Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Richmond Lakes

Houses for sale in Grandmont Park and Richmond Lakes, Winnipeg are in communities where there are beautiful areas with a small forest, lake, and play structures that connect to Ducharme Park, whose trails eventually lead to Pembina Highway and the Community Centre.

Grandmont Park, Richmond Lakes, and St Norbert form the MLS® area 1Q. The greater city area, considered simply Fort Garry, has 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.

Homes in Richmond Lakes

Richmond Lakes sits on the south side of Fort Garry, west of Pembina Highway, and its housing leans to newer, larger family homes built around the area's green space and water features. Two-storey homes with modern layouts and attached garages are common, giving the neighbourhood a more contemporary feel than the older bungalow streets closer to Pembina.

Family-friendly, with nature close

Families are the core fit here, drawn by the small forest, lake and play structures that connect through to Ducharme Park and its trails. It is a newer, settled part of the south end with green space at the door and quick access to Pembina, the University of Manitoba and downtown. A good fit for buyers who want a modern home and the outdoors close.

Buying here

The homes are relatively newer, so you mostly skip the old-house worries, but on a resale, check what has been finished since the build and whether it was permitted, and give the basement and drainage a look. On any home near the water features, confirm grading and how the lot drains. Selling here, the modern layout, the garage and the green setting are your strong points.
