What the numbers mean

  • Owners valued the median home at $240K in the 2016 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Winnipeg MLS® Home Price Index (+50% since then), that is about $359K, 19% below the Winnipeg median of $444K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
  • 20% of households rent, well below the 35% city-wide. Most people here own and stay a while.
  • 87% of homes are single-detached houses, versus 59% city-wide.
  • Tenants paid a median of $799 a month in shelter costs in the 2016 census, which covers all tenants including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.

How it's changing

Winnipeg doesn't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.

Safety

Neighbourhood-level crime figures aren't available for Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Police Service doesn't publish open crime counts by neighbourhood. Check Statistics Canada's crime tables for municipality-wide trends, and the local police website for crime maps. Why this is missing.

Registration fee shown is for electronic registration of a transfer over $30,000. Legal fees, title insurance, inspection and adjustments are extra. ↩
  2. Source: CMHC Rental Market Survey, Housing Market Information Portal. These are zone averages across all units in apartment buildings of three or more units, not a figure for Seven Oaks alone, and they are not asking rents. Seven Oaks lies across a zone boundary, so nearby rents may differ. Houses, basement suites and condos rented out by owners are not included. Zones are large, so neighbouring communities can share one figure. ↩
