Winnipeg's Best Neighbourhoods REVIEWED! With local Realtor, Jennifer Queen (2022)!

[@alastairclarke]

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!

[@nidhisofat2450]

Hi, do you know of someone selling a house

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

We know of several. How can we help?

[@travelingtocanadawithkids7552]

I was looking forward to seeing Transcona. Please what are the low crime rate Areas close to University of Winnipeg?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

For a more centrally located neighbourhood, I really like St Boniface or Norwood! Osborne also has some great rentals, too!

[@justarandomj261]

Madam , can we open a retail shop in residential building by modifying it in Manitoba. Please ans.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

I have seen it done but you would still need to go through the City to get the special permissions/variances to do so.

[@eisthenfamily2884]

You should have a had map in this video

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

[@jorbjorb1]

Are you going to do a video on Frasers Grove?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

We can definitely add it to the list!

[@yvonneip858]

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.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

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!

[@LadyTidePod]

I have lived in Winnipeg for 16 years. I recommend Charleswood. Beautiful area.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

@@LadyTidePod It is a beautiful area!

[@mustbesaid6649]

Wildwood Park?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Love wildwood, too! It didn't make the list I was reporting on here though.

[@MikeHeidi1111]

What are your thoughts on Woodhaven?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Love, love, love Woodhaven! It's a great area - close to everything while still offering privacy from being tucked away along the river!

[@MikeHeidi1111]

@@TheJenniferQueenTeamI would *so* love to see a video on Woodhaven! 🙂

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

@@MikeHeidi1111 Sounds good. We can add it to the lineup!

[@Ekitobo]

How’s Prevette area and how are schools and stores over there

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

I'm not familiar with that area! I know of a Prevette Street though. Is that what you mean?

[@1har2vey3]

The west end is very convenient

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Agreed!

[@simplysuzan21]

Can you do a video on advice for the best, safe and affordable places to rent for new immigrants.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

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.

[@AlanGoldade]

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.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

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! 🤣

[@justinebalsicas9486]

How about Maple/Tyndall Park area?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

We just uploaded a video for Tyndall Park!

[@ogo2c]

When do you plan to do a video on beautiful East St Paul?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

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!

[@hishamalaskary78]

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

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Interesting! It does depend where in the City you will be working and other factors - but if you check out our playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLYx4YeJ521YTYLMyE1qQdQ3_-XYZmTf6c we delve into a ton of the neighbourhoods, locations, features, etc. and we are adding to that list again this fall!

[@cloutm_anager8262]

I don’t agree with any of the list except river heights but that’s ok.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

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!

[@seahorse2]

My area was missed. Thankfully. As no one else will discover it.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Lol. The best kept secret!

[@dorcasokah8295]

Please what are the low crime rate areas close to University of Manitoba?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

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

[@Eoris2.3]

Very helpful info. Does Norwood have a higher than average crime rate and is it downtown?

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Norwood flats tends to have lower crime as there is less through traffic coming through that area!

[@seaside2001]

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.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

I feel like we are looking at very different parts of River Heights.

[@seaside2001]

@@TheJenniferQueenTeam Have a look at Lindsay Street. A house I owned formerly by the Eaton family, was torn down and 3 - 3 level town houses were built on that lot. In the process they cut down 3 huge English Oak trees that had been there for 100 years. There are many streets like that between Grant and Wellington Crescent. As you drive up and down the street, there is an ugly scar of a town home wedged in between the homes.

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

@@seaside2001 I guess it all depends on what you choose to see. I still see beautiful turn of the century homes when I drive through River Heights. I've also seen some beautiful new construction in the area, too. To each, their own.

[@kennedychakanetsa5293]

Is it allowed to flip houses in Winnipeg

[@TheJenniferQueenTeam]

Of course!
