Rural Lifestyle

Acme is part of the Wild Rose Region. Many residents and business owners choose to locate in the Region because of the safety and security of small town living. As indicated by the below table, crime statistics are substantially lower in the region than typical of a larger metropolitan center like the City of Calgary.

Acme offers residents rural community values and an affordable country lifestyle close to the amenities within the region and the neighboring metropolitan centers. Despite favorable economic growth, it’s still very affordable to buy a home and live in the Wild Rose Region. The region offers the most affordable local utilities, based on comparison with Calgary and area utilities. In the Wild Rose Region, local utilities (water, sewer and garbage) are approximately 26% lower than the average of communities in and around Calgary (Benchmarks Nichols Applied Management, 2000).
