New Southeast Calgary Lake Communities Have Much to Offer

Lake side living is a luxury that many desire in this day and age. In Calgary, it isn’t irregular to have a few friends who own a lakeside cabin somewhere out in the Rocky Mountains, a place where they can go to relax and enjoy the best summer and winter activities when the season is right.

While Calgary has a fortunate location when it comes to winter Chinooks and mountain accessibility, what the city does lack is nearby natural lakes.

However, over the years, residential developers have taken it upon themselves to introduce the opportunity for lakeside living to Calgary home owners by constructing several man-made lakes.

Lake Sundance, Lake Midnapore, Lake Bonavista, Coral Springs, and Arbour Lake are a few of the more established lake communities, while new neighbourhoods such as Auburn Bay and Mahogany offer a wide selection of lakeside homes for a full range of buyers.

Auburn Bay

Auburn Bay is a recently established lake community in southeast Calgary. Developed by Brookfield Residential, this award winning neighbourhood has an outstanding 900 hectare master plan built around a central 43 acre man-made lake.

When finished, it will be host to 6,000 country cottage themed properties ranging from just over $200,000 to more than $1 million all from a number of different home builders, ensuring that buyers can find the right home for them no matter their lifestyle, budget, or taste.

Currently Offered in Auburn Bay:

Apartment style condos from the low $200,000’s

Townhomes from the low $200,000’s
