Description
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 Silver Heights
Silver Heights sits in St. James on the west side, between St. James Street and the Assiniboine River, and its housing is more varied than the name might suggest. Streets hold an eclectic mix of smaller homes from the early twentieth century and larger mid-century houses on spacious lots, mostly bungalows and two-storeys. Along the river you find higher-end properties, and newer condominium development has added modern, low-maintenance options to the neighbourhood.
A wide range, close to the river
That variety gives Silver Heights an unusually wide range of housing, from smaller older homes and attached-style properties through mid-century houses on good lots to riverfront homes at the upper end, plus newer condos. It suits families, first-time buyers and downsizers alike. The Assiniboine River and its green space are close, Portage Avenue supplies shopping and services, and the golf club and community centre add recreation.
Buying here
Match the checks to the home. On older and mid-century homes, the furnace, windows, wiring, roof and a dry basement with a sump pump, and being near the river, water management matters. On a riverfront property, look at grading, the bank and flood history. On a newer condo, check the corporation, its rules and fees. Selling here, the home's character or newer finishes, the lot and the river-close setting are your strong points.
