It's an established part of southeast Regina that's been around since the 1960s. You'll see mature trees, solid homes from different eras, and families who've put down roots here. If you're looking at homes in Windsor Park, you're probably a family, or you're someone who values peace and affordability over being on the bleeding edge of urban development. Both of those are completely legitimate reasons to move here.
Let me walk you through what you're actually getting.
Who Lives Here
Windsor Park draws families, couples with kids, and some retirees who've been here for decades. It's quieter than newer planned communities — you won't find the same level of walkable restaurants or boutique coffee shops on every corner. But you will find people who stay. Neighbours who watch out for each other's houses when you're away. Kids walking to school together.
The housing stock is a real mix. You've got bungalows, bi-levels, and two-storey homes, mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s. Some owners have updated their places beautifully. Others haven't touched them in twenty years. When you're shopping for Windsor Park listings, you'll see everything from extensively renovated homes to places that need some work. That's actually good news for your wallet — it means there's inventory at different price points.
The neighbourhood itself has strong bones. Streets are lined with trees that have had decades to grow. Lots are generous. It feels residential in a way that some newer subdivisions just don't.
What You'll Pay
I'll give you the numbers straight because pricing is always the first question I get.
You're looking at a range of roughly $250,000 to $400,000 for homes in Windsor Park, depending on the condition of the house, its size, and how much updating it's had. That's genuinely accessible for families who've been priced out of other parts of Regina. You can get a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath bungalow for under $300,000. A larger two-storey with some updates might run you $350,000 to $380,000.
The price point is one of Windsor Park's biggest selling points. You're getting into homeownership without stretching yourself thin. Your mortgage payment stays reasonable. You've got breathing room for those inevitable repairs.
If you're comparing neighbourhoods, check what's available in east Regina overall. You'll see that Windsor Park sits right in the sweet spot — not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. You're paying for location, quiet streets, and an established community.
Schools and Families
Windsor Park School is right here in the neighbourhood, which is huge if you've got kids. You're not driving across town for elementary school drop-off. The school serves the area well, and most families I've worked with have been happy with it.
For high school, Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School is nearby, and Campbell Collegiate is also accessible. You'll have options, which matters if you've got preferences about Catholic education or school culture.
Parks are scattered throughout the neighbourhood, and they're the real, used-by-families kind of parks — not Instagram-worthy, but they have playgrounds and green space. There's a pathway system, and you're close enough to the Wascana Creek pathways that if you're into walking or running, you've got somewhere to go that's not just sidewalks.
Families also appreciate that it's not a busy neighbourhood. Traffic is light. Speeding isn't really a problem. You can let your kids play outside without constant anxiety. That might not sound like much until you've lived somewhere where you can't.
Parks, Trails, and Things to Do
Windsor Park itself has walking paths and ornamental ponds that give the neighbourhood some character. In the summer, you'll see people out in the evenings. In winter, the pathways still get used — it's a neighbourhood where people actually move around outside.
You're close to the Wascana Creek pathway system, which is one of Regina's real assets. If you like walking, biking, or just having a place to run, this is a genuine advantage. The creek path runs through the city, and from Windsor Park, you're well-positioned to access it.
Shopping is convenient without being right on your doorstep. Victoria Square Mall is nearby, and there's the Quance Street East commercial corridor if you need groceries or services. You're not walking distance to most things — you'll use your car — but nothing's far.
If you're considering neighbouring areas, Gardiner Heights is just nearby, and University Park has some similar appeal for families.
The Honest Downsides
I wouldn't be doing my job if I only told you the good parts.
The biggest issue is age. Most homes here are fifty-plus years old. That means roofs, furnaces, and windows eventually need replacing. When you're budgeting for a home purchase, you need to account for eventual updates. Some homes have been maintained beautifully. Others will need work sooner than you might like. Get a good home inspection — don't skip it — and budget for the repairs that inspector finds.
Sidewalk coverage isn't complete on every street. Some blocks have sidewalks on both sides. Others have them on just one side or none at all. If you're pushing a stroller every day or you want that suburban sidewalk experience, this matters. It's not a dealbreaker — lots of families here navigate it fine — but it's something to notice when you're walking the neighbourhood.
Walkability to daily shopping and services is limited. You'll be driving to get groceries, pick up coffee, or grab lunch. If you're looking for that "walk to everything" urban lifestyle, Windsor Park isn't it. But if you're okay getting in the car a few times a week, it's honestly not a problem.
There's also potential flood risk in some areas closer to Wascana Creek, especially in lower-lying sections of the neighbourhood. It's not something that affects every street, but it's worth checking the flood maps and asking about any history if you're buying near the creek corridor. Your home inspector and a chat with neighbours will tell you if it's a concern for any specific house.
None of these are dealbreakers for most buyers, but they're worth knowing so you're not surprised six months after moving in.
If you want quiet, affordability, established trees, and a family-friendly street where people actually know each other, Windsor Park delivers. You're not getting cutting-edge anything. You're getting a solid neighbourhood that works.
No rush, no pressure — but if you want to talk through homes available in Windsor Park or what your budget will get you, I'll give you all the options. That's what I'm here for.
