genius move. Wish I could have convinced my better half ahead of us embarking on an inner city build. Saving 8hr round trip to/fro the lake cabin sounds amazing.

edit: serious question (also serious threadjack) - do you find there are any downsides to lakefront? Chestermere? Schools?

No real downsides to the lake that I can see. A whole other set of household items to maintain though. And your backyard now becomes your frontyard so to speak, so you need to keep it looking nice.

thanks. We don't get away on vacations as much as we would like, and all of my Toronto friends seem to hate the city and their homes so much they just want to leave every weekend. We decided we wanted a home we wanted to hang out in, rather than always trying to escape.

I know someone backing on to Auburn Bay Lake and justified it the same way. Good choice.
