By the numbers
Auburn Bay at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.
The community
About Auburn Bay
Fun facts: Before the houses, the area was farmland, with salty marshes that the City's plan calls provincially important for nesting and migrating waterfowl; those wetland hollows were left by glacial meltwater, with cattails in the fresher ponds and bulrushes in the saltier ones. Most of the land joined Calgary in 1979, about 26 years before the community was established. The name was chosen to suggest "cottage country" lake living, not to honour a person or historic place, and the community's unofficial symbol is a giant red Muskoka chair by the beach. Lake Auburn covers 43 acres and is about 30 feet deep at its deepest, and sterile grass carp were added more than 10 years ago to eat the weeds. Nearly every street starts with "Auburn," in seven groups: Bay, Crest, Glen, Meadows, Shores, Sound and Springs. In winter, the lake has crokicurl, a mix of crokinole and curling. A Halloween block party called Scarefest once brought Doc Brown's DeLorean, the Ghostbusters car and a wrestling ring. The end-of-summer fireworks have music synced through an app on residents' own phones.
Auburn Bay is in far SE Calgary, between Stoney Trail, Deerfoot Trail, 52 Street SE and Seton Boulevard. It was established in 2005 around a private lake.
The residents association runs Lake Auburn and Auburn House, with a beach, a splash park, paddleboards and boats, tennis and pickleball courts and a gym. The community association runs a garden, and there are 15 playgrounds and an off-leash park. The Co-op at Auburn Station has groceries, gas and liquor, and Seton's shops are next door.
Things to do: Paddleboard or row on the lake. Play pickleball or tennis on the lake courts. Skate the lake loop in winter. Play the 6-hole disc golf course. Watch for owls and osprey along the wetland trails. Rent a community garden plot.
Nearest farmers’ market: Mahogany Farmers’ Market, Mahogany Central Green — Wednesdays, 3–7 pm, June to late September — about 1.8 km away. Year-round, the closest is Fresh & Local Market (Avenida Village, 12445 Lake Fraser Drive SE), about 9 km away.
Lake community
The lake at Auburn Bay

The fee is secured by an encumbrance registered on the Certificate of Title of each member's property.
The lake fee is not optional. It is an annual residents' association fee that runs with the title, not a membership you can decline. Budget for it the same way you budget for property tax, and check the current amount before you write an offer — it changes.
Recreation
What the Auburn Bay Residents Association runs
Every Auburn Bay property owner pays the annual fee, and members over 12 present a membership card for entry. Separately, the Auburn Bay Community Association — the chartered community association, distinct from the homeowners association above — publishes no facility of its own: no hall, no rooms, no rinks. The lake club belongs to the homeowners association, not to it.
