Why Buyers Love Auburn Bay

Auburn Bay was designed as a master planned lake community, meaning the neighbourhood was built around lifestyle, recreation, and family living.

Key features of the community include:

43 acre freshwater lake with a private beach

Year round lake activities including swimming, skating, and paddleboarding

Beautiful parks and playgrounds throughout the neighbourhood

Extensive walking and biking pathways

Residents also enjoy access to the Auburn House residents association, which organizes community events, recreational programming, and seasonal activities throughout the year.

For many families, Auburn Bay offers a lifestyle that feels almost like living at a resort while still being in the city.

Auburn Bay Calgary Community Map

Auburn Bay is located in southeast Calgary, just east of Deerfoot Trail and south of Stoney Trail. The community is centered around Auburn Bay Lake, a private 43 acre freshwater lake that provides year round recreation for residents.

The neighbourhood sits next to several other popular southeast Calgary communities including Mahogany, Cranston, Seton, and McKenzie Towne.

Major access routes for Auburn Bay include:

Deerfoot Trail – providing direct access north toward downtown Calgary

Stoney Trail (Ring Road) – connecting residents to the rest of the city

52 Street SE – a major corridor serving southeast Calgary communities

Auburn Bay residents also benefit from close proximity to the Seton Urban District, which has quickly become one of Calgary’s largest new commercial and recreation hubs.

Auburn Bay Housing Market Update – August 2026

Auburn Bay’s August market was mixed, with very different conditions across property types.

Detached-home sales declined to 10, compared with 21 in August 2025. Although inventory also fell by 39%, the reduction in sales pushed months of supply up from 2.10 to 2.70 months. Detached homes spent 37 days on the market, compared with 30 days last summer, but still sold for approximately 99% of list price. The detached benchmark price was $785,400, down approximately 1% year over year.

The semi-detached segment remained tight at just 1.00 month of supply, although activity slowed. Four properties sold, compared with eight last August, and days on market increased from 20 to 47 days. These homes sold for approximately 98% of list price, while the benchmark price declined about 2% to $529,200.

Row and townhouse properties showed stronger activity. Sales doubled from three to six, while months of supply fell from 4.33 to 2.33 months. These properties spent 43 days on the market, slightly below last year’s 46 days, and sold for approximately 98% of list price. However, the benchmark price declined approximately 7% year over year to $426,100.

Apartments experienced the softest conditions. Sales fell from 11 to four, causing months of supply to rise from 2.36 to 5.25 months. Apartments that sold moved in 29 days and achieved approximately 99% of list price, but the benchmark price declined around 8% to $318,300. This gives apartment buyers more negotiating leverage despite the strong sale-to-list ratio among the units that successfully sold.

Overall, Auburn Bay remains relatively balanced for detached homes, while townhouses showed improved absorption and apartments offered buyers considerably more choice. Across every segment, successful properties continued to sell within 98% to 99% of list price, reinforcing the importance of entering the market at a price buyers will respond to.
