This is a practical, affordable neighbourhood in east Regina where you can get into a condo without stretching your budget to the breaking point. The homes are newer, the maintenance is low, and the Pilot Butte Creek pathway running through the area gives you something that a lot of pricier neighbourhoods don't have — a genuine green corridor right outside your door. If you've been scrolling listings and wondering where in Regina you can actually afford to live without feeling like you're compromising on everything, East Pointe Estates deserves a closer look.

Who Lives in East Pointe Estates?
The mix here is pretty straightforward. You've got first-time buyers who need an entry point that doesn't terrify them. Young professionals who want something they own instead of renting. Downsizers who don't need a big yard anymore and just want things taken care of. And investors who've done the math and like what they see.
The original core of the neighbourhood was built in the 1990s — mostly detached homes and smaller builds that have settled in nicely over the years. Then the Eastgate expansion brought in contemporary townhouses and condos that gave the area a newer, more modern feel. So there's a bit of a generational mix happening, which I think keeps things from feeling one-dimensional. You're not walking into a neighbourhood where everyone's at the same life stage. There are long-time residents who've been here for decades and newer owners who moved in last year. That blend gives the place a grounded, real-life feel that I appreciate.
What You'll Pay for a Home
Here's where East Pointe Estates really gets people's attention. Entry-level condos start around $207,500 to $212,000 — we're talking two bedrooms, one bathroom, roughly 861 square feet. That's well below Regina's citywide median of around $320,000 for a single-family home. You're not comparing apples to apples since these are condos, but the point is you can own something here without the kind of mortgage payment that keeps you up at night.
The mid-range runs $250,000 to $300,000, which gets you more space and usually a townhouse layout. If you're looking at the upper end — $350,000 to $600,000 — you're into the larger townhouses and some of those original 1990s detached homes.
Condo fees typically run $150 to $200 per month. That covers exterior maintenance and common areas. I always tell my clients to factor those fees into their monthly budget from day one. I've seen buyers fall in love with a condo and then feel squeezed once they realize the fees are on top of their mortgage, property taxes, and utilities. No surprises — that's how I like to do things.

Schools and Families
Families in East Pointe Estates have solid options for schools without driving across the city. Judge Bryant Elementary covers kindergarten through Grade 8 on the public side — it's on Dewdney Avenue and serves a good chunk of this part of east Regina. For high school, F.W. Johnson Collegiate is the public option, and it offers AP courses for students who want to push themselves academically. On the Catholic side, Miller Comprehensive is accessible from here as well.
There are also newer joint-use schools in The Towns neighbourhood that serve this area. That's worth knowing about if you've got younger kids, because those facilities are modern and well-resourced.
I won't pretend every school is a five-minute walk from every doorstep in East Pointe Estates — the neighbourhood's layout means some families will be driving or busing their kids. That's just the reality, and I'd rather be upfront about it than have you find out after you've moved in.
Parks, Trails, and Things to Do
The Pilot Butte Creek pathway system is the standout feature here, and it's the thing most residents mention first when I ask what they like about living in East Pointe Estates. It's a green corridor that winds through the neighbourhood with walking paths, lit areas for evening strolls, and stretches of prairie grassland. In the mornings, you'll hear songbirds. In the evenings, you'll see people walking their dogs and families out for a stroll. It's not a manicured park with fountains and splash pads — it's more natural than that, and a lot of people prefer it that way.
For shopping and entertainment, you're about five to ten minutes from the Aurora Shopping area, which gives you Costco and Landmark Cinemas. The Quance Street corridor handles most of your day-to-day shopping needs — groceries, restaurants, services. And you're 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Regina, so you're not isolated out here by any stretch.
It's not the kind of neighbourhood where there's a farmers' market or a trendy coffee shop on the corner. If that's what you're after, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want to come home, go for a walk along the creek pathway, and have everything you need within a short drive, it works well.
The Honest Downsides
I wouldn't be doing my job if I only told you the good parts. Here's what you should know before you make a decision.
East Pointe Estates is condo-heavy. If you're set on a detached single-family home with a big yard, your options here are limited — mostly those original 1990s builds, and they don't come up as often. The older condos from the '90s can need cosmetic updating too. We're talking dated kitchens, older flooring, that kind of thing. Nothing structural, but budget for some freshening up if you're looking at those units.
This isn't a trendy neighbourhood. There's no community hub, no artisan shops, no neighbourhood pub where everyone knows your name. It's quiet and functional, and that's either exactly what you want or it's not. You're buying value here, not prestige — and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you're clear about what you're getting.
The buyer-friendly market means there are usually 15 to 25 active listings at any given time, and homes tend to sit for 25 to 40 days. That's actually good news if you're buying — you've got time to think, compare, and make a decision without feeling rushed. I'm very patient with this part of the process. There's no reason to panic into anything.
If you're exploring this part of the city more broadly, it's also worth looking at nearby neighbourhoods like Spruce Meadows or Glencairn — they're in a similar price range and each has its own personality. You can also see everything available across east Regina to compare.
I'll give you all the options, and we'll figure out what actually fits your life. No rush, no pressure. I truly listen to what matters to you, and we go from there. When you're ready to start looking, East Pointe Estates listings are a good place to begin.
