Its 43-acre lake, sandy beach and Auburn House lake facility are reserved for residents, and the community has schools, parks and an active residents association.

Profile
About Auburn Bay
Auburn Bay is a Brookfield Residential lake community immediately north of Seton. Its 43-acre lake, sandy beach and Auburn House lake facility are reserved for residents, and the community has schools, parks and an active residents association. It is close to build-out, so new construction is limited to final phases and multi-family sites.
For buyers who want a lake community with the amenities of Seton a few minutes away, Auburn Bay is the most established option. The trade-offs are limited new inventory, the annual association fee and reliance on a car or bus for downtown commutes.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown via Deerfoot Trail. Off-peak roughly 30 minutes, peak roughly 38 minutes.
Highlights
- Private lake, beach and Auburn House facility through the residents association.
- Schools and parks inside the community; Seton hospital and retail next door.
- Mature landscaping and pathway network.
Considerations
- Very limited remaining new build inventory as the community completes.
- Annual homeowners association fee registered on title.
- No CTrain access; bus and car commutes.

A good fit if
- Buyers who want a lake community that is finished, with schools, retail and the lake all open.
- Anyone working at South Health Campus who wants a detached home a short drive away.
- Families who prefer mature landscaping over lot selection.
Look elsewhere if
- If you want new construction with lot choice, Mahogany, Rangeview and Wolf Willow still have active phases.
- If you do not want a residents association fee, Copperfield, New Brighton and Legacy do not carry lake fees.
