- Today, on Real Talk, we review the RE/MAX 2020 study that revealed what Winnipeg's Best Neighbourhoods were. Now keep in mind this report was done based on polling indpendent RE/MAX brokers and having their Realtors choose which neighbourhoods they would recommend based on preset criteria. I will go into a bit greater depth in the video on the area, but here are the criteria used as well as the neighbourhoods (and links, if we've shot these neighbourhoods for our Want to Be Our Neighbour Series):
So first, et’s just talk about the criteria that was provided to the agents in ranking these neighbourhoods. This liveability criteria was:
- Affordability
- Easily Walkable
- Proximity to Work
- Population density
- Proximity to public Transit
- Access to green spaces and or dog parks
- Easily driveable
- Proximity to health or medical services
- Proximity to big box stores/chains
- Easy access to bike lanes and/or walking paths
- Proximity to preferred schools
- Neighbourhood with diverse cultures and ethnicities
- Proximity to independently owned retail/stores/gyms/bars and restaurants
So without further adieu, here are the top 10 ranked neighbourhoods in Winnipeg based on this criteria (in no particular order):
1. River Heights. View our Want to be our Neighbour shoot here:
• Living in Winnipeg in ...
2. Norwood Flats. View our Want to be Our Neighbour? here:
• Living in Norwood Flat...
3. Osborne Village. Unfortunately we do not have a video for this area - YET!
4. Fraser’s Grove. Shall add to the list to shoot a future video for!
5. Scotia Heights. Yet another neighbourhood we have not yet highlighted and realize we should!
6. Wolseley. We are currently working on a video for Wolseley.
7. Riverview. View our Want To Be Our Neighbour? here:

8. Old St Vital. View our Want To Be Our Neighbour? here:

9. Crescentwood. View our Want to be Our Neighbour? here: • Living in Winnipeg in ...
10. West End. Video coming this week. Will try to remember to link it here!
Just some other considerations in closing. This list had some great criteria set forth in its evaluation. However, it really focused on proximity to downtown core and major services.
As cities grow over time, you notice the development pushing further and further toward the outer core of the City. So if you are looking for newer construction homes, your options in any of these neighbourhoods is going to be a bit more limited. None of these areas are known for new construction offerings, with the exception of some infill houses being built. But that would be the exception, and not the norm.
If you are looking for newer subdivisions around the City, there are also a number of great options that still offer great routes to the downtown core, great school systems, and an abundance of green space.
This study also did not give a lot of weight to crime rates - which does seem to be a top 2 concern when people are calling me for advice (the second is the weather - and that is the same throughout the city, sorry). Some of these areas do statistically have higher than average crime rates.
Ultimately, you need a neighbourhood that works for you and your family’s particular needs, so that is something that may look different for everyone. If ever you need advice on selecting the right Winnipeg Neighbourhood for you, please reach out. We are happy to provide guidance on these factors.
And finally, for those that know Winnipeg, what do you think of these rankings? Are there neighbourhoods that you feel were missed? Be sure to leave us a note in the comments section below.

