Seton Community Profile
Seton is Calgary’s first planned urban district outside downtown, located in the southeast (Ward 12). Residential development began around 2014-2015, and the area has grown from approximately 973 dwellings in 2019 to an estimated 4,000-5,000 homes.
Seton has very high rental demand driven by its urban-suburban mixed-use design, hospital employment, and transit-oriented development. With over 700 secondary suites registered per City of Calgary open data, the area sees strong ROI for legal suite conversions.

Seton: Neighbourhood Considerations
Seton basements sit on clay, well-drained. This soil type generally excavates cleanly and compacts well, but site-specific surveys are always recommended to identify rock, water tables, or utilities.
Common Challenges
Proximity to hospital means 24/7 noise considerations
Contact OAF early in your ownership or before purchasing. We can assess your property, set budgets, and coordinate with City of Calgary before permitting begins.
