It is bounded by Seton Boulevard to the south, Deerfoot Trail to the west, 52 Street to the east, and Stoney Trail to the north. The access to main routes is one of the best selling points for Auburn Bay.
Calgary Transit’s future Green Line is set to run along the community’s eastern boundary. South Health Campus Hospital is located across the street from the community. Though the area is still relatively new, it has made tremendous progress over the past few years.
In 2020, Auburn Bay ranked 80th overall as the best neighbourhood in Calgary. In 2019, it had a population of approximately 17,600 in approximately 6000 dwellings. According to the 2016 Census, 62% of households had children at home. The majority of residents were between the ages of 30-34.
The pathways, parks, and gathering spaces are designed to bring the community together. Enjoy a cottage lifestyle where you can visit and celebrate with friendly neighbours. The residents are warm and welcoming, something that is typically reserved for cottage country but you can get it in Calgary.
The community offers a wide variety of styles, price-ranges, builders, and layouts. Everything you need is in Auburn Bay. Home styles include condos, townhomes, laned, and front drive homes. Currently, the community is still building condos and townhomes by Brookfield Residential and Logel Homes. This neighbourhood has something for residents in all stages of life and various amenities located throughout.
The focal point of the community is the 43-acre freshwater lake. The lake provides year-round fun for residents and their friends. Summer activities include swimming, sailing, scuba diving, and fishing. Winter activities include ice skating and ice fishing. The four-season vacation style leisure is for residents and their family and friends to enjoy!
There are various ways to get moving in the community as well. Pathways surrounding the lake are great for walking, running, or biking.
The house is the heart of the community. The 14,000 sq ft professionally managed facility is located on the community's private 13-acre park and offers a place to gather with family and fellow residents. The resident’s association is a volunteer based organization that provides residents with events and activities to meet others in the community. They represent the community with all levels of government, education, and police.
The year-round maintenance throughout the community is aimed to increase the community spirit. Think of the house as an unofficial activity planner.
In addition to the lake, the Auburn House offers indoor ice skating rinks, a splash park, tennis courts, and a large indoor gymnasium.
Residents of Auburn Bay and non-residents are able to rent the facility for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, and more! The association also holds events throughout the year – especially around the holidays.
A few Drop-in programs and summer camps are also offered by the association.

Auburn Bay is a south Calgary community with tons of potential. The small-town beach aesthetic sets it apart from other neighbourhoods in the city.
