Mahogany HOA Fees, the Lake & Westman Village: What Lake Life Costs

What do Mahogany HOA fees actually cover?

The Mahogany Homeowners Association fee is an annual encumbrance registered on your property title — every homeowner pays it, it's due January 1, and it isn't optional. In our recent Mahogany deals it typically lands around $500 a year, scaling up with property size.

In exchange, residents get what most Calgary communities simply don't have: year-round access to a 64-acre private lake with two beach sites (Main Beach and West Beach), the Beach Club with its gymnasium and event spaces, tennis courts, a splash park, an outdoor rink that becomes a summer skate park, fishing docks the association keeps stocked with trout, watercraft, and a full calendar of resident programs and events.

How big is Mahogany Lake, really?

At 64 acres, it's Calgary's largest lake, wrapped in another 21 acres of parkland. That scale matters in practice: two separate beach parks spread the summer crowds, and the lake runs year-round — swimming and paddling in summer, skating and rink ice in winter.

"Isn't Mahogany far from everything?"

It's the objection we hear most — right up until people actually drive out. What they find: a neighbourhood that's genuinely kept — clean, tidy, no weeds or long grass — full of great people, with a vast lake ringed by walking and bike trails, and everyday retail you can walk to for ice cream or a bite. Seton is minutes away with the YMCA and the South Health Campus hospital, and Stoney Trail and Deerfoot put the rest of the city within easy reach. The "far away" story rarely survives the first visit.

What does Westman Village add on top?

Westman Village is Jayman's resort-style, multi-generational block on the lake's edge, anchored by the Village Centre — a three-storey amenity building — with full lake privileges included. The trade: condo and amenity fees there are separate from, and on top of, the community HOA fee, and resale carries a genuine premium per square foot over comparable space elsewhere in Mahogany.

Worth knowing before you offer: CREB's June 2026 numbers show Calgary apartment-condo prices down nearly 9% year-over-year with about five months of supply — even amenity-rich condo product is negotiable right now, and that leverage belongs to buyers.

Is the townhome rung the value entry to the lake?

Usually, yes. Row and townhouse product carries the same lake membership as a detached home at a fraction of the price of entry, and that segment currently sits at roughly 3.5 months of supply citywide — more selection and more negotiating room than the detached rung.
