Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Grace Hospital

Houses for sale in Grace Hospital, Jameswood, Silver Heights, and Woodhaven, Winnipeg have communities that boast affordable homes, access to schools, and proximity to shops and services with a variety of housing options. With the Assiniboine River to the south, there are plenty of opportunities for active residents to get out and enjoy nature, while the restaurants and bars of Portage Avenue provide a relaxing place to socialize with friends and neighbours. Active residents can tee off at the nearby Assiniboine Golf Club, enjoy the Sturgeon Heights Community Centre, or access Assiniboine Park by the pedestrian bridge across the Assiniboine River. If shopping is more your sport, you're just minutes away from Winnipeg's premiere shopping centre, Polo Park.

These neighbourhoods form MLS® area 5F. The greater city area, considered St James/Assiniboia, is a place that has no shortage of shops, restaurants, and a mix of rather quaint neighbourhoods that run either toward the Assiniboine River, and are thereby more pricey, or further north into nice quite streets that are studded with parks. The area is thus a mix of affluence, particularly in the St. Charles Country Club area around the river, to middle class, to more working class in the areas in and around the Winnipeg Airport.

Homes in the Grace Hospital area

The Grace Hospital area, named for the hospital at its centre, is a settled residential pocket of St. James on the west side. The housing is mostly mid-century and a bit later, detached single-family homes on established streets, at prices that stay affordable. That makes it a practical way onto the west side for first-time buyers and families.

Quiet, convenient, close to the river

This is an easygoing, convenient area. The Assiniboine River is to the south for green space and recreation, and Portage Avenue is close for shops, restaurants and services. Nothing flashy, just solid homes in a handy spot. The value and the central-west location are the main draws.

Buying a mid-century home here

Homes from this era are generally well-built but have some age, so check the furnace, windows, wiring and roof, and ask what has been updated. A dry basement with a working sump pump matters. Some homes are close to original, others have been redone, and that is what you are really comparing. Selling here, show the updates and the yard, and lean on the affordable, convenient appeal.
