Living in Seton: A Complete Guide
Daily Life in Seton
Mornings in Seton often begin with a walk to a cafe on Market Street, or a workout at the YMCA Seton before work. Healthcare workers head to shifts at the South Health Campus just steps away, while others commute downtown in roughly 20 to 25 minutes via Deerfoot Trail.
Days unfold with errands at Seton Gateway, lunch or coffee along Market Street, or an afternoon at one of the neighbourhood's playgrounds and the skatepark. Evenings often mean dinner and a movie in the Seton Urban District, with restaurants and a VIP Cineplex within walking distance of home for many residents.
Neighbourhood Character
Seton is a master-planned urban district, built around the South Health Campus and designed as Calgary's first true "town centre" format outside the downtown core. Development began in the 2010s and continues today, with new residential, retail, and institutional construction still underway, including a new Catholic high school set to open in 2027. With a dense mix of land uses, Seton feels more like an urban neighbourhood than a typical suburban community.

REVIEWS
My husband and I recently purchased a home in Airdrie with Justin Newman and couldn't be happier with our experience! He guided us through the whole process, was incredibly helpful in answering questions, and went above and beyond to make sure the whole process was stress free and seamless. He was always available for phone calls and helped us navigate every aspect of the purchase (showings, home inspection, condo doc read, lawyers etc.). We highly recommend Happy House Hunting and Justin for a realtor in the Calgary area and will definitely be using him again!
