Right in the City or in the Suburbs?

Most people that are taking a look at their real estate options think about whether they'd like to live right in the heart of the city or in the suburbs. Many don't think about the other option of living in a small town close to the city. If you want to stay close to Calgary but don't want to live right in the downtown core, you don't necessarily have to settle for the suburbs.

Living in the suburbs can be a nightmare if you try to drive your car into the city for a daily commute. Living in the middle of Calgary can be tough as well especially if you are just learning to drive. It's much more relaxing and enjoyable to live just outside of town and enjoy the daily drive into work and then back home again. You won't have to deal with the endless lineups of traffic and the stop and go problems that go along with stop signs. You also won't have to keep your fingers crossed every time you approach a light signal hoping that the light will stay green until you've passed it.

Public transportation just isn't for everyone. If you love driving your car back and forth from work every day, you can still do it if you live in Cochrane. The commute into Calgary is quick and simple and a lot faster in general than the commute into downtown from most of the suburbs.

You don't have to get stuck in a predicament about deciding whether you want to live in the city or in the suburbs. There is another option out there for you if you work in Calgary. Cochrane is a great little town that offers all of the basic amenities you'd need to get by and then some. You'll have the freedom to decide whether you will drive your car to work every day and you'll be close enough to the city to visit for special events.

More and more people are looking at homes for sale in Cochrane for these reasons. As well, you'll have the added bonus of saving thousands of dollars on your new home purchase. The price of purchasing a home in Cochrane is much less than the going rate in the city. Here you'll have everything you need and you'll also have extra money in your pocket at the end of the day when you consider how much you'll save on real estate costs.
