The neighbourhood
About Sunset Ridge
Sunset Ridge is the most complete master-planned community in Cochrane, laid out on the north side above Highway 1A. Two schools sit inside the boundary: RancheView School for kindergarten through grade 8, and St. Timothy Junior/Senior High for grades 9 to 12 under the Catholic district. That is a K-12 answer without a bus route.
The community is built around a six-acre stormwater pond that doubles as the central park, and roughly five kilometres of pathway that all seem to end at a view. The elevation gives south-facing Bow valley outlooks and western sightlines to the Rockies; the sunsets are a nightly event rather than an occasional one.
Housing runs the whole range — condos and townhomes through family homes to view-lot walkouts — and new phases keep show homes and builder programs on the ground while the established phases offer mature-street resale.
For a Calgary buyer
How it compares if you are coming from the city
For a Calgary family, this is the closest thing Cochrane offers to buying into a Mahogany or an Auburn Bay: one community that covers schooling, recreation, pathways and every price point from townhome to walkout.
The schooling is the part worth weighing carefully. Having K-12 inside the community is not something most Calgary communities can offer, and it changes the daily logistics of a family more than any finish package will.

6.3 km of public pathway across 62 segments — 6.2 km paved, 0.1 km concrete.

Questions
Sunset Ridge — common questions
Are the schools actually in the community?
Yes. RancheView School covers K-8 and St. Timothy covers grades 9-12, both inside Sunset Ridge.
Are the views real?
On the ridge and upper-slope streets, yes — genuine valley and mountain sightlines. Lot orientation decides how much of that panorama your windows inherit, so it is worth walking the specific lot.
Is it still growing?
New phases continue, which keeps new-build inventory and show homes available alongside resale on the established streets.
