When buyers ask me about East Regina, I tell them it's where the city is growing—and where a lot of the best-planned neighborhoods have been built over the past 20 years. You've got everything from established areas like Windsor Park and Woodland Grove to newer developments like The Creeks, The Towns, and Greens on Gardiner. Prices range from around $300,000 for condos and townhomes to over $1 million in prestige neighborhoods. What I appreciate about the East side is the practical stuff: schools that were built specifically for these neighborhoods, walkable commercial hubs like Acre 21, and the Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre with pools and fitness. You're looking at 10-20 minutes to downtown, and most neighborhoods have lower crime rates than the city average. It's not perfect—some areas are still developing, and transit coverage varies. But for families wanting newer homes with genuine amenities, East Regina consistently delivers.
I've been showing homes across Regina for years, and East Regina has a different feel than the north, south, or west sides. Here's what actually sets it apart:
Planned communities with real amenities: The newer East Regina neighborhoods—The Creeks, Greens on Gardiner, The Towns—weren't just carved out and sold. They were master-planned with walking paths, parks, schools, and commercial hubs built into the design from the start. Acre 21 has a grocery store, pharmacy, and restaurants you can actually walk to. That's different from developments where "nearby shopping" means a 15-minute drive.
Mix of established and new: East Regina isn't all new construction. You've got mature neighborhoods like Windsor Park, Woodland Grove, and Parkridge with 30-40 year old homes and established trees, sitting right alongside brand-new developments. That gives buyers options—proven communities or contemporary construction.
Price diversity: You can find condos starting around $130,000 in East Pointe Estates and luxury homes over $1.5 million in The Creeks. Most families land somewhere between $400,000-$600,000 for a single-family home. That range means you're not priced out if you're starting out, but there's room to move up within the same part of the city.
University proximity: The University of Regina is on the East side. That brings cultural programming, employment, and a certain energy to the area that other parts of the city don't have.
East Regina covers a lot of ground. Here's a quick breakdown of the major neighborhoods and what each offers:
East Regina offers something at almost every price point. Here's what the market looks like:
For context, Regina's citywide benchmark price is around $335,000. East Regina averages slightly higher because of the concentration of newer construction and planned communities. But the range is wide enough that most buyers can find something that works.
Market activity has been strong—October 2025 saw 362 home sales across Regina, up 41% from the 10-year average. Inventory is tight with under 2 months of supply. In East Regina specifically, well-priced homes move within weeks.
Right now, East Regina leans toward sellers. The inventory is tight across the whole city—about 2 months of supply when a balanced market is typically 4-6 months. In desirable East Regina neighborhoods, good homes don't sit long.
What this means for buyers: Be prepared. Get your financing sorted before you start seriously shopping. When you find a home that works, be ready to make a decision within a day or two. That's not pressure—it's just the reality of the current market.
For sellers: The tight inventory works in your favor, but buyers are still informed. They know what comparable homes sell for, they've done their research, and they have options. Overpricing won't work just because inventory is low—they'll wait or look elsewhere.
Schools are usually one of the first questions I get from families. East Regina is well-served by both the Public and Catholic systems, with schools specifically built to serve these neighborhoods.
Key elementary schools serving East Regina include:
For high school, most East Regina students attend Campbell Collegiate, Regina's largest public high school. It offers Advanced Placement courses and French Immersion continuation. Thom Collegiate also serves some East Regina areas and is an AP school.
Regina Catholic Schools serves East Regina with several elementary options:
For Catholic high school, students typically attend Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School or Michael A. Riffel High School, depending on their elementary school and catchment area.
The province announced new joint-use schools for The Towns area in September 2024: a new elementary school (1,400 students) and a new high school (2,000 students). When these open, East Regina families will have local high school options without commuting to other parts of the city.
Safety is something I take seriously when helping families find homes. East Regina generally performs well on safety metrics—most neighborhoods have crime rates below the Regina average.
Here's what contributes to that:
Neighborhood design: The newer planned communities were built with safety in mind—lit pathways, good sightlines, streets designed to discourage through-traffic. When more people are out using public spaces, there's more natural surveillance.
Family-oriented character: East Regina neighborhoods tend to have high homeownership rates and active family presence. People know their neighbors. That community connection naturally supports safety.
Geographic position: East Regina is removed from the areas that historically have higher crime concentrations. The southeast neighborhoods in particular consistently show lower crime rates.
About 87% of Regina residents report satisfaction with their personal safety. While overall Regina crime stats can look concerning compared to national averages, crime concentrates in specific areas—and East Regina's family-oriented neighborhoods aren't among them.
One of the practical advantages of East Regina is the concentration of shopping and services. You've got neighborhood-scale and regional options:
East Regina has solid recreation infrastructure—both neighborhood-level parks and city facilities:
Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre: Major recreation facility with pools, fitness equipment, programming. Also houses the Sunrise branch of the Regina Public Library. There's a spray pad and accessible playground outside. Located on East Woodhams Drive.
