Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Headingley South

Houses for sale in Assiniboine Landing, Breezy Bend, Headingley South, and Marston Meadows, near Winnipeg form the MLS® area 1W. They have communities that are within the greater city area, considered Assiniboine South, studded with stately houses situated on even larger plots of land, all just 10 minutes from downtown. Tuxedo would lay top billing to these homes, particularly along Park Boulevard and in the blocks surrounding the iconic Assiniboine Park. There’s no shortage of amenities including golf, tennis and the like, along with all the splendour of Assiniboine Park – with its summer and winter trails. The area also has Charleswood, one of the city’s original suburbs where housing prices are more modest, riverside houses being an exception, and often located in forested areas where deer and other wildlife are abundant. Charleswood also has a continually growing culinary scene.

Homes in Headingley South

Headingley South runs along the south side of the Assiniboine River on the western edge, and like the rest of Headingley, it is its own municipality, not part of Winnipeg. It is known for space and its river setting. The homes are mostly larger single-family houses on generous, often treed lots, with some prized riverfront properties on mature, wooded parcels. A semi-rural, upper-end pocket for buyers who want room and river views close to town.

Green, quiet and by the river

The Assiniboine River and its trails are the centrepiece here, and the whole area has a green, unhurried feel. It is the kind of place people move to for the trees, the privacy and the water, while keeping downtown only about a 20-minute drive away. Space, without the isolation.

Buying in Headingley: what changes

Since Headingley is a separate municipality, confirm the taxes and services for any home, they differ from Winnipeg's. Many places are on a private well and septic, so check what a property has and its condition. On riverfront and treed lots, look closely at drainage, the riverbank, flood history and road access, and make sure any additions or outbuildings were permitted. Those checks are what make a rural-edge purchase solid.
