What the numbers mean

Owners valued the median home at $225K in the 2016 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Winnipeg MLS® Home Price Index (+50% since then), that is about $336K, 24% below the Winnipeg median of $444K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
76% of households rent, well above the 35% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
Only 4% of residents are under 15, versus 17% city-wide.
52% are 65 or older, versus 14% city-wide, a sign of long-time residents and a settled pace.
98% of homes are apartments (33% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
Tenants paid a median of $887 a month in shelter costs in the 2016 census, which covers all tenants including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.
