Figure is for row homes and apartments combined, all bedroom sizes. CMHC rates its Cochrane vacancy estimate as low reliability, so we don't show it. CMHC's Rental Market Survey covers purpose-built rental buildings (apartments and row homes) with three or more rental units. It doesn't include basement suites, rented houses or condos rented by their owners, and rents in new listings are often higher than these averages. Rent and vacancy figures change; check the source for the latest release.
Commute and getting around
Most people get around by car. The main routes to Calgary are Highway 1A, and Highway 22 south to the Trans-Canada, and both can be busy at peak times. The Town of Cochrane runs local transit with fixed routes and on-request service, so check what serves the address you're considering.
Rental types you'll find
- Detached houses and townhouses
- Apartments and condos, including newer buildings
- Suites in houses
- Acreages and rural properties in the surrounding area (see the acreage guide)
What to know before you sign
- Check winter driving conditions on your commute route, especially on hills.
- For homes outside town, ask about well water, septic, road maintenance and internet options.
- Ask what's included in the rent and who handles snow removal.
- Do the written move-in inspection with the landlord.
For the rules that apply to every Alberta rental, read Alberta tenancy basics and the move-in checklist.
