Calgary's lake quadrant and its newest housing — Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and Seton, anchored by South Health Campus. Live MLS® listings, real market medians, and every southeast community in one place. Every house for sale in SE Calgary below comes straight from the MLS® feed and updates through the day.
Southeast Calgary is the quadrant that grew fastest, and it shows in the housing. Everything south of Glenmore Trail and east of Macleod — Cranston, Auburn Bay, Mahogany, Seton, Copperfield, New Brighton, McKenzie Towne, Walden, Legacy, Rangeview — was built in the last thirty years, most of it in the last twenty. That means newer mechanicals, newer roofs, newer everything, and far fewer of the deferred-maintenance surprises that come with a post-war house.
It is also Calgary's lake quadrant. Mahogany, Auburn Bay, McKenzie Lake, Lake Bonavista and Chaparral all have private residents' lakes with beaches, boat access and year-round programming. No other quadrant comes close — the northwest has exactly one lake community and the southwest and northeast have effectively none. Add South Health Campus and the Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton, and the deep southeast now functions as a second centre rather than a bedroom suburb.
The older inner southeast is a different market entirely: Inglewood, Ramsay, Riverbend, Ogden, Acadia, Willow Park, Lake Bonavista, Forest Lawn, Dover and Erin Woods carry the quadrant's pre-1980 stock and its most affordable entry points. Below you will find live southeast market statistics, a four-quadrant comparison, honest trade-offs, real commute times, named schools, and every SE community we cover with its current listing count.
Every figure above is pulled from the live MLS® feed when this page loads — nothing here is typed in by hand or updated monthly. We publish the median as well as the average because a single multi-million dollar listing distorts an average badly, and most sites only show you the average asking price. Sold figures cover the trailing 90 days. Individual sold prices and full property history are governed by MLS® Virtual Office Website rules — create a free account to see them per property.
Every listing below has a SE street address, filtered straight from the MLS® feed on the address directional rather than a hand-maintained community list — so nothing in Southeast Calgary gets missed and nothing from another quadrant sneaks in. Filter by price, type, beds, baths and more.

Set Up a SE Calgary AlertThis is the comparison nobody else publishes. All four Calgary address quadrants, side by side, on the same six measures, pulled live from the same MLS® feed at the same moment — so you are comparing like with like rather than one agent’s SW average against another agent’s NE average from a different month. Southeast Calgary is highlighted.

Median list price is the midpoint of active asking prices. Median sold price covers the trailing 90 days of closed sales. Median days on market is the midpoint, not the average, so a handful of stale listings cannot inflate it. A quadrant with a lower median is not necessarily "cheaper" like for like — housing age, size and type differ enormously between quadrants, which is why the $/sq ft column is there.

A single median for a whole quadrant blends a $300,000 apartment with an $870,000 detached home, so a quadrant with a large condo base looks cheaper than it really is. Split by type, you get the like-for-like number — which is the one that actually matters when you are comparing where to buy. These figures are live from the MLS® feed.

Each row is filtered to SE addresses only. "Semi-detached" and half-duplex are the same category in the feed; townhouse covers row homes. Villas are a bungalow style rather than a property type, so they appear within townhouse. Blank cells mean too few active listings in that combination right now.
A quadrant is not good or bad in the abstract — it is good or bad for a specific buyer with a specific week. Here is who Southeast Calgary actually suits, and where it does not.
The southeast is the most realistic quadrant for a first purchase that is still a house rather than an apartment. Copperfield, New Brighton, Walden, Legacy, Cranston, Auburn Bay and Chaparral all have townhome and entry detached product, and the inner southeast — Ogden, Riverbend, Dover, Erin Woods, Applewood Park, Penbrooke Meadows — is the most affordable non-northeast entry in the city. Two things to budget for: the residents' association fee if you buy into a lake community, and a second vehicle, because the southeast has no LRT.
This is the quadrant built for families, and it is not subtle about it. Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston, McKenzie Towne, New Brighton, Copperfield and Seton combine new housing, lake or pond amenity, new schools and the South Health Campus in one place. Seton in particular — hospital, the Brookfield Residential YMCA, high school, retail — gives the deep southeast a complete daily-life footprint. The honest trade-off is the drive: if a parent works at the university or Foothills, the southeast will cost you real hours every week.
Southeast downsizing product is newer than anywhere else in the city, which is a genuine advantage — fewer stairs, better insulation, attached garages, and mechanicals with life left. Lake Bonavista, Willow Park, Acadia, Auburn Bay, Mahogany, Cranston and Chaparral all have villa, bungalow-style and adult-oriented complexes. Watch the fee stack: in a lake community you may be paying condo fees and a residents' association fee, and in a bare-land condo you may be responsible for more of the exterior than you expect. Read both sets of documents.
The southeast gives you better yield than the southwest and better tenant stability than most of the northeast, largely because South Health Campus, Quarry Park and the Foothills and Shepard industrial areas all employ locally. Copperfield, New Brighton, McKenzie Towne, Auburn Bay and Cranston rent well to families. Inner southeast — Ogden, Riverbend, Dover, Forest Lawn — offers the cheapest entry and the highest gross yields, with correspondingly more management. Legal secondary suites are common in the newer southeast; confirm registration on the City of Calgary's secondary suite registry before relying on the rent.

