Sunterra Heights Real Estate & Community Guide
Catch the sun in one of the newest communities in Cochrane! Located north of the 1A, just west of the Cowboy Trail, Sunterra Heights is a neighbourhood to grow with. Cochrane is one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada, but it still maintains its quaint, western-themed identity, as well as a gathering place for adventure activities. Walk downtown for the perfect ice cream cone, or visit the Cochrane Ranche Historic Site and explore history. Cochrane recently launched its Cochrane On-Demand Local Transit (COLT) system to provide public transportation to make the town even more accessible to its residents.
So Much to Love in Sunterra Heights

The schools in Cochrane are part of the Rocky View School Division as well as the Calgary Catholic School District. There is also a home school network, Cochrane Home Educators. There are eight elementary schools, one middle school, and three high schools. There are French immersion and francophone programs that begin in elementary and continue into high school.
