Mahogany, Auburn Bay and Cranston are in CREB's South East district, where the detached benchmark was $698,900 in September 2026. Legacy is in the South district, at $709,400.

District figures are benchmarks for a whole district, not for one community. See the full table.
Questions about the guides
How were these communities chosen?
They are the Calgary communities and nearby municipalities where Derek Bryer works most. Each guide is built from City, municipal, school board, transit and Calgary Real Estate Board sources, which are listed at the end of the guide.
Why do the guides quote district prices?
The Calgary Real Estate Board publishes benchmark prices by district and property type in its public monthly package, not by single community. Each guide names the district it uses and the month of the figure.
Which district had the highest detached benchmark?
Among the districts these guides fall in, the West district, at $993,700 for a detached home in September 2026 (CREB). Springbank Hill and Aspen Woods are in that district.
Are Okotoks, Cochrane, Airdrie, Chestermere and Langdon part of Calgary?
No. Airdrie and Chestermere are cities, Cochrane and Okotoks are towns and Langdon is a hamlet in Rocky View County. Each has its own council, property tax rate and services, which the guides set out.
How do I narrow the list down?
Start with where you need to travel most days, the type of home you want and the budget for that type. Then compare what residents pay for in each place, such as association fees, and the age of the homes.
