"Heartland has been home to us for over five years, two babies, and coming up on one move. We decided to build a new home with Pacesetter in Heartland because we have fallen in love with this community. We now have four children who love roaming around, going from park to park on their bikes, grabbing a slushie from the corner store, and gathering up all their neighborhood pals for a friendly game of manhunt. We are a part of the community Facebook page which means you will never have to worry about leaving a much-loved toy at the park, or that your mail was delivered to the wrong house. Building with Pacesetter has been such an exciting adventure! Can’t wait to get our keys in a few short weeks!"

"My fiancé and I knew we wanted to live in Cochrane after renting here first. We fell in love with Heartland and knew eventually we would want to settle down and buy here. What drew us in most was the view! The mountains look gorgeous and just makes us feel at peace. We love that it’s only 15 mins to Ghost Lake and 30 mins into Waiporous where we camp and quad. It’s also so close to Kananaskis and Banff, perfect for outdoors people who don’t want to pay an arm and a leg to live. Plus, the streets here are super wide and the community itself is just so beautiful to go for walks through, we love all the paths they have built throughout. We loved dealing with Excel Homes and would highly recommend anyone to use them."

"What makes this community so great is the people, who care for their neighbours and are always willing to help. There are a lot of children, which also makes it wonderful for the kids to play and interact. We decided to live in this community back in 2014 because of it not being in the center of town yet still close to amenities. Plus, we are close to the highway and able to exit to the mountains right away. Now that we have the railroad crossing we are able to enjoy bike rides and walks along the river. We absolutely love this neighbourhood and that shows because we moved from our first home to another home on the same street."

"We have lived in Heartland for almost two years now and absolutely love it! It is the community we have always dreamed of living in! Even when our house was being built and we didn’t live in Heartland we would make the beautiful drive out here from Calgary just to come play at the park or walk the neighbourhood. The community is quiet, the train adds a nice touch and is barely noticeable. There is such a tight knit family feel here and we can always rely on our neighbours for anything! Our kids have friends on every corner and there are plenty of pathways and open spaces to walk, bike, and play."

"The name Heartland itself touched us because the word heart has a lot of meaning; it is love, it is caring, and it is understanding the feelings of others and ourselves. Living in this community makes us feel really comfortable as we are surrounded by scenic views and friendly neighbours. Our house is our dream, a corner lot where we can enjoy the sunrise. As filipino immigrants here, we are very thankful to choose this community in Cochrane. When we saw the area we felt that this is it for us, the beginning of our family starts in Heartland."

"We moved to Cochrane from outside of the province almost two years ago. We lived in a rental while deciding on where to make our permanent home in town and came across the neighbourhood of Heartland. From the first moment driving into the community to visit the show homes, we immediately felt the quaint charm. We noticed it was a very family oriented neighbourhood, where we witnessed people waving to one another, children playing at the parks and neighbours chatting in the streets. We love the look of Heartland and then fell quickly in love with the feel. We had found it...'home'."
