Who Lives in Eastbrook?
Because everything is new construction, you're mostly seeing young families and professionals who want to be part of something from the beginning. These are people who didn't just want a house — they wanted a neighbourhood that was built with intention. The Ducks Unlimited partnership, the enforced architectural diversity, the parks-first approach — that stuff matters to the buyers who end up here.
It's still a young community, and that's worth being honest about. There's no twenty-year tradition of block parties or a long-standing neighbourhood association. But there's real energy from people who chose Eastbrook specifically because of how it was planned. It's a neighbourhood that's actively becoming something, and the people who live here are shaping what that looks like.
What You'll Pay
Here's where the numbers stand right now:
Entry level ($479K-$510K): This gets you into a new-construction home in Eastbrook. You're not compromising on build quality at this price — these are modern homes with current energy-efficiency standards.
Mid-range ($549K-$599K): The sweet spot for families who want more space, upgraded finishes, and the architectural styles that make this neighbourhood stand out.
Premium ($619K-$670K): Larger lots, premium locations backing onto green space, and the full range of high-end finishes.
The citywide median in Regina sits around $320,000, so yes, Eastbrook is above average. But you're buying new construction with modern building standards, enforced design controls, and a neighbourhood plan that most developments in the city don't have.
Here's something worth knowing: builders are still releasing phases. That means there's inventory, and buyers have more leverage than they would in a sold-out community. If you're considering Eastbrook, this window — while construction is still active — is when you've got the most negotiating room.

Schools and Families
Families here have solid school options without driving across the city.
Ecole Wascana Plains (K-8, Public/French Immersion) — The primary school for the area, offering both English and French Immersion. The trail system connects to the school, so walking and biking are realistic options.
Ecole St. Elizabeth (K-8, Catholic/French Immersion) — Catholic families get a French Immersion option as well, keeping kids in the east end for elementary school.
Campbell Collegiate (Grades 9-12) — The main public high school for southeast Regina. It's about a 10-15 minute drive, so it's not walkable — that's the trade-off with newer neighbourhoods on this side of the city.
Miller Comprehensive — Another high school option that serves this part of Regina, particularly for Catholic families.
Having both public and Catholic French Immersion elementary schools accessible from the neighbourhood is a genuine advantage that a lot of Regina families drive across town for.
Parks, Trails, and Things to Do
This is where Eastbrook's planning philosophy really shows up.
The parks here were built before the homes. That's not a marketing line — it's literally what happened. Crosbie Park, with its pirate-themed accessible playground, was open and ready for families before most of the surrounding streets had houses on them. Kiswahep Park adds to the green space as well. All told, there are over 24 acres of parkland within this 180-acre community. That's roughly 13% of the entire neighbourhood dedicated to parks and green space.
The Ducks Unlimited partnership created 1.8 kilometres of naturalized walking trails that wind through native prairie habitat and stormwater wetlands. It doesn't feel like a typical suburban trail — the plantings are intentional, the habitat is real, and you'll see birds and wildlife you wouldn't expect in a city neighbourhood.
For shopping and recreation, Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is nearby with a pool, fitness centre, and programming. The Aurora shopping area — Costco, Landmark Cinemas, and additional retail — is a short drive east. For daily groceries and errands, you're looking at a five to ten minute drive to the nearest major options.
If you're comparing neighbourhoods across this part of the city, it's also worth looking at Greens on Gardiner, which offers genuine walkability to Acre 21's shops and restaurants, or The Towns, which is also in active development and offers a different mix of housing options. Both are nearby and give you a useful comparison point.
The Honest Downsides
I wouldn't be doing my job if I only told you the good parts. Here's what you should think about before committing.
Above-average pricing. At $479K to $670K, you're paying well above the city median. You're getting new construction and intentional design for that premium, but it's still a significant financial commitment compared to other Regina neighbourhoods.
Still under construction. Builders are actively releasing new phases, which means construction traffic, dust, and noise in parts of the community. That'll settle over time, but it's the reality right now.
No mature trees. The neighbourhood has only been developing since 2017. The naturalized plantings along the trails are beautiful, but the streetscape doesn't have the canopy that a 30-year-old neighbourhood does. Give it another decade or two.
High school commute. Campbell Collegiate is a 10-15 minute drive. Until new high schools are built in the southeast, that's just part of the deal with newer neighbourhoods on this side of the city.
Community still finding its identity. Eastbrook has great bones and a strong design vision, but it's young. The coffee shops, the annual events, the community character that comes with time — that's still being built. If you want an established feel right away, look at something like Woodland Grove instead.
None of these are dealbreakers for the right buyer. But they're things I'd want you to know before you fall in love with a listing and realize the neighbourhood doesn't match what you expected day to day.
