Alberta's Best-Kept Family Secret (Not Anymore)
Located 38 km south of downtown Calgary along the Sheep River, Okotoks has grown substantially over the past two decades and is actively approaching city status in Alberta.
What makes Okotoks different from Calgary’s suburban fringe is that it’s a real town – with its own downtown, its own identity, important health services, its own high schools, and a cohesive community feel. You’re not buying “a suburb of Calgary.” You’re buying into a town that happens to sit 15 minutes from South Calgary amenities.
In 2017, the town annexed 1,950 hectares (4,800 acres) to secure a 60-year land supply – which is why Okotoks is in the middle of a multi-year new-construction boom.
