Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Marston Meadows

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 Marston Meadows

Marston Meadows is a newer residential development on the western edge, and here is the key detail: it is in Headingley, not the City of Winnipeg. Properties here carry Headingley addresses, which means the Rural Municipality of Headingley sets the taxes and services. The housing leans to larger, newer single-family homes on generous lots, a spacious, upper-end setting for buyers who want room and a newer home just west of the city.

Space, close to the city

This is a quiet, spread-out area with plenty of room, and Assiniboine Park and the western golf courses are close. Downtown is only about a ten-minute drive via the Trans-Canada Highway and Roblin Boulevard, so you get the space without a long commute. It suits move-up and executive buyers who want a newer home with a semi-rural feel.

Buying in Headingley: what changes

Since Marston Meadows is in Headingley, confirm the property taxes and how services work for any home, they differ from Winnipeg's. Some properties are on municipal services and others on a private well and septic, so check which, and its condition. On a newer home, look at what has been finished since the build and whether it was permitted, and give the drainage a look. Those checks keep a western-edge purchase solid.
