where. I truly love my city it has everything one wants. Hope I helped.
If you move to Calgary you have to be ok with living with americans and american ideology. Calgary is not more diverse. Calgary is Conservative Edmonton is not.
I have lived in both cities and prefer Edmonton. With our ring road system (not perfect) is pretty good. I also visit the river valley in numerous areas from Devon through to Fort Saskatchewan and it’s amazing. They are both good cities though. Calgary is always crazy windy. I lived in NW.
Edmonton public transit is horrible. Since the latest "update" it has turned all commutes from 20-30mins into ~1 hour commutes with transfers. We also have a bad meth problem and it shows in our transit.
Edmonton has better outcome for future climate change more water and less drought in future Calgary is going to have worse drought and water shortages and very little rentals. The glaciers supplying galgaries water are drying up We chose Edmonton
We actually have a couple past chefs on our team. If you want to chat more and your planning on buying a place let us know www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/
Calgary is by far better for a cook/chef. Why? Because (when I lived there) Calgary has about twice as many restaurants per capita than Edmonton, and they are far more interesting for both the customers and the staff that work there.
What about healthcare ? Is it the same or is one better ? And how do they compare to Toronto? This is another thing you have to consider. Especially people like me willing to move from Toronto for work. Please answer
Airdrie and Calgary don't have that much of a price difference for the same comparable product. Me and My wife purchased in North Calgary as the new Airdrie Communities were at the same price point or were even more in many instances.
Calgary is still underrated. However gloomy days are passed. Hope they can keep working on job diversity and attracting businesses. What I can say from my experience, culture is changing significantly with younger and more educated people now if you just compare to a decade ago.
Which city will be good to go in terms of part time jobs and accommodation for international students ? Can you mention a few ? And what about edmonton?
If you're moving from the GTA or Lower Mainland and are considering either Calgary or Edmonton, then Calgary is the clear winner as the housing costs are more in Calgary than Edmonton, but are way lower in relative to the GTA or Lower Mainland. If you're moving from Winnipeg or Saskatchewan then Edmonton might be the better option as it's a much larger city than those two cities but the housing costs are much lower than Calgary. Calgary has the better scenery as its closer to the rocky mountains, Calgary Airport flys to much more major international destinations, Calgary weather is milder,...so if you can afford Calgary than I'd suggest Calgary over Edmonton.

@@learnerents2861 Edmonton is cheaper for living so that will help a lot of international students budgeting their expenses. Calgary is the main airport in Alberta if you travel by plane a lot to international destinations than that is a large consideration as well. I know a UK couple that used to live in Edmonton that moved to Calgary because of the Airport due to the layovers to and from Calgary when connecting to Edmonton.
@@rsk248 I am more worried about part time jobs and accommodation as I am coming there as international students . So , I wonder which will be good among these two.
For me I absolutely have to have access to mountains & outdoor adventure in wilderness. Right now live in the lower mainland of BC, will never be able to afford to buy here. Maybe one day will go on a road trip & check out Calgary and nearby towns close to the mountains
I would say Edmonton has much more - remember, Calgary is at about 3800-4000 foot altitude vs Edmonton at about 2700 feet, and because of that altitude the air is thinner and cooler - something mosquitos don't like.
Both bad choices. The violence there is off the charts. I always get dirty looks and racist comments made towards me. And forget about public transit, it is an absolute nightmare. Cant wait to move home to Nova Scotia next year
Wow. I’m surprised to hear this and sorry that has been your experience in Calgary and Edmonton. Not every community is the same and it can depend on where you live but I hope you are able to find somewhere you feel accepted and safe! Thanks for commenting and watching!
Lived in both several years. Edmonton has way more snow and moisture
Calgary dryer and sunnier

This isn’t made to make anyone feel bad. If you aren’t from either city, you will soon learn there is a ‘battle of Alberta’ always going on 🙌

Edmunton or calgari... Iam lager working l think so edmont
Either way let’s chat here and we can connect to what options work best. www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/
I dont agree that Edmonton is easier..simply based on the facts that ive gone to the east side of the city that was a "NW" address
Oh no!!! That's no fun at all... 🚘
If you move to Calgary you have to be ok with living with americans and american ideology. Calgary is not more diverse. Calgary is Conservative Edmonton is not.

Thanks for sharing, and yes depending on where you live in the NW it can be windy.
That was an excellent comparison!!!

Good information to help those on verge of moving. Other considerations would be schools, employment opportunities, rental costs and weather.
Edmonton < Calgary
Hey can somebody recommend which city better for cook/chef? And where are more the best restaurants?
We actually have a couple past chefs on our team. If you want to chat more and your planning on buying a place let us know www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/

Very biased info, because of obvious reasons
How so? What would you say is biased and incorrect?
What about healthcare ? Is it the same or is one better ? And how do they compare to Toronto? This is another thing you have to consider. Especially people like me willing to move from Toronto for work.
Please answer
Between Edmonton and Calgary?
For sure not
NE and SE
Calgary
Who much edmonton 2+1 rent room.
These too HD vids make inquiries to your team a lil intimidating 😅
Do you accept low budget buyers?!?
We can absolutely help www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/ let’s chat
Good to know , I wonder how about a Airdrie
Airdrie and Calgary don't have that much of a price difference for the same comparable product. Me and My wife purchased in North Calgary as the new Airdrie Communities were at the same price point or were even more in many instances.
Airdrie can be a fantastic option, depends on what you’re looking for www.chamberlaingroup.ca/contact/ let’s chat…
Calgary 💪🤠
🤠
Would love to know the differential in the economic opportunities (jobs, industries, etc) comparison for both cities.

What I can say from my experience, culture is changing significantly with younger and more educated people now if you just compare to a decade ago.
You hope, but that hope has diminished since Gondek got voted. Liberal Puppet.

@@learnerents2861 well, I can tell you, Calgary doesnt want educated or experienced. Only diversity. If you're White, good fucking luck.

Good points, however those from Winnipeg or Saskatchewan are still looking here too. It really depends on what you’re wanting in a city.
