If you're looking at Windsor Park, you've probably heard other agents call it the "sweet spot" for families in East Regina—and honestly, I'd agree with that assessment. The neighborhood was built primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which means you get modern home layouts with established character: mature trees, wider lots than newer subdivisions, and a settled community feel. What I tell my clients is that Windsor Park offers something that's getting harder to find—the space and privacy of suburban living without the premium pricing of luxury neighborhoods. Homes here range from around $195,000 to $900,000, making it accessible for first-time buyers through to families needing more space. The Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre anchors the neighborhood with swimming, fitness, and a library, all walkable from most homes. Let me walk you through what living here actually looks like.
I've been showing homes in East Regina for years, and Windsor Park keeps coming up on shortlists for a reason. The neighborhood hits a balance that's genuinely hard to find: homes built with modern layouts (open concepts, vaulted ceilings) but with 25 years of mature landscaping that newer subdivisions simply don't have.
The lots here are wider than what you'll find in newer developments like The Towns or Harbour Landing. That means more separation between homes, bigger yards, and greater privacy. The mature trees have had decades to grow, providing shade in summer and established character that makes the neighborhood feel settled rather than sterile.
The other thing that sets Windsor Park apart is the community hub at the corner of Windsor Park Road and Buckingham Drive. You've got the Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre with swimming, fitness facilities, and a hockey rink. The Regina Public Library's Sunrise branch is right there. And the unique joint-use school facility houses both public and Catholic elementary schools in one building—which means families in either system have walkable schools.
Let me give you the honest picture on pricing. Windsor Park offers genuinely good value compared to premium neighborhoods like Wascana View or The Creeks, while still delivering the family-friendly character and established infrastructure that buyers want.
Homes here typically range from about $195,000 to $900,000, depending on size, condition, and lot specifics. The vast majority of homes were built between 1995 and 2005, featuring stucco exteriors and double attached garages as standard.
Here's what affects pricing within the neighborhood:
Regina's market as of late 2025 had just 1.99 months of supply, with well-priced homes selling in about 32 days. Windsor Park sees consistent demand from families seeking established neighborhoods at accessible price points.
Schools are usually one of the first questions I get from families considering Windsor Park. The good news is the neighborhood has something unique: Regina's first joint-use elementary facility, housing both public and Catholic schools in a single building.
Jack MacKenzie School (Public) at 3838 Buckingham Drive East serves the public system students. It's one of the best-ranked elementary schools in Regina, offering French Immersion alongside English instruction, plus strong Band and Student Leadership programs.
St. Gabriel School (Catholic) shares the same facility, providing Catholic education from kindergarten through grade 8. The school emphasizes faith-based learning with a mission to guide students in Christian values while fostering academic excellence.
The beauty of this joint-use setup is that families with children in different school systems can still walk to school together. It creates a safe, walkable environment without crossing major intersections—traffic-calmed streets lead directly to the school from most parts of the neighborhood.
Campbell Collegiate (Public) at 102 Massey Road serves public system students. It's the largest high school in Regina by student population, offering Advanced Placement courses, French Immersion continuation, and strong athletic programs. Campbell recently launched the Regina Football Academy in partnership with Regina Catholic Schools—a new learning initiative for grades 9-11.
Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School at 1027 College Avenue serves Catholic system students. Miller was the first high school built by Regina Catholic School Division (1966) and offers Advanced Placement, French Immersion, and modified programming options.
Safety is something I take seriously when helping families find homes. I'll be direct with you—Regina as a whole has historically had higher crime rates than other Canadian cities. The data shows total crime rates about 24% higher than the national average.
However, crime isn't distributed evenly across the city. Regina Police Service maintains neighborhood-specific statistics showing that crime is concentrated primarily in downtown and some transitional neighborhoods. East Regina, where Windsor Park is located, experiences lower rates.
Windsor Park's reputation as a family-oriented, established neighborhood suggests lower crime relative to city averages. The traffic-calmed streets, family populations, extensive recreational facilities, and community centres create natural activity and surveillance that criminologists recognize as supporting neighborhood safety. The Arcola East Community Association provides structure for community engagement and informal networks that strengthen natural crime prevention.
This is the heart of Windsor Park's recreational life. Located at 3130 East Woodhams Drive, the leisure centre offers swimming lessons and leisure swimming, workout facilities with strength and conditioning equipment, hot tub and sauna access, and a full-service hockey rink. Hours run Monday-Friday 6 AM to 9:25 PM, weekends 9 AM to 8:30 PM.
