Cochrane Heights is uniquely situated on the north side of Cochrane, providing easy access to the town’s beautiful red rock path system, making it only a five-minute walk to Main Street, the Cochrane Ranche Reserve, and various parks and playgrounds. This community surrounds Cochrane’s original tri-schools: Elizabeth Barrett Elementary School, Manachabin Middle School, and Cochrane High School. With a football field separating Cochrane High from Manachabin and a basketball court separating Manachabin from Elizabeth Barrett, Cochrane Heights is an ideal place for families who enjoy spending time outdoors. Residents also benefit from quick access to Calgary via Highway 1A and an escape to the mountains through either Highway 1A or Highway 22, which leads to the TransCanada Highway. Nestled just far enough from the downtown area to avoid the bustle yet close enough to enjoy its offerings, Cochrane Heights provides residents with access to a variety of activities. One can easily walk downtown for a delicious ice cream cone from MacKay’s or explore the Cochrane Ranche Historic Site. Recently, Cochrane launched the Cochrane On-Demand Local Transit (COLT) system, enhancing public transportation and accessibility for residents. With nearby trails leading to natural views like The Grandfather Tree, Cochrane Heights truly balances urban convenience and rural charm, making it a fantastic community for families with schools catering to all ages, from preschool through high school.
