West Valley Real Estate & Community Guide

Tucked away just west of Cowboy Trail is the quiet neighbourhood of West Valley. Access to paths, parks, commerce, and fun make West Valley an ideal location for a busy family or the family who loves to sit in nature. 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.