The Regina Public Library's Sunrise branch is housed in the same building—it has public computers, 3D printing, children's computers, and multilingual collections. For families, having a library walkable from home is genuinely valuable.
Prince William Park branches throughout the neighborhood with a man-made lake, paved walking paths, splash pad, play structures, ball diamonds, and basketball courts. The park system creates a "green spine" connecting residential areas to schools and community facilities. In October 2025, a new pathways project opened connecting Wascana Community Center to Windsor Park Collegiate and beyond to outdoor classroom, community garden, tennis courts, and baseball diamond.
The intentional design around walking connectivity means you can move through the neighborhood on foot without navigating major traffic corridors—something families with kids especially appreciate.
Real Canadian Superstore is nearby at 2055 Prince of Wales Drive, offering both in-store shopping and grocery pickup. Additional grocery options include Save-On-Foods, Sobeys, and specialty retailers like M&M Food Market and Prairie Spicy Foods within reasonable driving distance.
From Windsor Park to downtown Regina, you're looking at about 10 to 15 minutes by car depending on traffic. The Number 2 bus serves Windsor Park with the first bus at 5:41 AM for early commuters.
I'll be honest—like most Regina suburbs, car ownership is practically necessary for daily life. Transit exists and works for some commuters, but most families maintain vehicles for flexibility.
Both neighborhoods appeal to families and are frequently compared. The Greens offers newer construction with contemporary design, but Windsor Park has wider lots, more mature trees, and generally better value per square foot. The Greens commands premium pricing due to newness; Windsor Park delivers similar lifestyle at lower cost. Choose Windsor Park if you prioritize established character and lot size; choose The Greens if you prioritize brand-new construction.
Harbour Landing is in southwest Regina versus Windsor Park in the east. Both serve family markets. Harbour Landing offers newer construction and proximity to Grasslands Shopping Centre, but lots are typically narrower and trees are immature. Windsor Park offers established character, mature landscaping, and the Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre. Price points overlap, so it often comes down to which part of the city works better for your commute.
I always try to give my clients the full picture, including considerations:
Housing age: Most homes are 20 to 30 years old. That means solid construction but you may encounter maintenance items—roofs, furnaces, water heaters—sooner than with newer homes. Budget for potential updates, especially original 1990s kitchens if cosmetic updates appeal to you.
Car dependency: Despite excellent parks and pathways, you'll need a vehicle for groceries, shopping, and most errands. Transit serves the area but isn't practical for most family needs.
High school commute: Elementary schools are walkable, but high schools require transportation. Neither Campbell Collegiate nor Miller Comprehensive is in the immediate neighborhood.
Competition for well-priced homes: Windsor Park's reputation means good properties move quickly. Be pre-approved and ready to act when the right home comes up.
Windsor Park homes typically range from $195,000 to $900,000, with most properties built between 1995 and 2005. The neighborhood offers good value compared to premium neighborhoods, with mature lots, established landscaping, and modern layouts at accessible price points. Properties with updated kitchens and finished basements sell faster and often attract multiple offers.
Windsor Park features Regina's first joint-use elementary facility: Jack MacKenzie School (Public) and St. Gabriel School (Catholic) share a building at 3838 Buckingham Drive East. Both serve K-8 and are walkable from most homes. For high school, public students attend Campbell Collegiate; Catholic students attend Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School.
Windsor Park is recognized as a family-oriented neighborhood with lower crime rates compared to city averages. Crime in Regina is concentrated in downtown and transitional areas, not East Regina where Windsor Park is located. The traffic-calmed streets, active community association, and family populations create conditions that support natural neighborhood safety.
Windsor Park balances modern home layouts (1995-2005 construction) with established neighborhood character—25+ years of mature trees, wider lots than newer subdivisions, and the Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre as a walkable community hub. The joint-use elementary school means both public and Catholic families have walkable schools. You get suburban space and family amenities without luxury neighborhood pricing.
The Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre (swimming, fitness, hockey, library) anchors the neighborhood. Prince William Park provides a man-made lake, walking paths, splash pad, play structures, and sports courts throughout the area. Real Canadian Superstore is nearby for groceries. The community centre and pathway system create a walkable, connected neighborhood feel.
The commute from Windsor Park to downtown Regina is approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car. The Number 2 bus serves Windsor Park with early morning service starting at 5:41 AM. However, like most Regina suburbs, car ownership remains practical necessity for most families given suburban location and transit frequency limitations.
