Living in Chinatown
Chinatown is a small, dense pocket at the north edge of downtown, better known for its food and its history than for houses. And that shows in the real estate. There is not much of it, and what there is tends to be apartments and condos, not detached homes. So if you are looking here, you are after a very urban, low-maintenance life right in the middle of things, not a yard and a driveway.
A compact, walkable block
This is a place you live to be in the thick of it. Restaurants, shops, the Exchange District right next door, The Forks a short walk off. About as central and walkable as Winnipeg gets. The trade-off is space, so it suits singles, students and downsizers more than growing families.
If you are buying a condo here
Most of what sells is a condo, so do the condo homework. Read the corporation's finances and reserve fund, ask what the monthly fees cover and whether any special assessments are coming, and check the rules on parking, pets and rentals. Parking downtown is worth confirming for the specific unit. None of it is hard, it just matters more when you are buying into a building rather than a house.
