Regina Housing Highlights - Nov 15, 2023
Affordable, charming, walkable houses in Canada for sale under $250,000
Yes, that’s right — we’re back again with more Regina “Housing Highlights”, a brief look at some of the local housing units for sale in Regina (and maybe eventually other cities too) for less than $250,000.
Here’s the catch — the housing we’ll be highlighting will consist entirely of places with great Walk Scores, Bike Scores, or Transit Scores (and ideally all three) from the eponymous WalkScore.com. They will also look nice, interesting, unusual or wacky in some way or have some other vague, subjective potential.
All the usual disclaimers apply — and we should point out that nobody here at Prairie Townscapes is making any commissions or receiving any incentives for doing this. All images are from Realtor.ca and the listings are linked below.

We’re starting out with a stately character house located in the centre of Regina. Plenty of nearby amenities, including hospital, and a panoply of services reachable on foot — a mere 20 minute walk to downtown Regina. Stroll down the “kissing canopy” tree-lined streets in a historic section of town, complete with quaint pathways, gardens and archways. A pool is nearby. Some minor renos required to turn this into your private dream castle. Check out the listing here.

Someone forgot to take a photo of the front of the house! Whoops! Fortunately Google Street View came to the rescue. This house, located in a multi-paradise of Walking and Biking, is nestled into a distinct corner of the trendy boho neighbourhood of Cathedral. 13th Avenue shopping and restaurants await you, downtown is a short walk away, and bike paths are not too distant. It’s hard to overstate the great vibe of this area, truly one of Saskatchewan’s gems. Check out the listing here.

Finally, something a bit different for Regina Housing Highlights — one of the few newish builds in Regina in a genuinely walkable area. This condo building is a short walk from downtown and has something of a main street located down below, with a Subway, a coffee shop and various professional services. A short walk from one of the gateways to Wascana Park and the lake. The unit itself will provide what you need every day, and even features a balcony. How about that? You’ll be close to all the action Regina has to offer! Check out the listing here.
