If you're considering Wascana View, you're looking at one of Regina's most exclusive neighborhoods. I'll be upfront—this isn't entry-level territory. Homes here typically range from $600,000 to well over $1 million, putting it firmly in the luxury segment. But for families who want direct access to Wascana Centre, mature landscaping, and some of the best school access in the city, it's worth understanding what makes this neighborhood different. The homes were built primarily in the 1990s and early 2000s, so you're getting modern construction with established character—mature trees, wider lots, and that settled neighborhood feel that newer subdivisions can't replicate. What I tell my clients is that Wascana View buyers aren't just purchasing a home; they're investing in a lifestyle centered around green space and community stability.
I've been showing homes in Regina for years, and Wascana View stands out for a specific reason: no other neighborhood in the city offers this level of green space integration. The neighborhood borders Wascana Centre on multiple sides—we're talking about direct access to over 930 hectares of urban parkland, including Wascana Lake, the Legislative Building grounds, and the McKell Wascana Conservation Park.
The neighborhood was approved for development in 1986 and built primarily through the 1990s into the early 2000s. What makes it distinctive is the intentional design around green space—the parks are shaped "like a hand with five fingers of greenspace weaving behind many of the homes." Many properties back directly onto park areas or have unobstructed views of the conservation lands.
The McKell Wascana Conservation Park at the neighborhood's southern border is a 171-acre preserve of native prairie habitat with 4 kilometers of walking trails. Wascana Creek meanders through, and you've got wetland habitat, interpretive stations, and natural landscape that you simply won't find anywhere else in Regina.
Let me give you the honest picture on pricing. Wascana View is Regina's premium market—homes here typically sell for $600,000 to well over $1 million, which is roughly 1.8 to 3 times the city's benchmark price of around $335,000.
Recent sales have included properties at $1.69 million, $1.49 million, and $750,000, reflecting the range depending on specific location, lot size, and finishes. Properties backing onto green space or with walkout basements command premium pricing within the neighborhood.
Here's what you're paying for at these price points:
I should mention: Regina's market in October 2025 had only 1.99 months of supply, with well-priced homes selling in about 32 days. In premium neighborhoods like Wascana View, inventory remains tight and demand is consistent from buyers who specifically want this neighborhood.
Schools are usually one of the first questions I get from families considering Wascana View. The good news is the area is served by highly regarded schools in both systems.
Jack MacKenzie School at 3838 Buckingham Drive East is the primary public elementary option, serving kindergarten through grade 8. It's consistently ranked among the best elementary schools in Regina. The school offers French Immersion alongside English instruction, plus strong Band and Student Leadership programs.
For high school, students typically attend Campbell Collegiate at 102 Massey Road in Whitmore Park. Campbell offers Advanced Placement courses, French Immersion continuation, and has strong athletic programs including football, basketball, volleyball, and soccer. It's the largest student population among Regina high schools.
École St. Elizabeth is a French Immersion Catholic school serving the southeast corner of Regina, sharing facilities with Wascana Plains School through the Joint-Use Schools Project. Classes run from 8:50 AM to 3:25 PM.
For Catholic high school, Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School in Albert Park is highly regarded for its academic programs, faith-based learning, and extracurricular offerings. The school emphasizes academic excellence alongside Catholic faith development.
Safety is something I take seriously when helping families find homes. Wascana View is specifically identified as a peaceful, upscale neighborhood particularly suited to families, with well-maintained streets and beautiful parks contributing to its safety profile.
I'll be transparent—Regina as a whole has historically had higher crime rates than other Canadian cities. However, crime is concentrated disproportionately in downtown and north-central areas, not the southeast where Wascana View is located. The neighborhood's established character, owner-occupied housing, and affluent demographics all correlate with lower crime rates.
The active Neighbourhood Watch Program and strong community engagement through the neighborhood association create informal surveillance networks that support safety. Long-term resident relationships and community bonds strengthen these natural crime prevention mechanisms.
This is where Wascana View truly excels. The neighborhood provides unparalleled access to Wascana Centre—930 hectares of urban parkland with a 300-acre lake, 14.3 kilometers of paved and unpaved pathways, and cultural attractions including the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Saskatchewan Science Centre, Mackenzie Art Gallery, and Conexus Arts Centre.
