Oak Bluff

Your dream home might not necessarily be within the Winnipeg City limits. For those hunters who are interested in calling Rural Winnipeg home, Oak Bluff is the perfect spot to put down roots. If you are ready to really embrace the beauty of the prairies, consider Oak Bluff for large lots, tons of green space, bike and hiking trails and scenic lakes. 

For those Winnipeggers who are looking for a bit of rural charm but with access to nearby amenities, looking just outside the city provides both. The Oak Bluff community is the perfect blend of accessibility and rural atmosphere. The first homes in Oak Bluff were constructed in the 1980’s/1990’s but has since been updated with the newly constructed Oak Bluff West. Living in Oak Bluff means stepping back in time to a small town atmosphere without having to sacrifice the arts, culture, nightlife and industry that a city has to offer.
