For a community of 72,017 people, Sherwood Park packs quite the bureaucratic punch. While officially designated as a "hamlet," this Edmonton suburb has the population to be Alberta's sixth largest city. However, the tradeoff is a persistent headache navigating red tape and regulations. Crime rates are also reportedly on the rise, with domestic violence and impaired driving incidents spiking in recent years. Overall, Sherwood Park may appeal to those seeking a quieter, more affordable alternative to Edmonton, but they'll have to contend with a heavy administrative burden.
