Finding a place in Calgary

I will be moving to Calgary soon from Toronto so I wanted to get some advice on housing.

Does anyone currently work and live in Calgary? What is the cost of living downtown like? Any good website or way to find apartments?

What is it like living in Calgary?

Cheers

I am working and living in Calgary right now. Downtown is decent if you are working and living there (which I assume you will be.) Free transit in the downtown core, and probably about 10-15 minute walk at the most depending on your condo/office distance. Condos and apartments are being snatched up really quickly when posted online ie. same day, so it might be tough to lock down a place before you actually get here, unless you are willing to put a deposit down sight unseen on a place. It sucks but that is something you might have to do, considering if you are in banking you probably won't have much time to find a place once you get here and start working.
