Homes in the West End (5C)

The 5C part of the West End takes in the Sargent Park and Polo Park side of the district, toward the Assiniboine River. Character housing dominates here too, with single-detached homes built largely before the 1960s on streets known for their front gardens and mature trees. This is a long-established, family-oriented stretch of the West End, and it has a settled, lived-in feel to it.

Established and central

A lot of people settle here for the long haul, and it shows in how the homes are kept. River pathways along the Assiniboine are close for walking and cycling, the Sargent Park recreation facilities are nearby, and the West End's diverse shops and restaurants are right on the doorstep. Portage Avenue and strong transit keep the rest of Winnipeg within easy reach, so you get character and a central location together.