Every other page about this quadrant is a sales pitch. Here is the list we would give a friend — including the parts that cost us business. If a trade-off below is a deal-breaker for you, that is exactly what this section is for.
Every competitor page says "easy access to major routes." Here are actual numbers, measured from McKenzie Towne as a representative SE address.
| Destination | Peak drive time | Usual route |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown core (Stephen Avenue) | 30–40 min | Deerfoot Trail — the peak bottleneck |
| University of Calgary | 35–45 min | Stoney Trail or Deerfoot → Crowchild |
| YYC Calgary International Airport | 30–40 min | Stoney Trail east and north |
| Foothills Medical Centre | 35–45 min | Deerfoot → Memorial Drive |
| Chinook Centre | 20–28 min | Deerfoot Trail → Glenmore Trail |
Typical weekday morning peak drive times from McKenzie Towne. Off-peak trips are commonly 30–40% faster. Times vary with construction and weather — treat these as planning ranges, not guarantees.
Southeast Calgary has no operating C-Train station. This is the quadrant's most important structural gap and you should factor it into any purchase here. The Green Line is under construction and is intended to serve the southeast corridor, but there is no southeast station in service today and the schedule has already changed more than once. Until it opens, the southeast is served by bus — including the BRT routes along the 52 Street and Deerfoot corridors into downtown — and by car. Households buying in the deep southeast should plan on two vehicles unless both people work locally.
The southeast has the newest school infrastructure in the city because most of the quadrant was built after 1995 — but new communities routinely open before their schools do, so catchment verification matters more here than anywhere else in Calgary. Always confirm the current catchment directly with the Calgary Board of Education or Calgary Catholic School District before you write an offer, and ask specifically whether the catchment school is at capacity.
French immersion is available through the CBE across the southeast at both elementary and secondary level, with the Calgary Catholic School District running a parallel immersion stream. Because so much of the southeast was built after 1995, several communities were occupied before their catchment schools were built — that gap has largely closed in McKenzie Towne, Cranston and Auburn Bay, but is still live in the newest areas such as Rangeview, Hotchkiss and Logan Landing. If schools are a deciding factor, confirm not just the catchment but whether the catchment school is currently accepting in-boundary students, because capacity capping is a real and recurring issue in the southeast.
School information is provided for orientation only. Catchments, programme availability and enrolment caps change; confirm directly with the Calgary Board of Education or the Calgary Catholic School District before making a purchase decision based on a specific school.
All 52 Southeast Calgary communities we cover, each with its own neighbourhood guide — live listings, market data, schools, commute times and 2021 census context. The number beside each name is its current active listing count with a SE address. Most competitor pages link 20 to 35 communities; this is the complete list.
No southeast communities start with that letter.
Counts are refreshed from the live MLS® feed each time this page is rebuilt. A community can appear on more than one quadrant page when its streets straddle a directional boundary — that is a property of Calgary’s address grid, not a duplicate.
Southeast condo and townhome stock is overwhelmingly newer than the rest of the city, and that changes what you should be checking. Instead of hunting for poly-B and aluminum wiring, you are reading fee structures. Many southeast complexes are bare-land condominiums, where you own more of the exterior than in a conventional condo, and many sit inside lake communities where a mandatory residents' association fee stacks on top of the condo fee. Copperfield, New Brighton, McKenzie Towne, Auburn Bay, Mahogany, Cranston, Seton, Walden and Legacy all have significant townhome and apartment inventory. Inglewood, Ramsay and East Village add genuinely urban condo product at the inner edge of the quadrant.

The southeast has more new-construction choice than any other quadrant, simply because it still has land. Seton, Rangeview, Hotchkiss, Logan Landing, Legacy, Walden and the final phases of Mahogany and Cranston Riverstone are where the builder inventory is. Rangeview is notable as Calgary's first "garden-to-table" community concept, and Seton is being built as a full urban district rather than a subdivision — hospital, YMCA, high school, retail and residential together. Buying from a builder is a different transaction than resale: different deposit structures, different possession timing, warranty coverage under the Alberta New Home Buyer Protection Act, and GST that may or may not be included in the posted price.
Deposits, builder contracts, possession timing, Alberta New Home Buyer Protection Act warranty, GST and what a builder’s show home does not tell you.
