Approved in 1986 and built through the 1990s and 2000s, the homes here are custom-built estate properties on generous lots with 25-plus years of mature landscaping. It's premium-priced, and I'll be upfront about that. But when you understand what you're getting — the land, the parkland access, the kind of setting that can't be replicated anywhere else in the city — it earns the price tag.

Who Lives in Wascana View?
The people who live here chose this neighbourhood deliberately. They weren't just house shopping — they were looking for a specific kind of life.
You'll find established professionals, executives, and families who've been here since their kids were small. Turnover is low. The community is owner-occupied, with an active Neighbourhood Watch program and the kind of quiet streets where you recognize your neighbours. People take care of their properties and they take care of the shared green spaces that make this neighbourhood what it is.
It's not flashy. You won't find spec builds or oversized show homes. What you'll find is quality construction, thoughtful landscaping, and people who value nature, privacy, and space over anything else.
What You'll Pay
This is Regina's premium market, and the pricing reflects it. Here's what the range looks like:
Entry level ($600K-$750K): Smaller lots or homes that need some cosmetic updating. Still solidly built — you're just not getting the best greenspace backing at this price point.
Mid-range ($750K-$1M): Where most activity happens. Three- or four-bedroom homes on good-sized lots with mature landscaping and quality finishes. Double or triple garages are standard. Walkout basements are common.
Premium ($1M-$1.7M): The largest lots, direct parkland backing, and homes maintained to a very high standard. Recent sales at $1.49M and $1.69M show where the ceiling sits.
The premium here isn't just about the house — it's about the lot. Two homes with identical square footage can be $200K apart depending on what's behind them. Greenspace backing, walkout basements with valley views, and mature trees all drive the price up.

Schools and Families
If you've got kids, Wascana View gives you strong options without driving across the city.
Jack MacKenzie School (K-8, public) is the neighbourhood school and one of the most well-regarded in Regina. It offers French Immersion programming — not every part of the city has easy access to immersion at the elementary level. It's within walking or biking distance for most homes.
Campbell Collegiate is the public high school. It's one of the largest in the city with strong academics and athletics — not right in the neighbourhood, but a 10- to 15-minute drive.
On the Catholic side, Ecole St. Elizabeth School covers elementary, and Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School handles grades 9 through 12. LeBoldus is well-known for both academics and sports.
Between public, French Immersion, and Catholic options, you've got real choices without sending your kids across the city.
Parks, Trails, and Things to Do
This is where Wascana View separates itself from every other neighbourhood in the city.
Wascana Centre — all 930 hectares of it — is right there. Walking paths, cycling routes, the lake, and maintained urban parkland accessible from your back door. Most Regina residents drive to Wascana Centre. People in Wascana View walk.
McKell Wascana Conservation Park is 171 acres of native prairie habitat with roughly 4 kilometres of trails along Wascana Creek. Benches, interpretive stations, and stretches of undeveloped grassland that feel like you're nowhere near a city. Birdwatching, trail running, cross-country skiing in winter — it's a genuine conservation area, not a manicured city park.
The five-finger greenspace design means walking paths connect through the community. Kids can walk to school through parkland. You can loop a 30-minute walk without touching a main road.
Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is nearby for swimming, fitness, and organized sports.
The Honest Downsides
I'd rather you hear this from me than discover it after you've bought. Wascana View is an exceptional neighbourhood, but it's not for everyone.
The pricing is premium — $600K to $1.7M. There's no getting around it. If your budget is under $600K, Wascana View isn't realistic, and I'd rather point you somewhere that works than waste your time. Nearby Varsity Park offers a more accessible price point with a similar southeast location.
It's car-dependent. There's no commercial within the neighbourhood — no corner store, no coffee shop, no walkable groceries. You'll drive 5 to 10 minutes for errands. Triple garages are common here for a reason. If walkable amenities matter to you, this isn't the right fit.
The homes are 20 to 30 years old. The construction quality is excellent — these were custom builds. But roofs, furnaces, and windows all have lifespans, and some are coming due. Factor that into your budget and get a thorough inspection.
There's a controversial road proposal. There's been ongoing discussion about a potential road development through McKell Wascana Conservation Park. Residents feel strongly about protecting that green space — it's one of the core reasons people move here. It's worth knowing about and following if you're considering buying.
Property taxes scale with home value. On a $1M-plus home in Regina, you're looking at significant annual property taxes. Make sure you've run those numbers before falling in love with a listing.
Is Wascana View Right for You?
If you'd rather look out your window at native prairie than at another roofline, and you've got the budget, Wascana View is hard to beat. It was built around the land, not the other way around — and 25 years later, that decision has paid off in ways newer developments can't replicate.
It's not the right fit if you want walkable retail, newer construction, or a lower price point. For similar southeast quality, The Creeks offers comparable prestige with its own greenspace character. And if you're exploring the broader area, East Regina has neighbourhoods at every price point worth considering.
The best thing you can do is drive through. Take the loop along Wascana View Drive, look at how the homes sit against the valley, and see if it clicks. When you're ready, check what's currently available in Wascana View — I'm happy to walk you through the options.