Neighborhood parks: Each community has its own parks. The Creeks has 12+ acres of green space and environmental reserve. Greens on Gardiner has 40+ acres of parks. Parkridge has a popular spray pad at Parkridge Park. Most neighborhoods have walking paths connecting to parks and schools.
Pathways: The Pilot Butte Creek pathway winds through several East Regina neighborhoods. The Devonian pathway system provides cycling and walking routes connecting to major destinations. These are separated from vehicle traffic and lit in many sections.
Wascana Park access: While technically south of downtown, Wascana Park is accessible from East Regina neighborhoods—2,300+ acres, which makes it larger than New York's Central Park.
From most East Regina neighborhoods, you're looking at 10-20 minutes to downtown Regina by car, depending on traffic and your specific location. The main routes are Victoria Avenue heading west and various connections to Ring Road.
If you work in the Ross Industrial area or the Co-Op Refinery Complex, your commute could be even shorter—those employment centers are right on the East side.
Regina Transit serves East Regina with several routes, including Route 22 (University-Arcola East), Route 21 (University-Glencairn), and Special Route 3 connecting to Campbell Collegiate and LeBoldus High School. The city's goal is to have 90% of residences within 400 meters of transit by 2030.
That said, I'll be honest: most East Regina residents drive. Transit exists and works for some trips, but Saskatchewan's climate and Regina's layout mean personal vehicles are still the primary transportation for most families.
East Regina is the city's designated growth corridor. The Southeast Regina Neighbourhood Plan guides development, with infrastructure planned to accommodate expansion for years to come.
Current and upcoming projects include:
What this means for buyers: If you're buying in East Regina, you're buying in an area the city is actively investing in. Infrastructure, schools, and services are being built to support long-term growth.
I always try to give my clients the complete picture, including the considerations:
Ongoing construction in newer areas: If you buy in The Towns or adjacent developing areas, you'll deal with some construction activity. That settles as neighborhoods mature, but it's the reality right now.
Price premium for newer construction: East Regina's planned communities cost more than older neighborhoods elsewhere in the city. You're paying for newer homes, better amenities, and modern infrastructure—but it's worth understanding the trade-off.
Car dependency: Despite the walkability improvements in newer neighborhoods, you'll still need a vehicle for most activities. Transit is improving but isn't practical for everyone yet.
High school commute (for now): Until the new high school opens in The Towns, students commute to Campbell Collegiate or other schools. That's 10-15 minutes, not terrible—but not as convenient as elementary school access.
Variation between neighborhoods: East Regina is diverse. The experience in luxury The Creeks is different from starter-friendly Parkridge. Make sure you're looking at neighborhoods that match your budget and priorities.
East Regina offers significant price diversity, from condos around $130,000 to luxury homes over $1.5 million. Most families buying single-family homes land between $400,000-$600,000. The area's benchmark price averages slightly above Regina's citywide $335,000 due to concentration of newer construction and planned communities.
East Regina currently leans toward sellers due to tight inventory (under 2 months of supply citywide). Well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods move within weeks. Buyers should be pre-approved and ready to act quickly when suitable properties become available.
East Regina is served by both school systems. Public elementary schools include École Wascana Plains (with French Immersion), W.F. Ready, Henry Braun, and Jack MacKenzie. Catholic options include École St. Elizabeth, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, and St. Gabriel. Campbell Collegiate is the main public high school; Dr. Martin LeBoldus serves Catholic students. New joint-use schools are planned for The Towns area.
East Regina neighborhoods generally have crime rates below the Regina average. The family-oriented character, high homeownership rates, and thoughtful neighborhood design (lit pathways, good sightlines) contribute to safety. About 87% of Regina residents report satisfaction with personal safety, and East Regina's residential areas aren't among the city's higher-crime zones.
East Regina stands out for its concentration of master-planned communities with genuine walkable amenities (Acre 21, Welcome Woodland), schools built specifically for these neighborhoods, and a mix of established areas with mature landscaping alongside contemporary new construction. It's the city's designated growth corridor with ongoing infrastructure investment.
The commute from East Regina to downtown is typically 10-20 minutes by car via Victoria Avenue or Ring Road connections. If you work in southeast Regina's industrial or commercial areas, commutes can be as short as 5-10 minutes. Transit service exists but most residents drive due to climate and practical considerations.
Major East Regina neighborhoods include The Creeks and Wascana View (premium), Greens on Gardiner and The Towns (newer planned communities), Windsor Park and Woodland Grove (established), Parkridge and Creekside (middle-class family areas), University Park (near campus), and East Pointe Estates (condos and townhomes). Each has distinct character and price points.
