THE COMMUNITY

GARDEN CITY

The Garden City area is the perfect mix of residential and commercial. With quiet streets tucked behind bustling shopping centres and speciality shops, the Garden City area is a great place to call home.

When searching for a family home, schools and daycare centres are likely a top priority, as well as green spaces, parks and playgrounds. The majority of homes in the Garden City area are unattached homes with yards that can be used for play, pets or planting garden beds. Garden City is known to be incredibly family friendly and encourages activity for all ages. Recreation centres host sports clinics as well as tournaments for adults and children, with the option for team sports registration for soccer, baseball, football and more.

For single occupants or couples a condominium might be a better option than a stand-alone home but there are plenty of options for condos and townhouses throughout the community. For young professionals, commuting to work is always a top priority. Because Garden City is primarily a residential community, residents have the choice of street parking, garages or parking lots. If you don’t have a vehicle, there are bus routes that connect the area to the downtown core, cross the Chief Peguis bridge, reach the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg. 

Before you decide where to live, it is important to consider not only your needs in the moment but your future goals and needs as well. There isn’t much point in buying a starter home only to have to resell it and move/upgrade within a year. By discussing your wants and needs with an experienced realtor, home buyers can find the perfect area to live and grow in.

GARDEN CITY: SAFE, QUIET & ACTIVE

If find yourself asking “where should I buy a house?”, there are plenty of factors to consider, namely the costs associated with each community and crime rates. 

When it comes to good areas to live in, Winnipeg boasts a ton of desirable spots all across the city limits and beyond. In addition to house styles, square footage and available transit options it is important to consider the cost of living in each area. If you choose to live in a highly desirable area or luxury home near Assiniboine Park or Fort Garry, you can expect to pay higher property taxes. Combining these higher monthly expenses with a high mortgage rate can mean unaffordable monthly costs. The purchase of a home already comes along with closing costs, insurance premiums and additional fees, so it is important to make sure that you can afford a purchase before you buy a home. 

The Garden City area is known as a family friendly neighbourhood with a low crime rate. The majority of crime that does occur throughout the Garden City community is property based and does include vehicle damage and vandalism, with a low rate of violent crime.
