Looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and want to live somewhere smaller, more easy to commute around town, and cheaper to live in and a slower pace of life. I'm early 40's, work in restaurants, single guy without kids. Born and raised in a small town north of Edmonton, lived in AB and BC. Been in Calgary for 2 years and hate that I spend a good part of my day getting to and from my job.

I liked the size of Victoria, but could do smaller. Checked out Lethbridge a few years ago (and wish I didn't) So far I'm considering Medicine Hat, Camrose, High River.

What places would you suggest having a look to settle down in?
