Ask Our Okotoks Realty Team - Which Okotoks Community is Right For You?
There is no "bad part" of Okotoks. Each community or neighbourhood has its own attributes that make it unique. Many have similarities but usually the distinguishing factors relate to the age, price and location you desire. You may choose the mature trees of Woodhaven over the newer homes with less natural foliage, or the privacy provided by alleys over the common fence with a neighbor. Contact our Okotoks Real Estate Team to help advise you and guide you to decide which area suits you best.
Cimarron
This subdivision is owned by Tristar Developments. It has a variety of lots prices and sizes up to 1/4 acre to choose from. Strong architectural controls are in place to insure the continuity from phase to phase and the Sheep River Pathway meanders through the community and is great for strolling, biking or running. The location of St. Mary’s Elementary and John Paul II in this area is certainly an advantage. Prices from $350,000 to well over one million.
Cimarron Meadows
This area offers more affordable homes on slightly smaller lots with less building restrictions, yet remains close to both the Catholic schools. Construction started in 1997 and is totally built out now. Prices from $300,000 to $400,000. Many feature alley access for future garages.
Crystalridge / Crystal Shores
The man-made lake is a wonderful addition to the area with lake privileges limited to Crystalridge, Crystal Shores & Crystal Green residents only. There is a limited supply of lots left and several showhome builders to choose from. The large lots of phase one, Crystalaire, have been downsized to soften pricing and allow for more price-point building but now many of the lots border the golf course and offer great views. The youngest public Elementary, Dr. Morris Gibson is situated within the district and is a great selling feature. Prices range from $300,000 to $1,000,000+ if you prefer to be on the "Lake".
Downey Ridge
Excellent access to schools and the recreation center have always kept re-sales strong. Many homes have mountain views with some backing to walking paths or parkland. The sizes and ages vary dramatically depending on the location. Most homes have attached double garages. Prices range from $320,000 to $550,000.
Drake Landing
Okotoks fastest growing community at this time. It could be the "green" initiative that mandates energy star rated appliances, front loading washer and dryers, insulated water pipes, low flow toilets and restricted fixtures. It could be the enclave of 52 self sufficient (almost) solar heated homes. It could be the excellent location for commuters to get out of town or the diversity of housing options. The showhome builders and creative designs, aggressive pricing can entice every corner of the market while allowing you to live near and enjoy the views, walking paths and community spirit. Prices range from apartments starting at $220,000 to townhomes starting at $250,000 and dream homes at any price. View Okotoks Realty homes for sale in Drake Landing!

Mountainview
Okotoks' newest subdivision is well underway! The showhomes are built and the buyers will come. This area features homes starting at $400,000.

Suntree Heights
Phase two of the village, all the cul-de-sacs and crescents are connected with a series of walking paths and parks. The large lots still exist, but most of the larger homes will fill them up. A limited number of walkout basements, some great mountain views, and great continuity of construction without repetition are some of the attributes. Prices from $350,000 to $550,000.
Suntree Village
This was our finest subdivision throughout the late 70’s and 80’s.
