The full buildout plans for 625 lots, with construction still underway in newer phases. The streets are almost entirely cul-de-sacs. The lots are wide — 14 to 18 metres — with separated sidewalks, ornamental street lighting, and no commercial properties anywhere. It's pure residential, and that's by design. If you want space, quiet, and a home that holds its value in a neighbourhood that takes its standards seriously, The Creeks is worth understanding.
Who Lives in The Creeks?
The mix of residents here leans toward people who've already built their careers and want a home that reflects that. You'll find executives, established professionals, and retirees who've downsized from acreages but still want quality finishes. There are also growing families who've outgrown their starter homes and want to put down roots somewhere they won't need to move again.
It's a low-density neighbourhood with high ownership rates. Most people here bought deliberately — they chose The Creeks for the architectural standards, the safety profile, and the access to nature. Because turnover is low, there's a real sense of community. Neighbours know each other, kids play together on the quiet streets, and it's got that settled feeling even though it's technically still a newer development.
What You'll Pay
Let's talk numbers honestly, because this is where The Creeks separates itself from most of Regina.
The median sale price runs between $899,900 and $919,450. For context, Regina's overall median sits around $335,000. So you're looking at nearly three times the city average. That's not a small gap, and it's important to understand what you're actually paying for.
You're paying for strict architectural controls that require stucco, stone, or brick exteriors — vinyl siding isn't allowed. You're paying for wide lots, cul-de-sac layouts, and a neighbourhood that backs onto 171 acres of protected environmental reserve. You're paying for one of the top three safest neighbourhoods in the city. And you're paying for scarcity: at any given time, there are typically only about four active listings in the entire neighbourhood.
That scarcity shows up in how fast homes move. The average days on market in The Creeks is 19 days, compared to 77 days citywide. That's 75% faster than the rest of Regina. When something comes up here, it doesn't sit around. If you're seriously considering The Creeks, you'll want to keep an eye on what's available and be ready to move when the right home appears.
Schools and Families
For families with school-age kids, the education picture here is solid.
Ecole W.S. Hawrylak covers kindergarten through Grade 8 and offers both English and French Immersion streams. Having that dual-track option without busing your kids across the city is a real advantage, especially as French Immersion demand keeps growing across Saskatchewan.
For high school, students typically attend Campbell Collegiate, which has a strong reputation for academics and athletics. Campbell offers Advanced Placement courses for students who want to push themselves. There are also new high schools planned for The Towns area nearby, which could change the commute picture for southeast families in the coming years.
The Regina Catholic School Division serves the area as well, so if faith-based education matters to your family, you've got options without leaving the east end.
Parks, Trails, and Things to Do
This is where The Creeks really earns its reputation. The neighbourhood was built around nature rather than in spite of it.
Within the community itself, there are over 12 acres of professionally landscaped parks with lit walking paths separated from vehicle traffic. The ornamental street lighting carries through to the pathways, so you're not walking in the dark at 5 PM in January — which, in Saskatchewan, matters more than people realize.
The real standout is the McKell Wascana Environmental Reserve. This 171-acre protected area sits right along the neighbourhood's edge, preserving native prairie grassland and wetland habitat. Chuka Creek runs through it, and the trails feel like you've left the city entirely. For families and retirees who want daily walks in a natural setting, it's one of the best resources in Regina.
Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is nearby for pools, fitness, and programming. For shopping, groceries, and restaurants, you're driving to Aurora or Victoria Square — there's nothing commercial within The Creeks itself. Some people love that quiet separation. Others find it inconvenient. It depends on what matters more to you.
If you're comparing options in southeast Regina, Greens on Gardiner offers genuine walkability to shops and restaurants at a lower price point, while Wascana View gives you a similar prestige feel with slightly different lot configurations. Both are worth exploring to see what fits your lifestyle best.
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 to The Creeks.
It's expensive. At nearly three times the city average, this neighbourhood prices out the vast majority of Regina buyers. That's not a judgment — it's just the reality of the market here.
There's no walkable shopping. You're driving for groceries, for coffee, for pretty much everything. If walkability is high on your list, this isn't the neighbourhood that delivers it.
Construction is still active. Some phases of the 625-lot plan are still being built out. That means you may deal with construction traffic, dust, and the general noise that comes with a neighbourhood that's not fully finished yet. It'll get there, but it's not there yet.
Inventory is extremely limited. With only about four listings available at any given time, you may wait months for the right home to come on the market. If you're on a tight timeline, that can be frustrating.
The landscaping is young. Compared to established neighbourhoods like Woodland Grove or Windsor Park, the trees and greenery in The Creeks are still filling in. It'll look different in ten years than it does today. If mature streetscapes matter to you, that's worth considering.
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.
