The neighbourhood
About Cochrane Heights
Cochrane Heights is the town's first established family neighbourhood, sitting on the bench above downtown. Solid homes from the 1960s through the 80s, streets that curve for no commercial reason, and a canopy of mature spruce and poplar that a new community needs four decades to earn.
The housing is bungalows, split-levels and two-storeys, each one updated differently by whoever owned it, so the street reads as individual rather than repeated. Bench-edge streets look out over downtown, the Bow valley and the front ranges. Interior streets trade the view for quiet under the trees.
Schools are walkable, downtown is down the hill, and the Cochrane Arena at 609 Fourth Avenue North — the town's original rink — sits inside the neighbourhood.
For a Calgary buyer
How it compares if you are coming from the city
Think of the Heights the way you would think of a Brentwood or a Charleswood: the generation of Calgary suburb that has grown into its trees. Same kind of house, same kind of lot, with a valley view attached at the top of the street.
For a family coming from Calgary, this is the most plausible one-car household in Cochrane. Schools and downtown are both on foot from most of it.

Questions
Cochrane Heights — common questions
Do all the streets have views?
No. The bench-edge streets look over downtown, the Bow valley and the mountains — that is the original Cochrane view real estate. Interior streets are quieter and cheaper and sit under the canopy.
How are the schools?
Several schools border or sit inside the neighbourhood and downtown is walkable, which is what makes a single-vehicle household realistic here.
Is it worth renovating a house here?
New communities win on finishes. The Heights wins on lot size, mature trees, location and character — none of which can be added later. A good renovation holds its value because the setting cannot be reproduced.
