Living in Edmonton | The TRUTH about Alberta's Capital City

I've lived in Edmonton Alberta my entire life so I wanted to share what it's like actually living here.🙂

Just like any city there are pros and cons 🤔

Here's the cons:

1. Edmonton's weather can be absolutely brutal. We have long very cold winters, that seem to last forever. ❄️

2. Unfortunately Edmonton can be known for having some pretty bad drivers. A lot of people are not used to driving on snow and ice so it can take a while to adjust. Also no one's going to let you in even if you have your signal on lol 😡

3. Edmonton is located almost in the middle of the second largest country in the world. We are very landlocked here. So if proximity to the ocean is important to you I wouldn't recommend moving here.🌊

4. In the recent years Edmonton's crime rate hasn't been the greatest. We rank 20% higher than Vancouver and 40% higher than Calgary.✖️

Pros:

1. There's lots of opportunity to get a job in Edmonton. There's certainly no shortage of work and you can get a job in pretty much any sector. It's a great place for business owners!👩‍⚕️👨‍💼👷‍♀️

2. If you don't want to live in the big city there is many surrounding smaller cities and sub areas around Edmonton. Areas like St.Albert, Sherwood park, Beaumont, Spruce Grove and many others. These places can be a great place to raise a family and are all very short distances to Edmonton.👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

3. Edmonton has a very diverse culture. There is lots to do here and there seems to be something for everybody. We have people from all around the world living in Edmonton so it's pretty easy for anyone to make friends 🕺

4. You are surrounded by nature in Edmonton, there's lots of Crown Land, provincial and national parks within short driving distance of the city. If you enjoy hunting, fishing or hiking there's lots to do around here. 🏕️
