Spruce Meadows Homes for Sale in Regina

What Makes Spruce Meadows Different from Other East Regina Neighborhoods

I should be upfront: Spruce Meadows doesn't generate a lot of online discussion. It's a smaller neighborhood without the marketing presence of places like Harbour Landing or The Greens. But that's part of the opportunity here.

The neighborhood offers two distinct housing types:

West Side (1990s development): Quiet, family-oriented crescents with single-family homes. Despite backing onto Prince of Wales Drive, the set-back positioning creates effective sound buffering. Real estate descriptions note these areas are "surprisingly quiet."

East Side (newer condos): 4-storey low-rise condominium buildings with underground parking and elevator access. Some traffic noise is acknowledged for units facing Prince of Wales Drive, but these offer modern, low-maintenance living at accessible prices.

What ties both areas together is the recreational access. Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is genuinely walkable from Spruce Meadows—swimming pool, gym, spray pad, accessible playground, and the Sunrise Branch Library. That's a rare combination of amenities within walking distance.

Home Prices in Spruce Meadows Regina

Let me be direct about pricing. Spruce Meadows is one of the more affordable East Regina options—prices typically run 25-30% below the Regina citywide average.

Here's how that breaks down:

• Condos: Modern 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom units with underground parking. Price per square foot is competitive, and these attract first-time buyers and investors.
• Single-family homes: 3-4 bedroom properties on the west side, typically 1990s construction.

Compared to The Greens or The Creeks, Spruce Meadows offers newer construction without the premium price tag. Real estate professionals describe it as "best value in East End for modern construction."

One thing to understand: Spruce Meadows median prices are notably lower than the Regina average. This makes it accessible for first-time buyers who want to get into the market at a reasonable price point.

Is Spruce Meadows a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Regina overall operates as a seller's market with inventory constraints, and Spruce Meadows follows that pattern. Months of supply across the city runs well below balanced market levels.

Condos in Spruce Meadows show more variation—well-priced units in good condition tend to move within 30-45 days, while older or less desirable units may take longer.

What this means for buyers: the affordability of Spruce Meadows attracts steady interest, but you're not competing against the same intensity as prestige neighborhoods. This is a practical market, not a speculative one.

For sellers, the key is realistic pricing. Buyers at this price point are often first-time purchasers or investors who are very cost-conscious. Overpricing doesn't work even in a seller's market.

Schools Serving Spruce Meadows Regina

Schools are usually one of the first questions I get from families. Regina has two school systems—Public and Catholic—and families in Spruce Meadows have options in both.

Public Schools

Elementary: Jack MacKenzie Elementary School

Jack MacKenzie School serves the Spruce Meadows area for Pre-K through Grade 8. The school is a short walk from Spruce Meadows residences and is celebrating its 25th anniversary in May 2026.

High School Options:

• Campbell Collegiate - Ranked among Regina's top high schools with Advanced Placement programs, French Immersion (Grades 9-12), and Spanish instruction
• Sheldon-Williams Collegiate - Established in 1956, offers Advanced Placement in math, English, psychology, and visual art

Catholic Schools

Elementary: St. Gabriel School

St. Gabriel School serves Catholic families in the Spruce Meadows area, offering Pre-K through Grade 8.

For Catholic high school options, families should check with Regina Catholic School Division to confirm their designated school based on elementary attendance.

French Immersion

French Immersion isn't available at Jack MacKenzie directly, but designated French Immersion elementary schools serve the area: École Centennial Community School, École Connaught Community School, École W.S. Hawrylak School, and École Massey School.

High school French Immersion continues at Campbell Collegiate or Thom Collegiate.

Important: School boundaries can change, so verify current boundaries with the school divisions before making decisions based on school access.

How Safe is Spruce Meadows Neighborhood?

Safety is something I take seriously when helping families find homes. Spruce Meadows benefits from being part of the Arcola East area, which has strong safety statistics.

The data: The broader Arcola East area shows crime rates approximately 40% lower than the Regina average across total crime, violent crime, and property crime. That's a significant difference.

What contributes to safety: The neighborhood's family-oriented design on the west side—crescents with limited through-traffic, proximity to schools and recreation—creates the kind of environment where people are outside and visible. The pathway connections encourage walking and cycling, which means more activity and natural community surveillance.

What's absent from the conversation: Spruce Meadows doesn't appear in any safety warnings or crime discussions. Unlike some Regina neighborhoods that generate specific cautions, there's simply nothing negative being said about safety here—which is actually a positive indicator.

Spruce Meadows vs. Other East Regina Neighborhoods

Spruce Meadows vs. Parkridge

Parkridge is called "the sweet spot of East Regina"—1980s-1990s homes with larger lots, mature trees, and park-to-school walkability.

Price comparison: Parkridge typically costs more than Spruce Meadows, but offers larger single-family lots and established character.

Choose Spruce Meadows if: You want accessible pricing or are interested in condo living with modern amenities.

Choose Parkridge if: You want more space, established landscaping, and a larger single-family home.

Development Outlook for Spruce Meadows

Spruce Meadows has evolved over the past decade from a single-family west-side neighborhood to include eastern condo development. This pattern is likely to continue.

Coming infrastructure:

• New schools: A joint-use elementary school (1,400 students) and joint-use high school (up to 2,000 students) have been announced for The Towns area
• Eastgate Crossing: 80,000 sq ft new construction anchored by Loblaw Properties
• Aurora Development: 68 acres with Costco, Landmark Cinemas, Staples, PetSmart, plus residential units

Spruce Meadows is positioned in a growth corridor. Nearby amenities will continue expanding. Property values should appreciate modestly as the area matures.

Things to Consider Before Buying in Spruce Meadows

I always try to give clients the full picture:

Traffic noise: Properties facing Prince of Wales Drive may experience traffic noise. West-side homes are buffered, but units on the east side acknowledge some noise exposure.

Limited online information: If you're the type of buyer who researches extensively online, you'll find less about Spruce Meadows than other neighborhoods. This means more direct investigation is needed—visiting, talking to residents, working with an agent who knows the area.

Condo considerations: The east side condos have HOA fees that cover snow removal, lawn maintenance, and structural insurance. Factor these into your budget along with the purchase price.

Evolving neighborhood: Spruce Meadows is still developing character as the commercial areas mature. This means growth potential but also some uncertainty compared to long-established neighborhoods.

School boundaries: As with any Regina neighborhood, verify current school boundaries before making decisions based on school access.
