Homes in St. Vital (2E)

This part of St. Vital takes in Meadowood and a stretch of River Park South, and the two were built a generation apart. Meadowood came up mostly between the 1970s and the early 1990s, so you see a lot of family bungalows and split-levels, with the odd custom home in the mix. River Park South is the newer side, with two-storey homes from the 1990s onward and more contemporary layouts. One MLS area, two distinct looks.

Family-oriented, and parks everywhere

The through-line here is families. Schools, playgrounds and green space are scattered right through both parts, St. Vital Centre and its shopping sit close, and trails follow the river and the neighbourhood parks. St. Mary's Road and Bishop Grandin Boulevard do the heavy lifting for getting around, linking the area across the southeast and into the rest of the city.

Buying and selling here

On a Meadowood bungalow or split from the 70s and 80s, look at the furnace, windows, wiring and roof, and confirm a dry basement with a working sump pump. Ask what has already been updated. On a newer River Park South two-storey, it is more about layout, the mechanical systems' service history and the state of the yard and deck. Selling, lean on whichever fits your home: the settled Meadowood streets and mature trees, or the newer build and modern floor plan.
