Quick answer: Auburn Bay is an established lake community in southeast Calgary with a residents-only lake, a busy residents association, a wide choice of homes and quick access to the South Health Campus, Seton's shops and Stoney Trail.

I'm George Brown, a Calgary REALTOR® with LPT Realty. Here's what buyers should know about Auburn Bay.

What it's like to live in Auburn Bay

Life in Auburn Bay centres on its private lake and the residents association, which runs beach access, programs and events through the year. The community has matured nicely, with established trees and parks, while most homes are still fairly modern.

Types of homes

Auburn Bay has condos, townhomes, duplexes and single-family homes, from starter homes to larger family homes near the lake. That variety makes it a community where people often move up within the same neighbourhood as their family grows.

Getting around

Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail are close, and Seton right next door has a hospital, a large YMCA, a library, a cinema and plenty of shops and restaurants.

Who Auburn Bay suits

Families and active buyers who want lake life with a more established feel than the newest communities, and buyers who like being near the services in Seton.

Buying tips for Auburn Bay

Factor in the residents association fee, look at how close a home is to the lake entrance and busy roads, and compare prices street by street, because lake proximity makes a big difference to value.