Within the neighborhood, you have Wascana View Park with multiple play structures, water features, and walking paths. The McKell Wascana Conservation Park offers 4 kilometers of nature trails through native prairie habitat with interpretive stations and wildlife viewing.
The Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre is nearby, offering swimming, fitness classes, and sports facilities for families.
There's no commercial development within Wascana View itself—that's intentional to maintain the residential character. You're driving 5 to 10 minutes for groceries and shopping. Southland Shopping Centre serves the south end, and Victoria Square Shopping Centre is accessible within about 10 to 15 minutes.
Grocery options include Safeway, Sobeys, and Save-On-Foods, all within reasonable driving distance.
From Wascana View to downtown Regina, you're looking at about 8 to 15 minutes by car depending on specific addresses and traffic. Transit Line 40 provides connection to downtown in approximately 8 minutes for about $4 per trip.
I'll be honest—car ownership is practical necessity for Wascana View residents. The suburban location and limited transit frequency mean most families maintain two vehicles. Triple garages are common in the neighborhood for this reason.
Both neighborhoods are in Regina's luxury segment and frequently appear on the same shortlists. The Creeks offers newer construction (2007 onward) with strict architectural standards and environmental reserve access. Wascana View offers mature landscaping, established character, and direct adjacency to Wascana Centre's extensive park system. Price points are comparable. If you prefer established character with mature trees, look at Wascana View. If you prefer newer construction with customization options, consider The Creeks.
Windsor Park offers similar mature character and family orientation but at significantly lower price points ($195,000 to $900,000). Both have excellent school access and established trees. Wascana View commands a premium for its direct Wascana Centre adjacency and larger lot sizes. For families prioritizing value, Windsor Park delivers much of the same lifestyle at a lower price point.
I always try to give my clients the full picture, including considerations:
Premium pricing: This is Regina's luxury segment. Property taxes scale with value, and you're making a significant financial commitment. Make sure your budget accounts for ongoing costs.
Car dependency: Despite the excellent pathways and green space, you're driving for shopping and most errands. The neighborhood is designed around vehicle ownership.
Housing age: Most homes are 20 to 30+ years old. While construction quality is solid, you may encounter maintenance items—roofs, HVAC systems, windows—that newer homes wouldn't need for another decade.
Potential road development: There's ongoing discussion about a proposed road through the McKell Wascana Conservation Park to address southeast traffic. The outcome is uncertain, but it's worth being aware of as it could affect the area.
Wascana View is in Regina's luxury segment, with homes typically selling for $600,000 to well over $1 million—roughly 1.8 to 3 times the city's benchmark price. Recent sales have ranged from $750,000 to $1.69 million depending on location, lot size, and finishes. Properties backing onto green space or with walkout basements command premium pricing.
For public education, Jack MacKenzie School (K-8) is the highly ranked primary elementary option with French Immersion available. Campbell Collegiate serves high school students with Advanced Placement courses. For Catholic education, École St. Elizabeth provides French Immersion elementary, and Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School is the primary secondary option, known for academic excellence and faith-based learning.
Wascana View is identified as a peaceful, upscale neighborhood particularly suited to families. Crime in Regina is concentrated in downtown and north-central areas, not the southeast where Wascana View is located. The neighborhood's established character, owner-occupied housing, affluent demographics, and active Neighbourhood Watch Program all contribute to above-average safety compared to city averages.
Wascana View's defining feature is unmatched green space access—direct adjacency to Wascana Centre (930 hectares of urban parkland) and the McKell Wascana Conservation Park (171 acres of native prairie). The neighborhood design weaves five "fingers" of greenspace behind many homes. Combine this with mature 25+ year-old trees, larger lots than newer subdivisions, and proximity to top-rated schools, and you have a distinctive residential environment.
The commute from Wascana View to downtown Regina is approximately 8 to 15 minutes by car depending on traffic. Transit Line 40 provides about an 8-minute connection to downtown for $4 per trip. However, car ownership remains practical necessity for most families given suburban location and limited transit frequency.
Both are in Regina's luxury segment at comparable price points. The Creeks offers newer construction (2007+) with strict architectural standards and environmental reserve access. Wascana View offers mature landscaping, established 20-30 year character, and direct Wascana Centre adjacency. Choose Wascana View for established character with mature trees; choose The Creeks for newer construction with customization options.
