Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Fairfield Park

Houses for sale in Fairfield Park and Richmond West, Winnipeg have communities that fall within the greater city area, considered simply Fort Garry. Together they form the MLS® area 1S with neigbourhoods running alongside both sides of Pembina offering a range of housing prices from bungalows in Fort Garry proper, to large multi-storey homes in the older area of Whyte Ridge and the new ever-expanding burbs of Bridgwater, to farm-style abodes down in St. Norbert, where the city meets the prairie. Due to the constant growth of the Bridgwater area, more and more amenities like restaurants and shopping continue to pop up, however the area lacks primary and secondary schools.

A newer Fort Garry neighbourhood

Fairfield Park is one of the newer residential pockets in the Fort Garry area of south Winnipeg, out near Pembina Highway. Being recent, the housing here is modern, larger detached homes with open layouts, higher ceilings and up-to-date finishes, on a well-planned grid. It gives buyers a shot at a newer home in an established, well-serviced part of the south end, rather than an older house or a place way out on the city's edge.

Settled, and close to everything

This is a comfortable, family-oriented area with good access to the University of Manitoba, Pembina Highway shopping and downtown. The steady growth around Fort Garry and Bridgwater keeps adding services nearby, so day-to-day life is easy. It suits families and professionals who want a modern home close to the university corridor.

Buying here

A lot of the homes are newer, so you mostly skip the old-house worries, but on any resale, check what has been finished since the build, a basement, landscaping, a deck, and that it was permitted. Give the basement and drainage a look like you would anywhere in the south end. Selling here, the modern layout, the finishes and the convenient location are your strong points.
