An Urban District Like No Other

Seton is a true urban core for the southeast. The community is anchored by the Seton Urban District, a massive retail and professional hub that feels more like a downtown streetscape than a shopping mall, featuring:

• The World’s Largest YMCA: The Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton is a 493,000 square-foot marvel featuring a competition pool, surf simulator, ice rinks, and a public library.
• South Health Campus: Having one of Calgary’s most advanced hospitals right in the community provides peace of mind and makes Seton a major employment hub for healthcare professionals.
• Entertainment at Your Doorstep: From the VIP Cineplex to a diverse array of local restaurants like Starbelly Open Kitchen + Lounge and the local craft brewery, Township 24, your Friday night plans are always minutes away.

Education and Growing Families

For families seeking a long-term home that grows with them, Seton offers a clear path to educational growth. The community is home to the state-of-the-art Joane Cardinal-Schubert High School, which serves as a landmark for the area. And with future school sites planned within the community and established schools nearby in Auburn Bay and Mahogany, the morning school run becomes a lot simpler.

Seton is also home to 16 acres of regional parkland, playgrounds, and paved pathways, creating abundant green space for the whole family to enjoy during evening walks or weekend bike rides.

Front-Garage Homes in Calgary

As the community grows, many homeowners are looking for more space and the added convenience of an attached garage. This is where the selection of front garage homes in Calgary’s southeast really shines. Trico’s detached front-garage models in Seton, such as the Monroe, are designed for the modern family that needs a seamless transition between their busy outside lives and their private sanctuary.

Designed for Connection

These homes often feature open-concept main floors with soaring ceilings and split-level designs that create natural separation between living areas and bedrooms.

Curb Appeal and Convenience

Beyond the striking architectural controls that keep the neighbourhood looking cohesive, the front-attached garage is ideal for Calgary winters, providing a warm, dry entry directly into your home.

Room to Grow

With options for three or four bedrooms and additional bonus rooms, these homes provide the square footage necessary for growing families or those who need a dedicated home office.

Make Your Move to Seton

Seton is currently in a sweet spot for development. The major infrastructure—the hospital, the YMCA, the high school, and the initial retail phases—is already complete and thriving. However, there are still prime residential opportunities available for those who want to buy into a community that will only continue to increase in value as the final residential phases and future Green Line LRT extension come to fruition.
