Renting in Cochrane, AB
Cochrane sits in the foothills on the Bow River, about half an hour west of Calgary and noticeably closer to the mountains. It has grown quickly while keeping a compact historic Main Street, and the views west toward the Rockies are the reason most people move here. Renting means mostly newer houses, townhouses and low-rise apartments, with Calgary close enough to commute and Kananaskis and Banff closer still.
- Rocky Mountain views from much of the town
- About 30 minutes to northwest Calgary
- Historic Main Street shops and restaurants
- Bow River pathways and fishing
- Closest town to Kananaskis and Banff
- Getting around
- Cochrane runs a local transit service plus a commuter route to Calgary. Highway 1A and the Trans-Canada connect to Calgary in around 30 minutes and to Banff in about an hour.
- Walkability
- The Main Street core is walkable, with shops and restaurants clustered together, but the newer residential areas on the hills are car-oriented.
- The vibe
- Small-town foothills living within commuting distance of a major city. Popular with people who want mountain access on weekdays, not just weekends.

- Cochrane Ranche, Historic Main Street, Bow River pathway, Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, Ghost Lake, Kananaskis Country
