Houses for sale in Winnipeg: Waverley West

Houses for sale in Bridgwater (often misspelled as Bridgewater), South Pointe, Prairie Point, and Waverley West, Winnipeg have communities that are being developed into attractive neighbourhoods that provide a mix of residential and commercial properties. The goal is to create a green, walkable community for residents of varying incomes, ages, and household sizes to enjoy. It is being designed with large detached homes, condos, apartments, lakes, playgrounds, parks, walking trails, schools, shopping, and traffic-calming measures to offer residents a safe and welcoming work/play environment. This desirable suburb is a safe, quiet, family-oriented community with plenty of attractive green spaces and natural beauty. The shops, restaurants, and services of Bridgwater Centre will eventually become a convenient hub for locals.

Bridgwater Centre, Bridgwater Forest, Bridgwater Lakes, Bridgwater Trails, South Pointe, Prairie Point, and Waverley West form the MLS® area 1R. 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 West

Waverley West is the big master-planned district in the southwest, taking in Bridgwater and the communities around it. As the city's newest major growth area, the housing is almost all modern, and it spans a wide range. Large detached family homes and lakeside properties at one end, townhouses, condominiums and apartments at the other. The whole thing was planned for a mix of incomes, ages and household sizes rather than one type of buyer.

Built around lakes and trails

The planning is what people notice. The district is laid out around constructed lakes, parks, walking trails and green corridors, with shopping and services expanding right alongside the housing. Because it is still being built out, there is a steady supply of newer homes as well as a growing resale market. Kenaston Boulevard and the surrounding routes link the area north into the city and south to the Perimeter, and transit serves the community.

Buying and selling here

A lot of homes here are new or nearly new, so the checks shift toward newer construction. Confirm the remaining New Home Warranty term, review the lot grading and any developer landscaping or design requirements, and on a condo, bare-land condo or lake lot read the corporation documents, the fees and what they cover. On a lake-backing lot, ask about the water feature and who maintains it. Selling here, the modern build, the planned amenities and the setting are your strongest points.
