Nolan vs Panorama

[chinostyles]

Looking to buy a house but I'm torn between these two communities.

If the house price, square footage and specs are roughly the same, which community would you choose?

Panorama - better transit to downtown, schools in community, exterior finish on houses don't look modern

Nolan - looking like a high end neighbourhood, easy access to stoney trail and beacon hill but close to spy hill though

Probably Panorama, only because there are a ton of amenities.

Panaroma is so confusing with finding addresses. I'd say Nolan would be better

Mine as well move to airdrie if you buy in Nolan. Stick to panorama. It's a desired community...sh!t sells fast there.

Nolan isn't really that far off of panorama..

I find the prices at nolan quite high for some of the features and square footage they have.

Its not that much farther north.....

I also have found that the house prices are pretty high for nolan compared to say sage hill. I do not like it's proximity to the dump, though beacon hill is only 30s away!

Why not comparing to stuff in between i.e. Sage and Evanston too?
Are you looking at new build or existing?

Panorama.

[chinostyles]

didn't really consider evanston because of the 1 road in/out of the community

sage hill's community seems too small. I worry about the future house value. For example, Macewan and Sandstone. They're still relatively cheap neighbourhoods compared to something like edgemont or hamptons.

If you drive downtown it will take you 10 minutes less to get to Airdrie compared to Nolan Hill during rush hour. Panorama is about the same.

I agree house prices are pretty high for what you get. If you are focusing on re-sale Panorama is where you want to buy. It is an established community. Talk to any realtor and they will tell you that houses sell fast there. Take a look at Panorama Esatates if you want higher end homes.

I don't like these communities that are so far out (Sage, Evanston, Nolan, Skyview) because you have to pay crazy property taxes compared to a place like Airdrie and are just as far away from everything.

^^ sage and nolan used to be far away from everything but now that shaghanappi and sarcee are open, also quick access to stoney, I haven't had issues. Downtown for example, door to door 25 minutes in rush hour.

Yeah, I'm sure he's going to constantly get lost trying to find the home he bought there.

"Now where do I live again?"

Not sure if I just got used to traveling from sage but nothing is really that far away. I can get onto crowchild in less than 10, foothills hospital in 15-20mins, and onto deerfoot in less than 10.

No problem here!

I do agree that panorama has an established community but I wanted a newer/new house when I was looking.

[flipstah]

Panorama. More established.

You can still build in Panorama...there are still some lots left.

Most of the builders sites are out of date for what lots they have which is why I asked which builders. Perhaps the person who posted lives in Panaroma and could let us know what he/she seen.

[guessboi]

Excel - lots, Shane - probably a few left from what I know.
Not sure about Cardel.

[Dj_DLX]

Shane has one lot left
