Frequently asked questions

What is the average assessed property value in Auburn Bay?

The City of Calgary's most recent residential property assessment shows an average assessed value of $636,789 for Auburn Bay — in the mid-range band citywide. Property assessment reflects ownership costs, not rent; actual monthly rent varies by unit type, building, and availability.

How is transit in Auburn Bay?

Auburn Bay has 51 Calgary Transit stops inside the community polygon and 82 stops total within a 400m walkshed (5-minute walk of the boundary). Spread over the 8.112 km² that walkshed covers, that is 10.11 stops per km², for a transit sub-score of 59/100 against a saturation of 17 stops/km². The score uses the density rather than the raw count so that a large community is not credited for stops nobody can walk to from any one address.

What is walkable from Auburn Bay?

Within 1 km of the community we count 26 parks, 11 schools, 1 recreation facilities, and 3 attractions — 41 walkable points of interest in total, or 2.6 per km² across the 15.774 km² that walkshed covers. That density gives an amenities sub-score of 58/100.

How walkable is Auburn Bay?

Auburn Bay has 470 road intersections across 4.261 km² — a density of 110.3 intersections per km². That drives a walkability sub-score of 50/100, benchmarked against a saturation of 220 intersections/km² (dense routable grid). Intersection density is a standard proxy for walkable block size.

How much green space does Auburn Bay have?

About 9% of Auburn Bay's land area is covered by parks (0.4 km² of park inside a 4.261 km² neighborhood, based on the City of Calgary parks dataset). That produces a green space sub-score of 38/100, benchmarked against 25% coverage as saturation — neighborhoods above that are effectively park-first environments with residential woven through.

Is Auburn Bay a good place to rent?

Rentvoy's composite rating for Auburn Bay is 52/100, blending walkshed transit (25%), walkable amenities (25%), walkability from intersection density (20%), green space coverage (20%), and safety (10%, neutral placeholder pending CPS crime data). Individual priorities vary — use the rating breakdown to see which factors align with your needs.

Data transparency

Rentvoy's Auburn Bay rating is deterministic — every figure on this page comes from the City of Calgary Open Data Portal and is recomputed when the underlying data refreshes. No subjective weighting is applied on top of the published formula.

Why densities, not counts: transit and amenity sub-scores divide by the area their walkshed actually covers. Counting alone would rank a community highly for being large — a 400 m walkshed around a 5 km² polygon sweeps up three times the bus stops of one around a 1.6 km² polygon, for exactly the same walk from any front door. The raw counts are still printed above, because they are the honest answer to "how many are there"; the score answers "how close together".

What's not in the score yet: The Calgary Police Service publishes community crime statistics, but the current-year table on the open data portal is access-restricted rather than public, so our safety sub-score holds a neutral 50 placeholder rather than depend on a feed we cannot re-read on every refresh. This is called out on every community page so readers can factor it in. When CPS publishes an open JSON or CSV feed we can re-read on every refresh, we'll replace the placeholder and regenerate every page in a single ingest pass.

What property value means here: The average assessment figure is an ownership-cost proxy, not rent. It's included as context because expensive-to-own neighborhoods typically rent higher, but actual rent in Auburn Bay varies widely by building, unit size, and availability. Live listings will always reflect the real number.