Great video! Your final thoughts/ comments are really important. When we moved to Wpg, we rented in Osborne Village and then bought a condo there. We loved the vibe of the Village and we could walk to work. Then our kids grew older (and we got a dog) so we moved to Tuxedo and it is perfect. We have a lot of friends in Wolseley (I think it's misspelled in your video) and they love it. It seems like the houses in north Wolseley (near Portage) have to worry about minor crime but the closer you get to the river, it goes down. We also have friends in the West End and they love it. They know all their neighbours and it also has a great vibe. For us, my wife is really (really!) into gardening/ plants so we wanted space for her veggies and a mature neighbourhood with lots of trees. Also, no crime around us. I heard that our neighbours don't even lock their doors! And super easy for our kids to walk to school.
You caught it. It IS misspelled in the video and I've been meaning to correct it, for forever. Also, thank you for the comments. It really IS a great neighbourhood!
Hi, do you know of someone selling a house
We know of several. How can we help?
Very useful video as we try to understand the neighbourhoods before buying. Suggestion, as we are not, yet, familiar with Winnipeg, it would be useful, for the video, if there was a map behind you and point to the area as you talk about it. Yes. I was able to find them on a map. Just would be more convenient and remove some uncertainty if they were pointed out as mentioned. Thanks.
Thanks Alan! Not in this video, but the other videos we shoot that talk about these specific areas, they do show you exactly where they are in the City. The videos shot at home from my iPhone though, don't have the same editing budget, as I'm sure you can tell! 🤣
When do you plan to do a video on beautiful East St Paul?
It is in the shooting schedule for this summer - by the time we release it, it may be closer to fall though! If there is any specific information you would like about the area, let me know as I can always assemble that for you sooner!
I was looking forward to seeing Transcona. Please what are the low crime rate Areas close to University of Winnipeg?
For a more centrally located neighbourhood, I really like St Boniface or Norwood! Osborne also has some great rentals, too!
Are you going to do a video on Frasers Grove?
We can definitely add it to the list!
Very helpful info. Does Norwood have a higher than average crime rate and is it downtown?
Norwood flats tends to have lower crime as there is less through traffic coming through that area!
I am struggling amongst River Heights, Linden Woods and Charleswood. Would you please give me some more insights in terms of the school’s reputation and crime rates in the respective areas? Thanks! I am moving to Winnipeg in September.
Hi Yvonne, all of the areas you have described have great schooling and would be considered safer areas, in my opinion. I think you've narrowed it down to a great list!
I have lived in Winnipeg for 16 years. I recommend Charleswood. Beautiful area.
@@LadyTidePod It is a beautiful area!
The west end is very convenient
River Heights was always considered a lovely area, but not now. All the lovely turn of the century homes are being torn down and ugly town homes are being squeezed in between. It looks horrible.
My area was missed. Thankfully. As no one else will discover it.
Lol. The best kept secret!
Can you do a video on advice for the best, safe and affordable places to rent for new immigrants.
Hi Suzan, most of these areas would include some rentals. But truthfully, there isn't an organized rental market here and we don't work in rentals so I wouldn't be overly qualified to speak on the topic.
Madam , can we open a retail shop in residential building by modifying it in Manitoba. Please ans.
I have seen it done but you would still need to go through the City to get the special permissions/variances to do so.
You should have a had map in this video
Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
How about Maple/Tyndall Park area?
We just uploaded a video for Tyndall Park!
Wildwood Park?
I don’t agree with any of the list except river heights but that’s ok.
Fair. The study was done city-wide and the criteria measured may not be for all. River Heights is a great community. Thanks for the comment!
In which neighborhood do you advise me to live, knowing that we are three men who work in wood factories and do not need a place close to restaurants or schools
Interesting! It does depend where in the City you will be working and other factors - but if you check out our playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLYx4YeJ521YTYLMyE1qQdQ3_-XYZmTf6c.html we delve into a ton of the neighbourhoods, locations, features, etc. and we are adding to that list again this fall!
What are your thoughts on Woodhaven?
Love, love, love Woodhaven! It's a great area - close to everything while still offering privacy from being tucked away along the river!
@@TheJenniferQueenTeamI would *so* love to see a video on Woodhaven! 🙂
@@MikeHeidi1111 Sounds good. We can add it to the lineup!
Please what are the low crime rate areas close to University of Manitoba?
There are several! Here is a link where you can access the crime maps: public.tableau.com/app/profile/winnipeg.police.service/viz/CrimeMaps_16527244424350/Disclaimer
How’s Prevette area and how are schools and stores over there
I'm not familiar with that area! I know of a Prevette Street though. Is that what you mean?
Is it allowed to flip houses in Winnipeg
Of course!
River Heights break ins thanks
Norwood Don't get a back lane
Osborne lol crack available for your family and friend's
Frasers Grove and Scotia are a step away from needles
Wolseley is tons of room rentals and multi locks
St Boniface get a baseball bat
St Vital yawn
West End sneakers strung up on hydro lines
Get a haircut and get a new job!
