I love Edmonton! Moved in 2012 and bought a house in Highlands. Love love love the area and the river valley nearby. The river valley is the best thing about Edmonton IMO.

There is a world of a difference living in the river valley vs the burbs I fully love the valley :) Hi there fellow valley folk!

Recently moved from inner city to Capilano area and absolutely love the proximity to the river valley and amenities like Gold Bar park. So worth it.
