Auburn Bay

Imagine waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature - the chatter of chirping birds and the rustle of wind in the pine, birch and spruce trees that line the streets in Auburn Bay. You know you’re at home in Calgary’s premier community.

A 43 acre freshwater lake is on your doorstep, along with walking trails where you can take a relaxing stroll with the kids and the dog.

The cottage-country atmosphere makes Auburn Bay special. Each home lends to that cottage feel with vibrant colours and cozy architectural details. The homes feature dormers, cupolas, window boxes and shuttered windows.

This is where your family will live, play, and begin creating lifelong memories.

Auburn Bay is home to an active community association that operates Auburn House, a community centre, and its exclusive use to the community’s residents. The centre is a 16,000 square-foot facility with a gymnasium, daycare and banquet/meeting rooms.

With your community membership that is included with your home purchase - you get access to the community centre, the lake, a private beach and a 13 acre park.

Auburn House offers the use of rowboats, canoes, pedal boats, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. The four-season facility also provides recreational programs for youth, adults, and family - along with access to scuba diving, tennis courts, a water spray park, picnic shelter, lake-access walkways, fishing, along with skating and tobogganing in the winter.

Tot lots dot the community, so play areas are nearby for every young family.

And don’t worry, golfers. You have five courses within chipping distance. The public facilities nearby are Maple Ridge, Shawnee Slopes, Heritage Pointe, and McKenzie Meadows. Willow Park Golf & Country Club is a private club.

It’s an exciting time in Auburn Bay. Children currently head for schools in neighbouring communities, learning at Andrew Sibbald elementary, Nickle junior high and Dr. E.P. Scarlett high school.

There are also Catholic schools: St. Cecilia (kindergarten to grade six), Don Bosco (kindergarten to grade nine), St. Matthew (kindergarten to grade nine), Christ the King (kindergarten to grade nine), and Bishop Grandin (grades 10-12).

The community’s plan has land reserved for five schools.

Rest assured excellent health care is nearby. Calgary’s South Health Campus makes the southeast corner a truly desirable location. The new hospital, with a year-round, 24-hour emergency department houses care units, operating rooms, intensive care units, obstetrics and women’s health programs.

It’s just across the way in neighbouring Seton, so you can rest assured excellent care is only a few minutes away.

Shopping and day-to-day services are nearby at 130th Avenue, Cranston Market, and McKenzie Towne’s High Street.

Don’t miss the vibrant Seton shopping district, along with its active main street and public library. Seton is set to be one of the most complete mixed-use developments in the country, including office and retail spaces, a park, residential units, and more. Some stores have already opened, including a Save-On-Foods and Shopper’s Drug Mart.

Okotoks is also just a few more minutes down Deerfoot Trail.

And if you’re looking to get even farther out of the city, you’re in easy reach of Kananaskis Country and the gorgeous Rockies.

Many of Auburn Bay’s residents work downtown, knowing their city escape is just a drive away at the end of the work day.

Getting to Calgary’s downtown core is easy. Auburn Bay is nestled in the southeast corner of the city, just east of Deerfoot Trail and just south of the Stoney Trail ring road.

Whether you work downtown or you’re craving a bit of weekend play on Stephen Avenue, jump on Deerfoot and head for Calgary’s bright lights. It’s an easy drive, taking less than 30 minutes during off peak times.

Don’t forget about the future southeast LRT line either. When it’s up and running you’ll be able to take it straight into the core.

Auburn Bay is a place where you get to know your neighbours and enjoy the convenience of city life while living in a quiet, suburban community.

You and your family will thrive in a warm, friendly neighbourhood.

It’s a place to belong.

A place for your family to grow.

A place to breathe deeply and remember what life is all about.
