5 Reasons Seton is One of Calgary’s Best Communities for Growing Families

Choosing the right place to raise a family means looking beyond just a location—it’s about finding a community where connection comes easy, memories are made, and kids have the space to learn, grow, and thrive.

If you’re searching for a place to put down roots, Colours of Seton by Trico Homes is a standout choice. Nestled in one of Calgary’s most dynamic and thoughtfully planned neighbourhoods, this community is designed with families in mind. Here are five reasons why Seton is one of the best places in Calgary to build your next chapter.

1. Strong Schools—Now and in the Future

Seton is already home to respected high schools like Joane Cardinal-Schubert and All Saints, with new elementary and middle schools actively in development to serve the area’s growing population. In the meantime, children have access to excellent nearby schools with convenient bussing options. For early learners, the neighbourhood also offers strong options including Montessori and faith-based programs. Add in a vibrant public library and community learning spaces, and you’ve got a neighbourhood built for education—at every age and stage.

2. Peace of Mind with World-Class Healthcare

Right in the heart of Seton, you’ll find the South Health Campus—one of Calgary’s largest hospitals. Families benefit from immediate access to emergency and pediatric care, along with a wide range of health services. It’s a reassuring bonus to know that world-class care is just around the corner.

3. Wellness Meets Wonder at the World’s Largest YMCA

For family fun, fitness, and after-school programs, it’s hard to top the Brookfield Residential YMCA. This incredible facility features something for every age and interest—swim lessons, art classes, skating, a leisure pool with a lazy river, and even a flow rider surf simulator. There’s more than just athletics here: the building also includes a full-service public library, kids zone, and performance spaces, making it a true hub for wellness, learning, and community connection.

4. Parks, Playgrounds & Space to Roam

From the towering slides of Elsa’s Tower Playground to the community’s network of pathways and green spaces, Seton makes it easy for families to get outside and stay active. Six parks—including a central 4-acre park—are thoughtfully connected throughout the community, with more on the way. The upcoming Seton Regional Park, a sprawling 16-acre green space, will give kids even more room to play, explore, and gather with neighbours.

5. A Built-In Sense of Belonging

Through the Seton Homeowners Association, families can connect right in their neighbourhood with affordable, community-focused programming. From educational workshops to sports, arts, and social events, this not-for-profit helps bring people together. Residents also enjoy discounted rates on programming—saving time, money, and travel by keeping activities close to home.
