Condo life has worn thin, and I am at the stage where I cannot do it anymore. Of all the options out there, Cochrane seems to be where I really want to live. I am looking at building a house there, and I was wondering a few things if the CP braintrust can help.

- What are taxes like there?
- What new areas should be avoided?
- What is the typical commute time during AM rush hour from Cochrane city limits to Calgary city limits between 8 and 9 am?
- Do you like living there?
- Do you regret it, or have you embraced leaving the big city?

Most people I have talked to that live there, absolutely love it, and I have been kicking around this idea for 5 years. I work in the NW, and cannot see moving employers in the forseeable future. Any input is appreciated, as this is going to be an expensive, decision.
