Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Waverley Heights

Houses for sale in Waverley Heights, Winnipeg are conveniently close to the University of Manitoba, public transportation, restaurants, and shops. Waverly Heights forms the MLS® area 1L. 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 Waverley Heights

Waverley Heights is an established Fort Garry neighbourhood in the south end, built mainly through the 1960s and 1970s. Single-detached homes lead here, with townhouses filling in around them. The layouts you see are split-levels, bungalows and two-storey houses, and a lot of them have four or more bedrooms, which suits families. The trees have matured and the streets have settled in, so it has a comfortable, family-oriented feel.

Close to the university

The location does a lot of the work. The University of Manitoba is only minutes away, which is a real draw for families, faculty and staff who want to be near campus. Pembina Highway and Waverley Street cover the shopping, transit and restaurants, and give you quick routes north into the city or south toward the Perimeter. It is an easy neighbourhood to live in day to day.

Buying and selling here

These are 1960s and 70s homes, so the checks fit the age: the furnace, windows, wiring and roof, and a dry basement with a working sump pump. On a split-level, look at how the levels and additions have held up, and on a townhouse read the condominium or shared-maintenance documents. Ask what has been updated. Selling here, the family layout, the mature setting and the closeness to the university are your strong points.
