Brookfield Residential (formerly Carma Developers) has been creating communities in Calgary for more than 50 years. The company's commitment to Calgary is to create the kinds of neighbourhoods where people truly feel at home, with a level of quality that endures the passage of time.

 

Brookfield's Auburn Bay seems to resonate with customers year after year, as once again it is the winner of the Readers' Choice Gold award in the New Community category. Brookfield Residential remains committed to designing communities that meet the needs of new homebuyers, now and well into the future.

 

The company takes extra care to ensure a consistent standard of excellence in architectural guidelines, compatible home styles and quality finishing materials, plus the consistency that comes from working with the best homebuilders. All of these factors contribute to Brookfield Residential's unparalleled value.

 

What sets Brookfield apart from others is its passion and integrity, which comes with planning and developing beautiful, high-quality master-planned communities. Superior amenities, long-term commitment, quality standards and residents' associations combine to make Brookfield communities simply the best. As a result, Brookfield communities such as McKenzie Towne, Tuscany, Cranston, Aspen Hills and Auburn Bay have been Calgary Herald Readers' Choice award winners each year since 2002.

 

From the moment you enter Auburn Bay, you will instantly feel at home. A beautiful stone entry feature welcomes you in, with birch, pine and spruce trees lining the streets ushering you into a naturally tranquil environment. With architectural design taking its inspiration from cottage country, the community provides a cosy, warm and welcoming environment that people connect with right away.

 

At the heart of this 365-hectare (900-acre) community is a 17.5-hectare (43-acre) lake and a 5.25-hectare (13-acre) park, along with Auburn House, a 7,000-square-foot private residents' association facility. Auburn House offers year-round programming that ranges from fitness classes to mom-and-tot sessions.

 

Auburn House also hosts special events throughout the year, such as Easter and Christmas parties.There is always something fun and interesting happening at Auburn House. There is also a private community intranet site, www.auburnbay-connect.com, that allows residents to communicate with one another, discuss issues and events in online forums, see classified ads, register for programs, pay their fees or simply find out what events and programs are coming up next at Auburn House. Auburn Bay is situated next door to Seton, a vibrant new community that will soon provide easy access to all types of shops and services, as well as the under-construction South Health Campus Hospital (www.setonurbandistrict.com).

 

Homes in Auburn Bay start from the low $200,000s, ranging to more than $800,000 for lake-access homes. Auburn Bay offers a wide variety of living opportunities, with townhomes, semi-detached homes, single-family homes and estate homes.

 

It's a beautiful and distinctive community, with great value for new homebuyers and a true four-season cottage-country lifestyle. During the winter, you can bundle up and enjoy everything from hockey on the lake's Zamboni-cleared rink, to gliding around the skating rink that circles the entire lake. There's also a pleasure-skating area complete with an outdoor fire pit. Other neighbourhood activites include cross-country skiing and tobogganing.

 

In the summer, you can catch some rays and relax on the beach, or go for a paddleboat trip around the lake, enjoy family picnics and barbecues in the park, or experience the thrill of catching your first fish. Auburn Bay provides the perfect background for creating beautiful family memories, or simply reliving your own childhood. New show homes are now open by Baywest Homes, Cardel Homes, Cedarglen Homes and Jayman MasterBuilt. They are located just down the street from Auburn House, and provide new and creative plans to meet the needs of today's modern family.
